Track Map
The Donnybrooke
Road Course, BIR’s original 3.1-mile, 10-turn road
course, is still operational and continues to be a
favorite of many racers who love the mile-long
straightaway followed by the fastest turn of any
road course in the country. BIR added a segment of
track that connected Turns 8 and 1 to separate the
drag strip from the road course, giving BIR the
ability to run dual events that feature drag racing
and road racing. The result was the 2.5 mile
Competition Road Course |

One of the oldest

Open-road races were held from 1950 through 1952 on
the highways through and around Elkhart Lake until
legislation passed in 1953 banning racing on public
roads. The facility sits on 525 acres of countryside
in Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine area. Road America is
one of only a hand-full of road circuits in the
world maintaining its original configuration. |
