Ā Letter From the CEOĀ 

Welcome to the NOLA SpeedTour!

The NOLA SpeedTour has brought together a stellar group road racing icons. Porsche, Mustang, Camaro, Ligier and Corvette are just a few of the famous name plates youā€™ll see on the track and admire in the paddock this weekend.

We invite you, your friends and family to enjoy the various series that are racing: Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli, FR Americas, SVRA vintage racers and JSF4.

Saturday’s Hagerty Cars and Caffeine Car Show is rich with displays of everything from immaculate Corvettes, to pristine modern Exotics, to deliberately-funky Hot Rods.

The NOLA SpeedTour offers something for everyone! Whether youā€™re an admirer of Formula race cars, collecting autographs or enjoy the sound of 850 hp Trans Am cars as they accelerate into Turn 1, your visit is sure to be memorable.Ā 

 

On behalf of myself and my entire team, we are honored to have the opportunity to present this event. I am thrilled to welcome fans and their families to this event. Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Best Regards,

Tony Parella
