Willow Springs International Motorsports Park
Willow Springs International Motorsports Park, Motorsport racing complex in Rosamond, California, US.
Willow Springs International Motorsports Park is a racing facility in Kern County with eight separate tracks spread across a vast desert property. The main circuit stretches 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) through nine turns, while smaller layouts serve motorcycles, karting, and other disciplines.
The site opened in 1953 with an oiled dirt surface that was paved by 1954 and has maintained its original layout since. Over the following decades, the property grew with additional circuits for different racing series and testing purposes.
The California State designated this facility as an Official Point of Historical Interest in 1996, recognizing its role in American motorsport development.
The facility sits roughly 80 miles (130 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles in a remote desert area where summer heat can be intense. Shade is limited, so bring sun protection and plenty of water.
Michael Andretti set a lap record of 1 minute and 6.050 seconds at an average speed of 136 miles per hour (220 kilometers per hour). The property has also served as a testing ground for racing teams and car manufacturers who appreciate the remote location and varied track conditions.
