Grandsport Speedway 1.4 Miles CW

The Grandsport Speedway is a private, user-focused motorsports facility located midway between Galveston and Houston, Texas. It operates in a membership-based scheme providing track access for club members, racing clubs, driving schools, and the general public on open track days. Grandsport also hosts several spectator events throughout the year, but the main emphasis goes to provide motor enthusiasts with a top-notch raceway for riding their high-performance vehicles. It rains heavily and consistently throughout the year in the race track location, prone to floods, thunderstorms, and even hurricanes. Keeping an eye on the weather forecast is an absolute necessity. Winters are mild, with snow being a rare occurrence in this area.

There are four different configurations for Grandsport Speedway: a 1.4-mile (2.25-km) clockwise circuit, its counterclockwise variation, a 1-mile (1.6-km) clockwise track, and its counterclockwise variation. The main difference between the two main layouts is the presence (or absence) of The Horseshoe, a combination of three sharp turns in quick succession that has become a signature feature of the track. The average velocity varies depending on the configuration in use, ranging between 65 to 80 mph (104 to 128 km/h).
