Motorsports history comes to life over the Labor Day weekend at Northwest Connecticut’s fan-friendly Lime Rock Park. The four-day weekend is a highlight for the vintage and historic racing community. Many knowledgeable racing fans, keen to see many of the cars that made history at Lime Rock and elsewhere, spend the weekend watching enthusiast racers compete in cars that may be older than they are, camping at the track or staying in nearby accommodations.

With more than 250 cars participating, some nearly a century old, the weekend is a fast-moving motorsport history lesson. And while there’s so many cars competing that everyone watching from the viewing areas and touring the paddocks will likely find their favorite kind of race car, a field that’s so large also provides the opportunity to key in on several specific racing classes.

GRIDLIFE’s single-class Touring Cup series (GLTC) will debut a new racing format at its Circuit Legends event at Lime Rock Park, August 18-20. GLTC has seen field sizes grow year over year, now averaging nearly fifty per event. The pressures of large field sizes weigh most at smaller circuits, like the 1.5-mile Lime Rock Park that will hold the second annual Circuit Legends Festival next month. Last year, there were 32 entries in GLTC at Lime Rock Park; this year, there are nearly fifty entrants.
