Autobahn's faster southern loop — 2.06 miles, 15 turns, and the highest average speeds on the property
- 2.06 mi
- 15 turns
- Opened 2004
- Joliet, Illinois
- South course
- Multiple configurations
The South Course is the longer of Autobahn Country Club's two independent loops, opened in 2004 as part of Alan Wilson's Joliet design. Run alone or linked with the North Course, it forms the back half of the 3.56-mile full configuration.
At 2.06 miles with 15 turns, the South layout carries the highest average speeds at Autobahn — roughly 79 mph in race trim — with nine right-handers and six left-handers across a 40-foot-wide surface. The main straight stretches about 1,850 feet, long enough for drafting and late braking on HPDE weekends.
The South Course is a popular choice for club racing and track-day groups that want a fast, flowing lap without committing to the full 3.56-mile circuit. When the North Course is running a separate event, the South loop can still be open for members and renters.
Notable features
- Main straight: Roughly 1,850 feet of full-throttle running — the longest straight on the South Course and a prime passing zone.
- Fifteen-turn flow: Linked corners reward smooth inputs and early throttle; the lap feels fast even in moderate horsepower cars.
- Highest average speed: Of Autobahn's three configurations, the South Course carries the highest average speed — horsepower helps here.
- Full-circuit back half: When the loops are linked, the South Course makes up the faster, more open second half of the 3.56-mile lap.
- Independent operation: Can run at the same time as the North Course, keeping the facility flexible for multiple groups on one weekend.
