South Tortuous Road
The South Tortuous Road is a 3.9 mile asphalt roadway, 24 feet wide with a 2 foot apron on each side. All of the rough events are in the right lane. Three special events are included in the road surface: a series of suspension lifts, uni-body twists, and a series of bumps simulating a series of 50 consecutive railroad track crossings.
Suspension, body, drive train, brake, low fuel drivability, and oil starvation test are typical of the tests conducted on South Tortuous Road.
