Boise State Street Circuit – Boise

When was the track built?

As part of the spirit of the new Formula 1 Organization, Idaho, the Gem State, has been selected for its history and local heritage, with Boise chosen as the site for a street‑circuit that reflects the region’s character that will host a GP from 2023, in a modern circuit, designed by me, in the downtown area.
All facilities will be temporarily built for the race.

When was its first Grand Prix?

It will be the first ever race in this venue.
It is one of the eight circuits in the West coast of the United States, which will rotate for three spots in the Continental Series.

What’s the circuit like?

It exploits the wide streets of the University campus and East Downtown areas, with its modern layout that has few 90° corners and several high-speed sections, like the winding section on Parkcenter Boulevard from T3 to T8, or the last straight between T21 and T25 leading to the tricky final braking.
Particularly interesting the fast snaking bit inside Julia Davis park, with very close barriers as cars dance following the wobbly road.
Car will look to have low downforce and good top-speed to make good use of the many overtaking spots.
Track width changes rapidly from 10m up to 26m making this track even more challenging.

Where is it located?

In the capital and most populous city of the State of Idaho, in the downtown area, crossing the river Boise twice and passing by the University, the Albertsons Stadium and Julia Davis Park. The city airport is connected with all major hubs in the country. (+ 43.602452, -116.195679)
