A New Must-Do Experience for Thrill-Seekers in Litchfield County

LAKEVILLE, Conn. (26 March 2025) – Nestled in the rolling hills of Litchfield County, Lime Rock Park has long been a sanctuary for motorsport enthusiasts. Now in 2025, a brand-new adrenaline rush is set to hit the track as Lime Rock Park rolls out its new Kart the Park program, an arrive-and-drive karting experience that delivers high-speed excitement for drivers of all skill levels.

Powered by Housatonic Racing Development (HRD), Kart the Park will launch this spring offering both adults and children (eight and older) the chance to take the wheel, choosing from two different configurations on the FCP Euro Proving Grounds—a half-mile circuit known for its tight turns, elevation changes and fast-paced action.

As a part of HF43’s Sunday in the Park festivities, The Lime Rock Concours will again offer a distinguished lineup of beautiful and significant cars across multiple groups that will all vie for Class Awards, Special Awards and the coveted Best-in-Show Awards.

In addition to prewar, postwar and competition Triumphs reflecting this year’s honored racing marque, the 2025 Concours will highlight several marques or milestones of particular interest. For example, the storied history of Ferrari’s classic V-12 powered GTs will be on display, including a rare 250 GT Berlinetta SWB. Also honored will be Giorgetto Giugiaro’s decades-long contribution to automotive design, headlined by the mid-engine BMW M1. This year’s event will also catalog the timeless beauty and sophistication of Stutz automobiles, as well as spectacular examples of the classic Porsche 356. Important anniversaries to be commemorated include the 120th anniversary of Rolls Royce.

Other classes will celebrate the Hemi engine’s important contribution to Chrysler’s performance image as well as the inventive early days of postwar American sports cars, including some rarely seen designs. Additional classes will cover pre- and postwar American and European cars along with our always surprising Preservation class.

In addition to honoring Triumph cars, the Concours will also feature Triumph motorcycles, as well as a motorcycle class devoted to the especially impressive multi-cylinder, high-performance bikes of the 1970s and 1980s.

Entries are open now – a full listing of all the Concours classes and application information is available here: https://limerock.com/events/historic-festival/sunday-in-the-park-participate/
