More than 200 cars set to join three-day festival of motorsport and modern car culture

LAKEVILLE, Conn. (12 August 2025)  — From roaring engines and shredding tires to off-key campground karaoke, Lime Rock Park will come alive to the sounds of a different kind of event than the legendary circuit is used to hosting during GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends Festival, August 15–17. The three-day festival blends competitive racing, car culture, lifestyle and entertainment into one of the most immersive motorsport experiences in the Northeast.

More than 200 cars across four classes will hit the track with GRIDLIFE Touring Cup (GLTC), TrackBattle Time Attack competition, the new GRIDLIFE GT (GLGT) class, the spec RUSH Series and a handpicked roster of drift drivers taking on Lime Rock Park’s famous bull ring. The event caters as much to casual fans as it does to hardcore racing enthusiasts.

GRIDLIFE is recognized as the fastest-growing, youngest paddock in the world, bringing a new wave of young drivers, builders and fans into the sport. The series has become a grassroots gateway for the next generation of motorsport, blending high-performance racing with a festival atmosphere.

“This is the fourth year for the GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends Festival and GRIDLIFE has found a way to energize the sport in a way that few others have,” said Lime Rock Park CEO Dicky Riegel. “It draws in a younger audience without losing the authenticity of racing and that’s exactly the kind of energy we want to bring to Lime Rock Park.”

And there’s just as much to see and do off track.

Saturday will showcase the GRIDLIFE X PRIME Concours, a curated, invite-only show field featuring 75 vehicles that celebrate the golden era of tuning from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s. Fans can expect to see everything from a classic Celica running a Toda motor to a widebody RWB 997, an immaculate BCNR33 Skyline and Dan Chickery’s RealTime Racing Acura Integra Type R replica, each representing a slice of motorsport-inspired car culture from an era now finding its place in the collector world.

For those not featured on the Concours, fans can still take part in the celebration with three different car corrals. The GRIDLIFE Motoring Meet presented by FCP Euro is open to all makes and models, while Subimods and Hyundai N owners can join dedicated corrals near the entrance to The Midway

Fans can also hang in the GRIDLIFE Arcade, playing vintage pinball machines, 80s and 90s arcade classics and driving simulators, all free to play with an event ticket. Campground karaoke on Saturday, late-night arcade sessions and all-weekend camping create a summer camp vibe that lasts from Friday night’s opening Sunoco Welcome Party to the FCP Euro Sunday Motoring Meet that closes out the weekend.

The FCP Euro Sunday Motoring Meet is a free community car show from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. open to all makes and models with cars lined down the Sam Posey Straight.

Advanced tickets for GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends start at $49. For more information, visit limerock.com/events/gridlife.
