Lime Rock Park

Lakeville, Connecticut

For the first time ever, GRIDLIFE visits historic Lime Rock Park! This 1.5-mile, 7-turn road course nestled in the hills of Connecticut offers abrupt elevation change, high-speed corners, and a bullring style atmosphere unique in the road course world. Built in 1956, Lime Rock Park has hosted a myriad of racing series, including IMSA, who continues to hold a Grand Prix there each year. GRIDLIFE brings the Circuit Legends festival in 2022, celebrating automotive heroes from the 1980s to early 2000s. On track action will featuring GRIDLIFE Touring Cup (GLTC), TrackBattle Time Attack, HPDE, and a special shootout-style qualifier for some of the special concours vehicles representing the golden age of motorsport. The event at Lime Rock Park will be streamed in its entirety on Friday, August 19th, and Saturday, August 20th. All GRIDLIFE driving events will be held on the 7-turn “Classic” circuit, with the fast uphill at turn 5. Reference the track map below to understand the course layout, corner stations, and paddock flow.

Important Driver Notes: GLTC

Track Limits: Vehicles must remain on the racing surface. The racing surface is defined as the asphalt area between the white lines. Lime Rock Park does not feature lots of paved runoff. The runoff and areas off track are encouraged to be used for accident avoidance, but may NOT be used to gain an advantage or make a pass. Cars that exceed track limits or end up in the grass must rejoin the racing circuit PARALLEL to the direction of travel of the course and must yield to cars on track.

Full Course Yellow Reminders: When double yellow flags are waved, begin to slow to 60-70% of race pace and follow the car in front, leaving a safe distance to react in front. The safety car will be deployed. SAFETY CAR LIGHTS ON = FOLLOW SAFETY CAR - this INCLUDES following the safety car when it enters pit lane. The ONLY time you will NOT follow the safety car is when the lights on top of the safety car are turned off. In this case, remain at safety car speed in line until the green flag is waved.

Safe Havens: If your vehicle has a major mechanical problem or is leaking fluid, look for safe havens - which are breaks in the armco or tire barriers. Pull to a safe haven to the INSIDE of a corner within view of a corner station, if possible.

Facility Entrance/Exit: Enter the racetrack from the western access road (White Hollow Road). Continue down the road to the end - TRUCKS MAY NOT USE THE BRIDGE TO ENTER THE RACETRACK - you may ONLY bring trucks and trailers across the track at the Turn 6 crossover. Enter Thursday night!

Important Driver Notes: ALL DRIVERS

Turn 5/Uphill Caution! - Cars exceeding 400 horsepower may get extremely light over the crest at turn 5. Ensure your steering wheel is straight and be especially cautious on cold tires or in damp conditions. High speeds over this crest can lead to loss of vehicle control.
