Lime Rock has been in continuous operation since 1957, making it one of the longest-running, historically important and authentic race tracks in America. Just 1.5-miles around, Lime Rock is a surprisingly fast “momentum” course with short straights, complex corners and exciting elevation changes. Juan Manuel Fangio II famously called Lime Rock “A mysterious riddle, a track where a perfect lap will never be driven!”
Competing at Lime Rock has been described as “a picnic in a park with cars,” since the track is cradled in a natural amphitheater formed by the Litchfield Hills. Spectators can be found frolicking on the grassy banking, but never on Sunday, since a court injunction has barred Sunday racing since 1959.

The 1000 Miglia 2021, the 39th historical re-enactment of the race of the Red Arrow, will take place from the 16th to the 19th of June.
375 cars will be admitted to the 1000 Miglia 2021: the cars accepted to the competition will be announced at the end of the selection, made by the proper Examination Committee, no later than March 9th.
Route
The 2021 competition will follow the tradition of the route, from Brescia to Rome and back, with legs in Viareggio and Bologna, but this edition will introduce an absolute novelty for the re-enactment of the 1000 Miglia: for the first time ever, the competition will take place in the opposite direction of the recent editions, taking up the counter-clockwise direction of many editions of the original speed race. From Brescia, the crews will head towards the Tyrrhenian coast and stop in Viareggio, leaving the next day for Rome. The third leg will start there, go up north and end beyond the Apennines, in Bologna. The fourth and last leg, from Bologna, will take to the traditional arrival in Brescia. A new route will lead the crews to face, for the first time, three mountain passes: Passo della Cisa in the first leg and Passi di Futa e Raticosa in the third day of the race. A new feature that will satisfy many fans of the competition.
Cars
The models eligible to take part in the 1000 Miglia are those of which at least one specimen took part – or completed the registration formalities – in one edition of the historic 1000 Miglia that was held from 1927 to 1957.

The 2021 edition of the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Mosport Park circuit’s opening in 1961, so the event will have special significance this year.
The first major race held at “Mosport” was the Player’s 200 which was run on June 24, 1961. Entries included Porsches, Lotuses, a Jag, a Corvette and assorted other race cars. Many of the same makes and models will be running at the VGP.
The featured marque for 2021 is Lotus. We hope to have a significant cross section of Lotuses entered, including both production sportscars and purpose-built racing models.

Over the past four decades, SVRA’s vintage races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course have grown into a time-honored tradition and one of the best race weekends of the year.

The 10th staging of Le Mans Classic has been a long time coming and fans will have had to wait for three years to see again the classic cars on the long circuit. Created in 2002 by Peter Auto in association with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, Le Mans Classic offers a great retrospective of the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours. In 2021, the event will include several novelties and celebrate various anniversaries.
The Le Mans Classic offers spectators and entrants equally-matched fields in terms of performance and historic pertinence. The 500 racing cars are divided up into six grids, each of which corresponds to a particular period. The cars selected are those that have taken part in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1923 and 1981. Priority is given to cars that have actually raced in the event in their particular era. For each grid, 10 reserves take part in the day and night-time practice sessions to be ready to fill a place left vacant by the withdrawal or retirement of another car. A Le Mans-type start as used between 1925 and 1969 will be given for grids 1-2-3-4. Flying starts will be used for the others.
Grids
1923-1939
1949-1956
1957-1961
1962-1965
1966-1971
