02Overview
What Kansas Speedway is like to drive.
The full circuit layout at Kansas Speedway is 2.37 miles with 8 corners worth setting up for and about 18 ft of elevation change. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 5 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 52% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 1821 ft.
4 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 3 are fast (over 75 mph). There are hairpins where exit speed matters more than entry. The corner notes below come from the mapped geometry, not from local knowledge; we’ll add a researched guide for Kansas Speedway later.

The speed trace is a model, not a real lap: a generic track-day car (about 1.1 g of cornering grip, 1 g braking, 150 W/kg) driven on the computed line through an assumed 12 m wide track. Use it to see where the braking zones and flat-out sections are, not to predict your speeds. Elevation: USGS 3DEP 1/3 arc-second (NED 10 m) via OpenTopoData, sampled every 25 m along the mapped centerline.
04Corner by corner
The corners at Kansas Speedway.
TRACK’s own corner numbering (C1, C2…), found from the curvature of the mapped centerline. It isn’t the official turn numbering. Each diagram shows the computed line: the minimum-curvature path through an assumed 12 m wide track. It’s a geometric starting point. Your instructor’s line comes first.

Slow left-hander
↰ LeftslowchicaneTRACK numbering
A slow left-hand chicane that turns about 125°, tightening to a radius of roughly 25 m (82 ft). The model car brakes for about 245 m (804 ft), from 142 to 47 mph. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes a late apex, about 5 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

Medium right-hander
↱ RightmediumchicaneTRACK numbering
A medium right-hand chicane that turns about 138°, tightening to a radius of roughly 24 m (79 ft). The model car barely brakes here, carrying about 58 mph: a lift or a confident throttle balance. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes a late apex, about 140 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

A slow right-hand hairpin that turns about 180°, tightening to a radius of roughly 14 m (46 ft). The model car brakes for about 155 m (509 ft), from 115 to 36 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes a late apex, about 10 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

Every mapped loop at Kansas Speedway.
TRACK finds each closed loop in the OpenStreetMap raceway network. Named layouts come from OSM circuit relations; the rest are named by length, and some may be combinations the venue never runs. Your first session confirms which one you drove.

06Time it with TRACK
Drive Kansas Speedway. TRACK knows where you are.
No setup and no transponder. Start a session in the paddock and TRACK recognises Kansas Speedway and the layout from your GPS trace, then times every lap and sector with a live delta to your best.
- 1DetectTRACK matches your first few hundred metres against every mapped layout at Kansas Speedway, including shared pavement between configurations.
- 2Confirm the lineThe start/finish line here is estimated. When you’re stopped, TRACK shows it on the map: accept it or tap to move it. You’re never asked while driving.
- 3Laps, timed retroactivelyLaps you drove before confirming are timed from the recorded trace, so you don’t lose your first session.
- 4Go furtherSync a GoPro for video with telemetry and let TRACK Engineer point out where the time is. External 10–25 Hz GPS receivers for tighter sectors are awaiting hardware validation.
- Venue and layout detection is tested on simulated drives over real OpenStreetMap circuits, not yet in a real car. Compatible GPS receivers

FAQ
Kansas Speedway, answered.
How long is Kansas Speedway?
OpenStreetMap maps 3 closed loops at Kansas Speedway, from 0.87 mi to 2.37 mi (3.81 km). These are mapped centerline lengths; the venue’s published figures can differ slightly.
How much elevation change is there at Kansas Speedway?
About 18 ft (6 m) between the lowest and highest points of the full circuit layout, from USGS 3DEP elevation data sampled every 25 m. The steepest stretch is around 2%.
Which direction does Kansas Speedway run?
The main mapped layout runs counter-clockwise, from one-way tagging in OpenStreetMap. Check the event’s driver briefing: some venues run reverse-direction days.
Can I time laps at Kansas Speedway with my phone?
Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Kansas Speedway and the layout you’re driving from GPS, then times laps and sectors. A phone’s GPS is good for lap times; an external 10–25 Hz receiver tightens sector splits.
Where is the start/finish line at Kansas Speedway?
TRACK estimates the line from the mapped geometry (usually beside the pit lane, or on the longest straight). It isn’t verified on site, so the app asks you to confirm or move it before timing your first session here.
How do I find track days at Kansas Speedway?
Clubs and organizers list HPDE, track days and club races on MotorsportReg. The venue’s own calendar (also linked) lists its events too. TRACK doesn’t list events itself.
Where can I stay near Kansas Speedway?
This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Kansas Speedway from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
