Watkins Glen International, Motorsport racing track in Dix, New York, US
The 3.4-mile racing circuit features 11 distinct turns and elevation changes across rolling hills near Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes region.
The track evolved from public streets in 1948 to a permanent facility in 1956, later hosting Formula One United States Grand Prix from 1961 to 1980.
The International Motor Racing Research Center contains 5,000 square feet of exhibits, archives, and rotating displays of vintage racing vehicles from different eras.
Between April and October, visitors can experience the Drive the Glen program, allowing them to operate their personal vehicles on the professional racing circuit.
The track underwent a major extension in 1971 with the addition of the Boot section, increasing the circuit length while creating more technical driving segments.
