Road America, Motorsport racing track in Plymouth, Wisconsin.
Road America is a motorsport circuit in Plymouth, Wisconsin, known for its natural layout through wooded terrain. The course winds through hills and valleys, with each corner offering different radii and camber angles.
The course opened in September 1955 after land was acquired to build a permanent racing venue. Since then the original layout has been preserved while safety zones and facilities have been modernized.
The name reflects the idea that American drivers should compete on home soil against European rivals. Today visitors from several states come to watch races where drivers navigate through woods and over hills.
Most major races happen on weekends between spring and fall, with spectators finding multiple viewing points along the track. Early arrival is helpful during events since the grounds cover a large area.
The track carries its own postal address despite sitting outside town limits, reflecting its size and importance. Drivers often call one section a test of nerves because it requires tiny corrections at high speed.
