Track Facts
Racing at Watkins Glen dates to 1948, when the original course ran through public streets in the village — the modern permanent circuit opened in 1956.
The circuit hosted the United States Grand Prix for Formula 1 from 1961 to 1980, cementing its place in motorsport history.
The Boot — a tight downhill left-right complex in the infield — is one of the most challenging sections of the circuit and a spot where championships are won and lost.
The long front straight and fast Esses make it one of the highest average-speed road courses in North America.
Watkins Glen sits in the Finger Lakes region of New York, making it one of the most scenic race venues in America.
