The verdict

MSR Houston is the Gulf Coast's members-focused road course: 2.38 miles and 17 turns on a flat coastal site, with member garages ranging from a single car space to custom buildings. It is a driver's facility rather than a luxury resort, and the technical layout makes it a genuinely good place to develop skill.

Best forHouston-area drivers focused on lap-time development and race prep.

“This session was better today than any yesterday. We had a dry track so I could push it a bit… I actually hit a particularly tough part of the track perfectly a couple of times”
