Track 1: Noise & Comfort Loop / Dry Braking

Overview
Track One is the facility’s largest. For dry surface testing, it has a long noise and comfort loop which features numerous surfaces that simulate real-world roads, from smooth asphalt to broken concrete and potholes, and just about everything in-between.
Track One is also extensively used for straight-line braking analysis.
