Pittsburgh International Race Complex (commonly known asPitt Race) was an auto racing road course located inWampum, Pennsylvania. Pitt Race hosted amateur and professional automobile, motorcycle, and karting events.
Pittsburgh International Race Complex offers three track configurations. The North track configuration is 1.600 mi (2.575 km) and the South track covers 1.200 mi (1.931 km). The full course is 2.780 mi (4.474 km) in length and combines both the North and South track. All tracks feature significant elevation change throughout and were designed to follow the natural terrain. Pitt Race hosts many different sports car series such asSCCA andNASA, as well as holding track days and open tests for both cars and motorcycles such asN2 Track Days.[1] Since 2017, the track has been host of theMotoAmerica Championship[2] The Tracks hosts a FIM Grade 1 License.[citation needed]
The track also runs a program called Total Vehicle Control (TVC). It provides instruction in situational awareness, driving dynamics, skid control, emergency braking, and accident avoidance techniques. The program is targeted at commercial and emergency vehicle drivers as well as individuals.[3]
The 0.82 mi (1.32 km) kart track was designed byAlan Wilson. It plays host to several major kart series including WKA and USPKS as well as featuring 9.5 hp rental karts.[4]
The idea for the track came from two area attorneys, who attracted local investors to assist in the funding for the facility.[5] The track broke ground in December 2001. It officially opened on July 1, 2002, as BeaveRun Motorsports Complex.[4] It included a 1.600 mi (2.575 km) road course, a 0.82 mi (1.32 km)kart track, and a six-acreskidpad used for driver training andautocross.[4] In 2004, work began on a one-mile addition to the main track with trees being cleared and plans drawn up, but the project was put on hold in 2006.[6] A 12,000 square-foot event center overlooking the North Track was also constructed at this time.[7]
In 2011, the track was bought by Jim and Kathy Stout, and re-branded as "Pittsburgh International Race Complex." A three-stage renovation of the facility began soon after. The South Track addition, which added 1.200 mi (1.931 km) of track, was the largest update to the facility and was completed in 2015. It can be run as its own circuit or run combined with the North Track. An expanded Vehicle Dynamics Area was also part of the facility renovations. Both the North and South Tracks were repaved in 2017. A new timing and scoring building, located on pit lane of the north track, was also completed in 2017.[8]
On Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, the track’s owners, Jim and Kathy Stout announced that they had sold the property and would be stepping away from ownership. The circuit will be closed after November 2025.[9][10][11]
