The North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR) isn’t just a testing facility—it’s where innovation thrives. Spanning 620 acres near Roanoke Rapids in Garysburg, NC, NCCAR is the ultimate hub for cutting-edge automotive development and testing, designed to support the industry’s evolution.

Why NCCAR Stands Out:

• Exceptional Testing Facilities: From the two-mile bi-directional road course to the expansive Vehicle Dynamics Area (VDA), every feature is built for precision and performance.
• Off-Road Excellence: The seven-acre dirt facility and trails provide rugged testing environments for suspension, chassis durability, and more.
• Collaborative R&D: Partnerships with North Carolina universities and colleges foster groundbreaking advancements by blending industry expertise with state resources.

Whether you’re fine-tuning a vehicle’s handling or pushing the limits of performance, NCCAR offers the tools, space, and expertise to turn ideas into breakthroughs. Let NCCAR be the proving ground for your next big innovation!
