Road Atlanta Voted One of America’s Best Road Courses by Car and Driver

Car and Driver picked 6 road racing courses around the US that they say, “generally date back to a time when racetracks were supposed to have elevation changes, blind corners, and distinct personalities.” And, “In the good old days, danger was an accepted part of the deal, and we think a scintilla of fear makes for a more challenging competition venue.” That’s right, Road Atlanta was one of them!

Road Atlanta is 40 years old!

Road Atlanta was carved out of the red Georgia clay on a 750 acre Hall County plot of land in 1969. What was once a farmer’s field is now a world class motorsports facility, rich in history and tradition. For more than 40 years, Road Atlanta has been a destination location for top tier sports car and motorcycle racing, providing competitors and fans with heart pounding excitement, unforgettable experiences and life-long memories.

In 2010, to celebrate 40 years, Road Atlanta wants to give back to our loyal fans for their continued support by offering ticket discounts, contests and prizes, a Birthday celebration at Petit Le Mans including past drivers, autograph sessions, and give-aways, a new Road Atlanta historic web page (to help bring back memories) and much more!
