New Jersey Motorsports Park — Thunderbolt (Chicane)

Millville, New Jersey · 3.50 km · 2.18 mi · clockwise

Thunderbolt is the longer road course at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey. This guide covers the Thunderbolt with Chicane layout — the 12-turn configuration in which the Turn 3 sweeper gives way to a right-left-right chicane carded 3A, 3B, 3C — run clockwise over 3,502 m (2.18 mi) and fifteen modeled corners. The circuit is nearly flat: no corner changes height by more than 2.5 m (8 ft). The chicane holds the reference line to a 96 km/h (59 mph) minimum in 3B; the slowest point is Turn 10 at 80 km/h (50 mph), the fastest the flat-out Turn 12 kink at 200 km/h (124 mph). Simulated laps run from 1:25.3 (liter bike) to 1:28.3 (middleweight twin). Every figure here is a physics-simulation estimate, not measured data.

Motorcycle track guide · simulation estimates · 2026-10-02

  • Layout: Thunderbolt with Chicane, 3,502 m (2.18 mi) modeled length, run clockwise
  • 15 modeled corners over 12 numbered turns (3A/3B/3C chicane, 11A kink): 11 right, 4 left
  • Simulated lap estimates: 1:25.3 (liter bike), 1:26.2 (supersport 600), 1:28.3 (middleweight twin)
  • Simulated average lap speed: 141–146 km/h (88–91 mph) depending on class
  • Slowest simulated point: Turn 10, 80 km/h (50 mph) at a 41.9 m effective radius, the tightest on the lap
  • Fastest simulated point: Turn 12, a flat-out kink at 200 km/h (124 mph) on the 600 and liter bike
  • Longest simulated brake zone: 183 m (600 ft) before Turn 1 on the liter bike (138 m on the 600, 99 m on the twin)
  • Chicane radii: 3A right 63.3 m, 3B left 60.1 m, 3C right 141.2 m; 3B minimum 96 km/h (59 mph)

The lap opens with a 132 m right at a 71.4 m effective radius, level within 0.1 m, and it carries the longest braking zone on the circuit: in the simulation the supersport 600 starts braking 138 m before the corner, the liter bike 183 m and the twin 99 m, all arriving at 136 km/h (84 mph). The minimum is 104 km/h (65 mph) in every class. The exit reads 138 km/h (86 mph) on the two larger bikes and 136 km/h (85 mph) on the twin — at or above the entry speed — and carries straight into Turn 2.

Turn 4 is a 114 m right at a 150.2 m effective radius, falling 0.8 m (3 ft), and the fastest braked corner on the lap. The simulation arrives at 169 km/h (105 mph) — the highest entry apart from the Turn 12 kink — and brakes 60 m out on the supersport 600, 78 m on the liter bike and 36 m on the twin, to a 151 km/h (94 mph) minimum. The exit is 159 km/h (99 mph) on the two larger bikes and 157 km/h (98 mph) on the twin, below the entry, because the brake zone for Turn 5 begins soon after.

The first left-hander of the lap and, within a fraction of Turn 10, its second-slowest point. Turn 5 bends 117 m around a 42.3 m effective radius, essentially level at −0.2 m. The simulation brakes 63 m out on the supersport 600, 66 m on the liter bike and 57 m on the twin, from a 101 km/h (63 mph) entry to an 80 km/h (50 mph) minimum. The exit is 130 km/h (80 mph) on the two larger bikes and 125 km/h (78 mph) on the twin — the biggest exit gain of any corner here — the launch onto the run to Turn 6.
