Road Atlanta is one of North America’s most challenging and rewarding circuits, set amongst the rolling hills of Braselton, Georgia. The 4 km circuit is famous for its fast, flowing layout, dramatic elevation changes and narrow sections that leave little room for mistakes. The lap begins with the fast downhill run towards Turn 1, before climbing through the sweeping Esses, where rhythm and commitment are key. The track then drops towards the famous Turn 5 before opening out into the high-speed section leading towards the back of the circuit.
The highlight of Road Atlanta is undoubtedly the back section and Turn 10A/10B, where the track plunges downhill through a series of challenging corners before climbing back towards the final turn. The long back straight provides an important overtaking opportunity into Turn 10, while the fast Turn 12 demands a clean, confident line and good traction on exit. For WEC, IMSA and multiclass racing, Road Atlanta is particularly demanding, with faster prototypes needing to pick their way through GT traffic while drivers fight for every inch of the narrow circuit.
