Buttonwillow Raceway Park

Buttonwillow, California · 4.93 km · 3.06 mi · clockwise

Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Buttonwillow, California is a 4,950 m (3.08 mi) clockwise circuit with 13 numbered corners and almost no vertical relief: the simulated elevation band spans just 77 m to 78.1 m, a total gain of 1.6 m. The speed profile splits the lap into two distinct halves. The fast side runs through Turn 2 and Turn 13 (Riverside), where the model carries minimums of 120 km/h (75 mph) and 138 km/h (86 mph) respectively, with Riverside entered at 181 km/h (112 mph) on the supersport-600 estimate. The slow side is the Turn 4 through Turn 7 complex — Pacific, Bus Stop, Atlantic — where simulated minimums collapse to roughly 31-45 km/h (19-28 mph) through Bus Stop and Atlantic, the tightest points on the lap. Simulated lap times run 117.3 s (liter bike) to 124.8 s (middleweight twin); all figures are physics-simulation estimates.

The lap opens with a 150 m right-hander built around a 31.2 m effective radius. In the supersport-600 simulation the model begins braking 165 m before the corner, arriving at 115 km/h (71 mph) and bottoming out at a 69 km/h (43 mph) minimum before climbing back to 104 km/h (65 mph) on exit. The braking distance is the clearest class differentiator here: the liter-bike estimate starts slowing 225 m out, while the middleweight twin needs only 114 m. Minimum speed is identical across all three classes — the corner radius, not power, sets the floor. All figures are simulation estimates.

Sunset is a 180 m left-hander on an 80.7 m effective radius, and the model treats it as a classic medium-speed corner: brake, rotate, drive. The supersport-600 estimate starts braking 117 m out, enters at 139 km/h (86 mph), holds a 111 km/h (69 mph) minimum, and exits at 144 km/h (89 mph), slightly up on its arrival speed — a mildly exit-biased speed trace. Class differences again show up only in brake-application distance: 141 m for the liter bike against 90 m for the twin, with all three bikes sharing the identical 111 km/h grip-limited floor. These are physics-simulation estimates, not measured data.

Riverside closes the lap with one of its fastest corner entries. A 249 m right-hand arc on a 125.6 m effective radius, it carries the highest simulated entry speed on the circuit: 181 km/h (112 mph) in the supersport-600 estimate, with braking beginning 114 m out (153 m for the liter bike, 63 m for the twin). The model holds a 138 km/h (86 mph) minimum — faster than the entry speed of half the corners on this track — and releases onto the front straight at 168 km/h (104 mph), setting up the braking event into Star Mazda Turn that begins the next lap. Elevation change is negligible at 0.1 m. All speeds and distances are physics-simulation estimates.
