“…It’s a privilege to be asked how I feel about this place… because the facilities, the people who run it and the security staff are all top notch. I have never seen anything so well put together… It’s a great circuit. I just can’t say enough about Miller Motorsports Park. This place speaks volumes when you look around this great track…”
— Nigel Mansell, FI World Champion and IndyCar Champion
“…This is probably my favorite track in the whole series… this is more of a proper race track… It’s a pleasure to ride around… Miller Motorsports Park is the best race track in America…”
— Neil Hodgson, World Superbike Champion
“…I love it… its fantastic…”
— Mad Mladin, Multiple AMA National Motorcycle Champion
“…I have to say it’s a world class facility… I have been to a lot of racetracks in the world, in Europe, Asia and south America and certainly this racetrack is one of the best I have ever come across…”
— Gil de Ferran, Indy 500 winner, IndyCar Champion and Honda F1 Team manager
“…I love it… It’s one of those tracks that just naturally feels very good to me. I love the flow of it, I love the challenges and I love the high speed corners, which are pretty rare these days. I think it has a really good mixture, and I can’t wait to come back…”
— Scott Sharp, Trans-Am Champion and ALMS Driver
“…Miller Motorsports Park is one of racings surreal tracks… It is a cracker of a modern track, with corners galore and a couple of very good ones to boot…”
— Gary Watkins, Autosport
“…This (the Clubhouse to Main Straight Section) is the complex that shows the technical challenge that Miller Motorsports Park is. That section reminds me of how much thought and experience plays into the design by Alan Wilson and his team. To create a section that’s fast and flowing but still ultra technical and difficult is a compromise that’s hard to find. It’s just a great design…”
— Patrick Long, Porsche Factory Driver
“…Miller Motorsports Park is going to be the new benchmark against which all race facilities in America are going to be judged, and with such a strong emphasis on safety, family and fun, it can only benefit the sport of motor racing, be it on two wheels or four…”
— Neale Bayly Moto, Euro Magazine
“ I really love the track… I think it’s a brilliantly designed circuit. You feel from driving it that someone really intelligent has designed it. It’s all about keeping momentum… it’s really quite technical but very satisfying…”
— Lord Paul Drayson, Aston Martin driver and British Member of Parliament

Alan Wilson
“…Mr. Wilson is the acknowledged pre-eminent
designer of tracks today, building in safety features,
like the run-off areas at Barber, that look like sand
traps on a golf course, and mixing curves. Straights,
angles and flats to challenge drivers… I would
say he is the Robert Trent Jones of tracks.”
— Phil Patton, The New
York Times
“…If the AMA hasn’t already bestowed
track designer and Miller GM with every award they can
possible think of, they better get on it…”
— Dean Adams, Editor
Superbike Planet.com
"…Alan Wilson, the world's most prolific
race track designer…"
— Automobile magazine
"…Wilson may be the country’s premier
professional racing facility designer… Safety
is a very big concern to Wilson. He specifies runoff
areas and gravel traps instead of barriers everywhere
possible, and insists every runoff be as smooth as a
golf course fairway to reduce the chance of rollover…" Another
characteristic of a Wilson track is an empty infield,
which saves the expense of bridges or tunnels as well
as simplifying the infrastructure…"
— ARTIST OF THE APEX,
Pete Lyons, Autoweek.
“…Having Alan Wilson’s guidance has
saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in building
and operating MPH. From better insurance rates to efficient
designs. He’s always available to answer questions
even after the sale…”
— George Anderson, Owner,
Motorsports Park Hastings
“…Vancouver was designed without the advice
of Alan Wilson. This was a mistake – it is not
a very good circuit. Perhaps next year they will hire
Mr. Wilson and have a good circuit…”
— Carroll Smith
“…St Petersburg, is badly designed. Once
more they did not hire Alan Wilson, the only man in this
country who knows how to design circuits properly…”
— Carroll Smith
“…Each road course has a unique personality.
Wilson approaches projects with the concept of an artist,
shaping and reshaping the twists and turns until he is
finally satisfied with the entire course…”
— John Gilbert, Minneapolis
Star Tribune.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway
"…I gotta be honest,
I love this track. I really dig it. I am elated with
it. (Track designer) Alan Wilson has done a magnificent
job with this race track - it's totally bitchin', it's
safe and it's challenging. There are high speed left
hand corners we never see on any of the other tracks
we go to. I can get the bike to do such beautiful drifts
through there, just smooth controlled drifts that you
can control with the steering. This place, as far as
I am concerned, is the new standard, it's the full
package…"

