Riverside International Raceway, simply known as Riverside, was an American racing facility, located near the city of Riverside, California, USA. Having been one of the first purpose-built tracks for road racing in the western US, Riverside was used to host the 1960 United States Grand Prix, replacing the airport circuit at Sebring. However, like Sebring, Riverside failed to draw popular support or financial success, despite the teams and drivers enjoying the fast, flowing layout.

  • Riverside International Raceway, simply known as Riverside, was an American racing facility, located near the city of Riverside, California, USA. Having been one of the first purpose-built tracks for road racing in the western US, Riverside was used to host the 1960 United States Grand Prix, replacing the airport circuit at Sebring. However, like Sebring, Riverside failed to draw popular support or financial success, despite the teams and drivers enjoying the fast, flowing layout. From 1961, the United States Grand Prix found a permanent home at Watkins Glen in New York State. Racing would return to California in 1976, when the United States Grand Prix West was staged at Long Beach, 80 miles away.
  • Riverside International Raceway (Sometimes known as RIR or Riverside Raceway) was a race track or road course in Riverside, California. A driver died during the first weekend after the opening and several more drivers perished while the track was in operation from 1957 to 1989. The track was built to accommodate several different races. By closing off certain sections of the track, the route drivers had to follow could be altered. The three options on the Riverside Raceway were the long course (3.27 miles), the short course (2.5 miles), and the NASCAR (2.5 Mi.) course. The original racetrack had a 1.1 mile backstretch from 1957 to 1968. When the track was redesigned in 1969, turn 9 was made wide and a dogleg was added.
