The “Miller Motorsports Park” is one of the most modern racetracks in North America. The circuit was opened in 2006 and has welcomed the Superbike World Championship each year since 2008. The capital of the US state of Utah, Salt Lake City, is just a 30-minute drive away. The “Miller Motorsports Park” includes the 4.907-kilometre racetrack, the “Performance Training Center”, where fans can hone their driving skills, and the “Larry H. Miller Museum”, which contains a collection of some of the most spectacular motorsport vehicles in the world. The setting is also breath-taking: the facility is surrounded by Utah’s mountains, which can still be snowcapped at the end of May. The US round of the Superbike World Championship is traditionally held on the last Monday in May – “Memorial Day”. On this national holiday, the people of the United States remember the soldiers who fell in war. For this reason, the schedule is always moved back a day: the first free practice starts on Saturday, while the race itself is held on the Monday.
The “Miller Motorsports Park” is located about 1,350 metres above sea level. At this altitude, the engine power of the BMW S 1000 RR is an important factor. The layout of the circuit is technically very demanding. The bike must be able to react well to the many changes in direction. The track has 24 turns, more than any other on the Superbike World Championship calendar. Another challenge when setting the bike up is the fact that the track surface offers very little grip. The engineers must ensure the bike delivers as much mechanical grip as possible.
