GET ON TRACK
Lime Rock Park isn’t just for the pros. We offer a variety of ways to get on track in your own car (or a rental) throughout the year.
Getting on track at Lime Rock Park is easier than it sounds. Select a program below, which can be entered with your own car.
I’ve never been on track before – what should I do?
For first timers, we’d recommend our Track Tapas or Autocross Lapping Day program listed below. These programs take place on the FCP Euro Proving Grounds in our infield. The FCP Euro Proving Grounds are a half-mile permanently paved autocross course with plenty of runoff to allow you to explore your limits. Scroll below to learn more.
Getting on the Road Course
Once you’ve run one of those programs & get hooked like the rest of us, there are plenty of options to get out on Lime Rock Park’s main 1.5-mile road circuit. High Performance Driver Education (HPDE), commonly referred to as a “track day”, is your next step. Lime Rock Park’s new Intro to Racing program is the perfect environment to learn track driving in a safe environment, complete with professional instructors. Once you’ve completed that, contact the Lime Rock Drivers Club to schedule your first track day. Each Lime Rock Drivers Club track day comes with a professional instructor, catered hospitality, and camaraderie unlike any club you’ve been a part of before.
In addition to the Lime Rock Drivers Club, there are a plethora of options to get on track for HPDE. Sports Car Driving Association frequently hosts HPDE events throughout our summer months. If you’d like to be amongst like-minded brand enthusiasts, marque clubs like Porsche Club of America and BMW CCA host track days throughout the summer. Take a look at the Track Calendar for all of your options.
How do I get a Racing License?
The Lime Rock Drivers Club is an officially sanctioned SCCA Race Driving School. Utilizing a professional coach sitting right seat in your car, LRDC’s Race Driving School accelerates students proficiency to a much higher level in a shorter time frame. After completing LRDC’s two day program, approved drivers will receive credit for their SCCA Driver School and one event on their SCCA Novice Permit. Click here to learn more!

HPDE – Lime Rock Drivers Club
Today’s high-end sports cars are so good, so capable, there is simply no way to explore their limits on the street. Owners of such cars find it awfully hard to resist the opportunity to drive them as they’re meant to be driven. And almost equally importantly, when they want to. That’s what the Lime Rock Drivers Club is all about. Click the link below to learn more scheduling a track day with the Lime Rock Drivers Club.
