Lime Rock has hosted most of America’s highly contested race series, including Trans-Am, Formula 5000, IMSA GTP, NASCAR, USAC and some of the earliest and finest vintage races in America. Many high-profile drivers have enjoyed memorable afternoons at Lime Rock, including Paul Newman, Sam Posey, Mario Andretti, Rodger Ward, John Fitch, Mark Donohue and Dan Gurney.
Lime Rock Park has been in continuous operation since 1957, making it one of the longest-running, historically important and authentic race tracks in America. At just 1.5-miles around, the 7-turn track is a surprisingly fast “momentum” course with short straights, complex corners and exciting elevation changes. Described as “a picnic in a park with cars,” spectators can be found strolling through the paddock or relaxing on the grassy banking. But never on Sunday! A court injunction has barred Sunday racing since 1959.
