This weekend, Lime Rock Park will roar to life as the Connecticut track is set to celebrate Ford as the honored marque for Historic Festival 42 (Aug. 30-Sept. 2). The five-day celebration will not only commemorate the 60th anniversary of one of the most iconic and enduring muscle cars in automotive history, the Ford Mustang, but also pay homage to the significant contribution Ford has made to automotive innovation.

But, what if you want to completely immerse yourself in everything that is Historic Festival? The event itself has grown and so has the number of things to do around the track that will keep fans busy for the entire five-days of the Festival. The Lime Rock Park staff has chosen 15 (Non-Racing) Things to Do while you’re here- most of which are included with a General Admission ticket.

After over 10 years of racing and spectating at Lime Rock Park, Autodromo founder Bradley Price can safely call us his home track. That’s why we’re more than happy to announce Autodromo as the Official Watch Partner of Historic Festival 42 for the third year in a row.

This year, we’ve teamed up with Autodromo for our first-ever watch collab, the Lime Rock Park Edition Prototipo Chronograph. Limited to just 125 units, this special edition watch commemorates our multi-year partnership with Autodromo.

The dial is called Litchfield Mist, after the color of the mist that frequently enrobes Lime Rock Park and its environment in the mornings. In addition to the tasteful red track map logo at 6 o’clock, Autodromo has designed the watch with a track day at Lime Rock Park in mind:

• The Tachymeter scale is calibrated to the length of Lime Rock Park. That means as soon as you time a lap, the average speed is automatically indicated on the outer ring.

• The upper half of the dial calls out seconds from :45 to 1:15 which covers the typical range of lap times at this short circuit.

• & A little easter egg for the Lime Rock faithful – the 18h00 marking on the right subdial is in red, to remind you of our strict policy of no race engines running after 6pm.
