Watkins Glen International
Racing Circuit · Watkins Glen, New York
A 3.4-mile road course in the hills above Seneca Lake, built in 1956 after racing on the public streets of Watkins Glen village became untenable following a spectator death. It held the FORMULA ONE UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX from 1961 to 1980 and is one of the few American circuits drivers describe with genuine affection — fast, undulating, and unforgiving in a way modern circuits are not.
2790 County Route 16, Watkins Glen, New York, 14891, United States
⚠ SEASONAL AND EVENT-DRIVEN.
