Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (Normal & Chicane version)

The Sports Car Club of America held its national championships, The Runoffs, here on the non-chicane version from the 1970's to sometime in mid-2000 when they moved to Topeka.

Lots of elevation changes in 7-8-9.

I raced there in a Datsun 510 and it was a great race course. So I'm all for this one.

I did a track day there, it's a fantastic course. It's sometimes referred to as "The most competitive course in the US."

I was there for the AMA vintage days last year and i might have accidentally took a Honda cub around the track

Racing drivers from around the world rave about this track. The elevation changes alone should get PD's attention.

Ohio!

Agreed, truly a world class course! Hoping to do another track day there with the SCCA late this summer.

Can I just join SCCA and bring my mr2? No roll-cage required? I'd love to turn a few laps in on this world-class circuit.

It would be nice to see a track from the states that isn't either an oval or in california

If it's a hardtop, you're golden. If it's a spyder, they will do the "broom handle" test, where they stick a broomhandle behind your seat, and as long as your factory roolbar is above the broom, you're good. Go for it!

I love racing on this track with GTR2 and rFactor, it would be an awesome add-on for GT6.

Track would be good for a wide variety of things. I can't help but think it would be awesome for Photomode. It would be great for touring cars and LMPs race here too. It would also count as another NASCAR track as the Nationwide cars run here too. As far as adding this goes it will pretty much get you the use of Road America. Its pretty much a more technical, slightly shorter version of Road America.

Heading there this summer for a PDX trackday.

This track would be a big hit for PD's fanbase, american and worldwide.

Just watched this past weekend's Indy Car race here and it looked like a great track.

I know this post is long dormant but just wanted to add my support for Mid-Ohio. It has immense real-world prestige and racing pedigree.

Built in 1962 by Les Griebling for sports car racing, it’s hosted elite series for decades: NTT IndyCar (since 1980, annual event), IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (since 2018), ARCA Menards, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, SVRA SpeedTour, and more. Its 2025 schedule alone includes the 43rd Permco Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio.

Forza already has it, time for Gran Turismo to catch up!
