GRIDLIFE ANNOUNCES NEW “CIRCUIT LEGENDS” FESTIVAL at LIME ROCK PARK FOR SUMMER ‘22.
PRI SHOW - Indianapolis, IN - 12/10/21
GRIDLIFE hosted the “State of the Grid” press conference on Friday of the 2021 PRI Show where they revealed their 2022 Competition Calendar, and announced their plans for a new festival expansion to the Northeast called “Circuit Legends” to be hosted at Lime Rock Park, scheduled for August 19-20 at the celebrated circuit in Connecticut.
Circuit Legends is a new festival concept for GRIDLIFE, who are known for their Music and Motorsports Festivals with late night concerts. The Circuit Legends concept will be a unique festival experience, in that it won’t feature musical acts, but instead celebrates motorsports culture of the Mid 80s through Mid 00s by featuring vehicles that represent “The Golden Age of touring car racing”. The goal being to resurrect all the vehicular heroes from around the world and set them loose in the hills of Lime Rock in a celebration of touring car racing.
“We see the Circuit Legends concept as ‘the concourse for us’. It’s a car culture and motorsports showcase designed for the younger generation that was brought up on Speedvision, BTCC, DTM, JTCC, etc. Rather than musical talent we are going to look to the automotive heroes as our headliners in hopes of bringing a legendary group of 80s-90s-00s racing vehicles together for this inaugural event.”
The Circuit Legends Festival is a collaboration between the GRIDLIFE and Lime Rock Park, who are producing the new event as partners. GRIDLIFE believes that combining their fresh approach to grassroots racing with the history of a legendary track like Lime Rock will result in a stand-out motorsports event that will return to the park year after year.
“We’ve been working to deliver the best experience that we can possibly create for our guests, and debuting Circuit Legends at Lime Rock Park is a truly exciting addition to our 2022 schedule. Launching Circuit Legends reflects our ambition to introduce Lime Rock Park to a new audience so opening this new chapter with GRIDLIFE is a great way to do that. The track has several long held traditions and events, and we are eager for our fans to experience this new addition to our schedule in August.”
At Circuit Legends at Lime Rock, fans will be able to see their vehicular heroes up close and at speed. On track, GRIDLIFE will bring its HPDE, TrackBattle Time Attack, the exciting wheel to wheel GRIDLIFE Touring Cup (GLTC), and a special “Legends session” where the legacy touring cars will be on track at speed in a shootout style showcase.
More details will be released in the coming months as production of Circuit Legends at Lime Rock begins.
