The second US Track Pack is here and with it 2 tracks with totally opposite personalities! 

First up, Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta! Set among the rolling hills of Braselton, Georgia, Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is one of America’s most iconic sports car circuits. Built in just six months on 750 acres, the 2.54-mile, 12-turn natural-terrain circuit opened in September 1970.

It's modern endurance-racing legacy began with the inaugural Petit Le Mans on 11 October 1998, created by Don Panoz as a North American counterpart to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ferrari 333 SP drivers Wayne Taylor, Eric van de Poele and Emmanuel Collard claimed the first victory. The event helped inspire the creation of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) in 1999, with Road Atlanta becoming a cornerstone of the championship. The circuit remains a major American endurance-racing venue and the home of Motul Petit Le Mans,

Michelin’s relationship with the circuit stretches back decades, with its tyres competing and being developed through racing at Road Atlanta. Michelin became the track’s Official Tire Partner before securing exclusive naming rights in October 2018. From January 2019, the venue officially became Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, making it the first racetrack anywhere in the world to carry Michelin’s name.

Today’s circuit retains its legendary high-speed character, including the famous downhill Esses, blind Turn 12 and dramatic elevation changes. The track has three principal configurations across its history, with the current Grand Prix layout being released in game for now.

Set on the waterfront streets of Long Beach, California, the Streets of Long Beach Circuit is one of North America’s most famous temporary road courses. First used in 1975, the circuit was created by promoter Chris Pook as an American answer to Monaco, helping transform Long Beach into a major international motorsport destination. The current configuration measures 1.968 miles (3.167 km) and features 11 turns, with its fast Shoreline Drive straight, tight hairpin and unforgiving concrete walls making it a unique challenge.

Sports car racing returned to Long Beach in 2006 with the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, before the circuit joined the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) from 2007 to 2013.

Today, Long Beach remains a major stop on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship calendars. The race weekend also features Porsche Carrera Cup North America, Formula Drift’s Super Drift Challenge and SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks, making it one of the busiest motorsport weekends in the United States

The circuit has undergone numerous layout changes, with versions ranging from roughly 1.57 to 2.13 miles. A shortened configuration was also used for Formula E in 2015–16.

An interesting fact: the Long Beach Grand Prix was once home to Formula 1, hosting the United States Grand Prix West from 1976–1983.
