It is hard to find anyone in the American Le Mans Series paddock who isn’t enamored with Miller Motorsports Park. From the appearance of the facility and scenery to the 3,500-foot straightaway and 24-turn, 4.5-mile circuit, praises have been flowing in advance of this year’s Utah Grand Prix for the Series’ second visit to Miller following a terrific inaugural showing last year. What do drivers like best about the track and what’s the best way to attack it? Here are their answers.
Bill Auberlen, Panoz Team PTG
“The high altitude is tricky because your motor makes a lot less horsepower. The key thing is to dyno the motor at altitude. Make the setup stiffer. It’s a road course. It’s flat and fast. We’ll change the setup and aerodynamic balance. “
Allan McNish, Audi Sport North America
“The circuit I found to be fantastic. The facility was top-notch. It was as good as any facility, not just in North America, but in the world. The corners are varied and there are a lot of them. So it’s tricky to get a rhythm and a feel. “
