It can be easily argued that Connecticut`s Lime Rock Park is the most significantly historic road racing circuit in North America. Only Wisconsin`s Road America and California`s Laguna Seca can compare to Lime Rock with respect to longest continuous operation – Road America opened in 1955, Laguna Seca and Lime Rock in 1957 – but only Lime Rock`s circuit remains exactly the same as when it opened in spring of that year. Lime Rock is 1.50 miles of up hill and down dale, a track that looks deceivingly simple but is immensely challenging to drive quickly. Its setting is a village in Connecticut`s Litchfield County, renowned for its vast historical, cultural and recreational resources. Lime Rock`s history is inextricably entwined with that of sports car racing`s. Almost all of the sport`s greats have raced here. Incredibly historic yet modern. Not a hint of a grandstand but tremendous spectator viewing. Fan friendly in the extreme. A beautiful venue – it is truly a park – even those who are not motorsports fans are familiar with Lime Rock Park. Under Skip Barber`s stewardship, Lime Rock has been serviced by two major, multi-million dollar renovations. The first was in 2008, when the track surface was repaved in its entirety, and a number of safety elements were brought to the latest standards. The second major renovation got underway in late 2014 – the Road to 60 Project. As Lime Rock prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2017, millions of dollars have been invested in upgrading every part of Lime Rock that`s not the racing surface itself. All-new, fully paved paddocks. All-new paddock restrooms. All-new gardens, ponds and landscaping. All-new spectator areas, and vast improvement of the existing ones. All-new walkways, spectator fencing and signage.
