02Overview

What MSR Cresson is like to drive.

The full circuit layout at MSR Cresson is 3.05 miles with 27 corners worth setting up for and about 72 ft of elevation change. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 22 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 34% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 837 ft.

10 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. Some apexes sit on crests, where the car goes light. The corner notes below come from the mapped geometry, not from local knowledge; we’ll add a researched guide for MSR Cresson later.

Model speed (generic track-day car)Elevation · USGS 3DEP

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 MSR Cresson.

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 59°, tightening to a radius of roughly 23 m (75 ft). The model car brakes for about 30 m (98 ft), from 55 to 42 mph. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes an apex close to the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

FAQ

MSR Cresson, answered.

How long is MSR Cresson?

OpenStreetMap maps 3 closed loops at Motorsport Ranch Cresson, from 1.33 mi to 3.05 mi (4.91 km). These are mapped centerline lengths; the venue’s published figures can differ slightly.

How much elevation change is there at MSR Cresson?

About 72 ft (22 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 7%.

Which direction does MSR Cresson 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 MSR Cresson with my phone?

Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises MSR Cresson 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 MSR Cresson?

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 MSR Cresson?

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 MSR Cresson?

This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near MSR Cresson from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
