__Description__
This video explores the complex planning and design that transformed the heart of Chicago into a 2.2-mile race track for NASCAR's Next Gen cars. It results from a combination of cutting-edge technology, historic motorsport heritage and urban planning to create this unique racing experience. From the car itself to the layout and surface of the streets, everything contributes to making the event possible. There is another key development that also helped make this possible. Sim Racing, specifically iRacing who created a digital twin of the course to design and test conditions, ensuring the best possible layout for both racers and spectators. Chicago then made real-world changes to the streets to improve safety, performance and spectator experience, based on virtual racing data.
