Purple Sector
Morgan Park Raceway, turn by turn
Morgan Park Raceway Circuit K and Circuit J, turn by turn: each turn's direction, shape and spacing, measured on Purple Sector's mapped route.
Morgan Park Raceway’s operator map shows 11 layouts, and this guide covers the two longest, both raced clockwise. Circuit K is 2,975 m with 12 numbered turns, and it is the layout race meetings at Morgan Park typically use. Circuit J is 3,050 m: it shares Turns 1 to 7 with Circuit K, adds a loop of three bends the map leaves without numbers, then runs Turns 9 to 12. Each turn below has its direction, its shape from Purple Sector’s mapped geometry, and how far it sits from the turns either side.
