With its 17 turns, the 2.38-mile (3.38-kilometer) 40-foot (12.2 meters) wide track combines a balance of slow, medium and high speed corners. The track is configured to run both clockwise and counter-clockwise. Safety is our number one priority, and the course features paved runoff areas in all critical braking and exit zones, as well as abundant verge areas around the entire track. Drivers have a clear view of the track and corners to see potential problems ahead. Race control has views of the entire track, along with a closed-circuit camera system with views of each corner. MSR Houston is an FIA approved track and sanctioned for testing by the Indy Racing League and IMSA.
