The concept was simple…pick the top drivers from each discipline in motorsports—NASCAR, USAC, Sports Cars, Formula 1—and let them race each other in identical cars. That would theoretically prove once and for all—or at least on any given day—which racing group attracted the best drivers.Â
  Letter From the CEOÂ
Thank you for joining us for the Lime Rock SpeedTour. Â Since 1957, Lime Rock Park has been hosting some of the greatest racing series, automotive technology and competitors in the world. Â
This is SpeedTour’s second trip to Lime Rock Park in 2024 and this time we’re hosting our first SpeedTour All-Star Race.  Our team has brought together a star-studded group of motorsports icons from Formula 1, NASCAR, INDYCAR, Sports Cars and IMSA, pairing them with current stars of the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli and SVRA’s TA2 Club for a 60-minute race.Â
In addition, the International Race Of Champions (IROC) returns to the track for the first time in 20 years with racing exhibitions and a robust display showcasing the incredible history of the legendary IROC series. Also, SVRA brings a variety of vintage road racing icons including legendary nameplates Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Corvette and many others to the paddock and on the track. Â Adding to the festivities, the Nissan Sentra Cup and Miata feature races are also featured.
Along with great racing, you’ll also find plenty of other trackside activities to enjoy. Take some time to test drive a Buzz Bike, meet a driver and check out vendor row. Be it learning about a unique race car, getting a rare autograph, or just spending time with the family, your visit to SpeedTour is sure to be memorable. I’m thrilled to welcome drivers, fans and enthusiasts of all ages to the Lime Rock SpeedTour.Â
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Let’s go racing!
