Wet Test Track
Explore Limits
Varying road surfaces and weather conditions greatly impact how a vehicle interacts with its driver and surroundings. The Wet Test Track delivers four distinct surface types to test maneuverability in unpredictable weather. Each surface has an irrigated lane to replicate the effects of wet weather on vehicle performance and all are ideal for ABS development and testing, wet braking, stopping distancing, and tire evaluation. The two tile pavement tracks are 500 ft long by 13.60 ft wide while the steel plate and asphalt concrete tracks are both 500 ft long by 15 ft wide.
