Track 3: Wet Road Course

Overview

Track 3 is a .9 mile long wet handling road course (also configurable in a .45 mile length). Because the track surface has a consistent 0.5% slope, the water depth is precisely controlled. This makes it ideal for studying wet handling characteristics, hydroplaning and lateral adherence, in addition to fine-tuning wet weather driving skills.
