Utah Motorsports Campus Outer Circuit
Utah Motorsports Campus is the top destination for racing in the Beehive State, in Grantsville, 30 miles west of Salt Lake City. The genesis of this motorsports complex came in 2006 when Larry H. Miller, the owner of the NBA franchise Utah Jazz, brought the South African race track designer Allan Wilson to create a playground for automobile, motorcycle, and karting racers in the state. The results were solid: four multipurpose racing circuits providing high-speed segments combined with technically challenging trajectories for all types of motor vehicles.
The scenery around Utah Motorsports Campus is remarkable, with the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains on the horizon and clear skies most of the year. Each of its four layouts has something to offer: the Outer Circuit is one of the fastest road courses in America. The East & West Circuits are very demanding tracks able to operate simultaneously. The Full Course is the second-longest raceway in America. Many professional racing associations have Utah Motorsports Campus as a staple part of their racing season, including AMA Superbike Championship, NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, American Le-Mans Series, and several other racing events.
The Outer Circuit at Utah Motorsports Campus in Tooele utilizes the facility's outermost perimeter routing, creating one of the longest configurations at this comprehensive motorsport complex west of Salt Lake City. The Outer designation indicates maximum distance utilization combining multiple course sections into an extended layout. This configuration serves endurance events, advanced track day groups, and racing series requiring substantial circuit length challenges at elevation in Utah's high desert environment.
Operating the Outer Circuit showcases Utah Motorsports Campus' exceptional infrastructure where multiple configurations serve diverse motorsport disciplines from road racing to karting. The facility's 4,500-foot elevation creates unique atmospheric conditions affecting engine power and aerodynamics. Utah's desert climate creates extreme seasonal temperature variation with summer highs exceeding 38C and winter lows below freezing. The Outer Circuit configuration provides maximum distance challenge demonstrating the facility's comprehensive scope as the Intermountain West's premier motorsport destination serving Salt Lake City metropolitan area.
