Fair Park – F1 Track Layout, Records & Winners
Where in the world
Every circuit that has hosted a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Marker size shows how many, and green marks the circuits on this year’s calendar.
Fair Park Circuit, a temporary street circuit in the Fair Park district of Dallas, Texas, hosted the one-off 1984 Dallas Grand Prix. The 3.901 km layout was infamous for its disintegrating asphalt in extreme summer heat — track surfaces broke up within laps, creating chaos and the bizarre spectacle of crews repairing the track between sessions. Keke Rosberg\'s improvised water-soaked cooling cap allowed him to win one of the most memorable F1 races of the 1980s.
