Fall is a magical time to drive at Lime Rock Park
Sep 20, 2018

It can be easily argued that Connecticut’s Lime Rock Park is the most significantly historic road racing circuit in North America. Opened in 1957, Lime Rock’s circuit remains exactly the same as when it opened in spring of that year. The 1.50 mile circuit is deceivingly simple but immensely challenging.
It was Lime Rock Park that hosted the race that forever changed the face of motorsports in America, the 1959 Formula Libre event. The best pros and the best amateurs in the best cars went head-to-head. Indy 500 winner Roger Ward won that contest in a midget, besting F1 cars and world championship sports cars and drivers. Thanks to Lime Rock and the Formula Libre event, road racing became a significant element of the American sporting scene.
