Atlanta Motorsports Park Open Track Day on Friday October 25, 2024
Limited to 100 entries. This event will sell out, so sign up early to be sure you have a spot!
On Friday, October 25, 2024, Atlanta Motorsports Park and Discovery Parts are offering an open-lapping track day for advanced drivers. The pits and full main track at AMP will be open for advanced drivers only. There will not be any run groups, so you can run laps to your heart's content.
This open track day is on the Friday before the Champ Car Race, which takes place on Saturday, October 26, and Sunday, October 27. The AMP/Discovery Parts open lapping day is the perfect opportunity for last-minute testing, car shake-down, AMP track orientation/familiarization, etc.
Atlanta Motorsports Park Open Track Day Details
You do not need to race in the Champ Car event in order to drive during the open-lapping track day on October 25. However, this open track day is for drivers with at least four (4) weekends of race track driving experience. If, for example, you're an HPDE instructor, usually juggling new drivers and rarely getting to drive your own car, this is the day you have been waiting for!
This event is for experienced and advanced drivers only. No drivers with fewer than four (4) weekend track events under your belt will be allowed to drive on track.