Barber Motorsports Park
“…probably the best new race track in the world…”
— Bike Magazine
“…the best facility in the whole world, and I mean that sincerely…“
— Ben Bostrom, World Superbike rider and AMA Champion
“…When it comes to facilities, presentation and ambience, Barber Motorsports Park sets the standard by which most other tracks will be judged. And it’s one hell of a thrill to drive…”
— Burt Levy, Vintage Motorsport Magazine
“…The Barber track is unbelievably great, the pavement, the curbs, grass, sculptures, staff, all are first class. But the layout is the best part. A roller coaster of uphills, drops, camber changes and blind corners. Totally cool and challenging. I never road such an exciting track, and that includes some of the best in the world, not just the United States…”
— Rich Oliver, Multiple 250cc National Motorcycle Champion
“…Its precision driving here. It’s a truly fabulous course…”
– Hurley Haywood, Multiple Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona sports car winner
"…The new track is being
built on a scale I had scarcely imagined. It's a beautiful,
wide, 2.4 mile circuit, that sweeps up-and downhill
in a natural amphitheater setting amid the pines, but
with large grassy run-off areas, full landscaping with
shrubs and flowers, huge paved paddock areas, a large
lake and numerous access roads to hillside seating.
When it's done, it should look like a well-groomed
combination of Watkins Glen and the Salzburgring in
Austria ... my own feeling is that it's going to be
one of the most beautiful racetracks in North America.
Maybe the most beautiful…"
— Peter Egan, Road and Track Magazine
“…People who have been around racing all
their lives will be in for a real surprise. Make that
a shock. They will need a few days to take it all in.
I’ve seen racetracks being built and renovated,
but this place is in a league all of its own.”
— Jack Baldwin, Porsche
Panorama
“…Construction began
three years ago. Barber signed up renowned racetrack
designer Alan Wilson to create a course that would attract
the world’s
top motorcycle and car racing series…The
overall attention to detail at Barber Motorsports Park
simply boggles the mind. Barber is one of those places
you have to see to believe…”

Le Circuit Mont Tremblant
Total Circuit Re-Design and Reconstruction
“…Alan’s brief was to make the place safe, but also to keep the hallenge and the charm and character of the original track. He did a masterful job… The result is one of the most scenic, most fluid, best groomed but also most difficult circuits you will ever find…”
— Burt Levy, Vintage Motorsport Magazine
…it's really a stunning
track. I'm never going to race in Europe ever again
because they spoil the track by putting in those second
gear chicanes everywhere. Here they have proper corners.
It's amazing. We have fifth and sixth gear corners;
hammering around the corners. It's great!"
— Andy Wallace, Winner Le Mans 24 Hour race
"…Tremblant is a beautiful
race track set in a spectacular mountain setting..They
have done a fantastic job in the run-off areas and
gravel traps and it looks to be not only fast but a
safe place to really push a car…"
— Mark Craig, Grand-Am Cup Driver

Beaverun Motorsports Complex
“…it is just 1.53 miles in length but it packs an awful lot of challenge and adventure into such a short distance. Typical of an Alan Wilson layout it features lots of runoff room along with some testing and even slightly devilish corner sequences…”
— Burt Levy, Vintage Motorsport Magazine
"…It's fantastic. It's
one of the best laid-out tracks I've ever ridden on,
and that's saying a lot. The course's twelve turns
have a pleasant, easy-read flow to them and the kinked
straight-aways make for extremely fast racing… They've
created a world class facility here, and I'm really
impressed with how they've addressed the safety issues
by moving the guardrails and positioning the tire walls
well out of the motorcycle impact zone if you crash.
It's pretty excellent…"
— Mike Himmelsbach, Motorcycle Champion, Roadracingworld
Magazine
“…This place is truly a proper version of a real race car track, as Alan Wilson had intended. The track has a fantastic combination of high speed elements that flow very nicely and very challenging technical areas that allow the highly skilled driver show off their worth, yet allow the beginner to have fun…BeaveRun is easily my favorite…”
— Karting Magazine
“…This karting circuit, if it isn’t
the best in America, is in the top three or four…This is the level of quality we’re
looking for in our series because for us to produce the
best young talent, we have to race on the best circuits.
Technically, this is a very difficult circuit for these
participants. A lot of the corners are very demanding,
and that’s what we’re looking for. As a competitor,
you love going to facilities that are done right the
first time. This facility is being done that way.”

“…The first truly successful Country Club race facility in North America – a model for the future…”

“…We should have an AMA National here!” said
Kennedraggers.com Yamaha’s Matt Wait. “I
love this place. It’s the closest thing I’ve
ridden here in the States to a GP track, as far as grip,
width, corners that require corner speed, double-apex
corners, it flows and there’s tons of run-off room.”

Carolina Motorsports Park
"…We picked Alan Wilson as our designer after debating and deciding that we even needed one. We knew we had to have SCCA approval of the track for safety, so it was best to design that in up front rather than after the fact. As it's turned out, he's saved us what we paid him many times over in picking the right vendors and the right layout…"
— Bob Humphreys, Track Owner, Racer Magazine
"…I think Alan has a good vision that what the country needs is tracks that work economically at the hobby level and can host one or two pro events a year. That will build a grassroots road racing wave like there is with the circle track guys. Hopefully, our track is another step in that direction…"
