Atlanta Motorsports Park - For Those With Refined Taste

Atlanta Motorsports Park is a first-class racing venue located in the mountains in the North Georgia, around 100 km to the north from Atlanta.

Designed by Hermann Tilke

First of all, don’t confuse this circuit with Road Atlanta, home of well-known Petit Le Mans race, and with Atlanta Motor Speedway, one of the most important race tracks of the NASCAR Series. Atlanta Motorsports Park is a new venue, opened in 2013, and built mainly for club racing, even after being constructed by the famous German architect Hermann Tilke who was responsible for the most of the Formula 1 modern race tracks.

Atlanta Motorsports Park is not an ordinary motorsports venue

Wealthy businessman and keen amateur racer Jeremy W. Porter had an idea of constructing perfect racing venue with luxury facilities. His aim was to have a track inspired by some famous European circuits, with Spa and Nurburgring at the first place. Tilke implemented Eau Rouge/Raidillion section from Spa and the Nürburgring’s Carousel, as well as part of the Motorland Aragon, the circuit in Spain, designed by himself a couple of years earlier.

Challenging layout

The result is 3.2186 km long track with 16 turns and several aggressive elevation changes what makes this circuit even more technically demanding. The layout of the circuit can be configured in several different ways and can host up to three simultaneous events. The first race held at Atlanta Motorsports Park was the ChumpCar World Series race in November of 2013, an endurance championship for amateur drivers in amateur racing cars.
