I have been here a few times. I've done a few autocross events, one big track event and one FCP euro proving ground event. And every time it's been top notch. Nothing bad to say. Besides a sub 1:00 lap on the big track hasn't happened yet!
My family and I have been coming here for almost three decades. What a nice experience it is, no matter what season, you are treated to beautiful topography and well maintained roads. The Berkshires are quite beautiful and everyone is nice. The track is professionally run by a competent and friendly staff. On raceday the excitement is in air, friendly rivalries are settled on the track and it seems that everyone is having a great time. The car display days are nice too. Dress neat and enjoy the stress-free atmosphere and the friendly conversations. Get a glimpse of or a photo with a Paganni or a Cheron. Go check it out. Get on their email list and be notified about the manner events and experiences they offer. Join a car club, DIOTT.
Every Labor Day, Lime Rock Park presents the Historic Festival. It's a well attended event and every year, there are entrants from all over the United States, creating an eyepopping collection of historic cars. This past Labor Day is no different, here are just some of the amazing cars! Porsche 906, 1965 Ferrari 1512 Formula One car with 1.5 liter flat 12, 1967 Gurney "Blue Eagle" Indy car!!!
An absolutely amazing experience! Well kept grounds, lots of action on race days, and the organizers and folks from the different car clubs were all extremely kind, warm, and welcoming. They want to show people their passion for these cars and it's just a fantastic weekend. If you live in CT, MA, or NY, make it a point to get here at least once!
Attended the Sunday in the Park event. Had a great time walking around seeing the antique cars and motorcycles. Had no idea how big the area is! 380 acres, all well maintained. Proud to say my brother took 2nd Place with his 1984 Honda motorcycle!
Lime Rock Park is one of my favorite places to visit! I’ve been for both the smaller FCP Euro sponsored events and the bigger ones like Gridlife and Miatacon, and every single time it’s an amazing experience. The track is beautiful and such a great spot for photography, with plenty of great views. The staff are always friendly and the events are well organized, big or small. Can’t recommend Lime Rock enough for car enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys a great atmosphere!
June 28th was a great day at Lime Rock, NASCAR trucks and cars, beautiful venue, great staff, friendly audience. Picnic or try the onsite food and beverage. Highly recommend!!!
Well that was my first time going over there 😂 I wind up going with some friends of mine to a truck race. NASCAR beautiful grounds. Really nice people. It was a treat. Really enjoyable. I will definitely go back again if they have a truck race next year or any kind of event in the future
Awesome experience! Beautiful race track and love the no grandstands! Staff was professional and kind. One of the most fan friendly tracks I've ever been to. Highly recommend.
First time visiting as a spectator. Really nice well maintained grounds and clean facilities. Solid cafe for grilled and cold food. Excellent ice coffee.
I’ve been going to Lime Rock for 13 years doing HPDE’s there. It’s a lovely racing park. Nice amenities.
Everything about it is wonderful except for the fact that it’s short and has only one left-hand turn.
I hear they’re going to host a NASCAR race in 2025. I can’t imagine it. Poor baby…
UPDATE: LRP is in the process of upgrading the facilities for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, June 28. They are building garage facilities and redoing the entrance. Normal facilities have been upgraded, like the bathrooms.
Got a very mediocre hamburger and fries with yellow glop, on 4-21-25. Not their best effort. They did replace it with a better, hot/cooked hamburger but still on a frigid bun. And who puts chopped Iceberg lettuce on a hamburger?
Adrenaline, need for speed , fun place even though I haven't even made it on to the actual road course yet. My first three visits here this year were for the very enjoyable Gorman Performance Engineering events on the FCP proving grounds. Many runs with some great like minded people. Located in a very beautiful area of Connecticut.
I haven't been to this track in over 10 years and it was beautiful to come back to.
I absolutely love the elevation changes. And of course, the stunning scenery and the hospitality was amazing.
I was lucky enough to experience the hotlaps in the aston.
Can't wait to come back
Lime rock park has been a staple in our family for automotive racing since the early 70s. My dad and I would go and enjoy racing on Memorial Day. Things have changed that I can remember even from the 80s, I remember there being so many blankets on the ground, where it was like walking around at the beach, where you were trying to not step on peoples blankets and trying to get around everything. The garbage cans were always full and overflowing with so much trash and beer bottles. I could not imagine how much the bottles were worth for recyclables. There was almost always about a 10 to 12 foot distance from the fence were photographers and people walking around the track made their way around. I remember people putting tarps up against the fence, having hibachi‘s and cooking pretty much inside the infield areas as a norm. Back then tickets were available at a lot of local places, stores, package stores, car dealerships, just ones that I remember. At 54 years of age now, I see a lot of people missing going to the tracks, lime rock is a beautiful venue that has updated it many ways, as a car collector and member of Hagerty there are benefits to those memberships. Ticket prices for events are around $80 a person, I would suspect these are very big increases nearing NASCAR ticket prices. We were going to attend the car show Sunday for the fall historic vintage festival, but the staff there mention it’s $40 a car and if you have a passenger it’s another $40. At $80 for two people we can simply not attend, what’s going on here. It’s unfortunate as last year this was free, one can only wonder what the turnout will be. One thing noteworthy of missing is the billboard that highlights the remaining laps and track positions, that appears to have been removed. I would hope that the owners of lime rock park have plans to put that back, yesterday we had a hard time following how many laps are left in for the positions of the cars. Basically, every track that we’ve attended all seem to have a board that highlights positions and labs. Lime rock Park has and will remain to be a go to for auto racing events for us, we would just like to see pricing more in line with events there. I would suspect lower pricing would get more people to attend. A $9 can of beer, expensive food and for travelers coming from out of state factor in gas, a $32 T-shirt and you have a pretty expensive day. For people in certain industries you know what it costs to make stuff. Having pricing more inline with for generating sales, goes a long way. I can’t remember the last time in public I saw a LRP shirt or anything. I wish they focus on marketing to get the name out there. Trust me, I like not having tons of people around me, but I would like to see this park exist not snd generations to come.
This weekend we had a chance to see cars I could not have imagined to see on the track, old Ferraris, old Porsche, such iconic cars right here in Connecticut, at Lime Rock Park. There was a person at the pit gate that mentioned, if your jaw doesn’t drop your not much of a car enthusiasts, man I couldn’t agree more. The cars there yesterday were absolutely stunning, and ti see snd hear them run in the track one at a time to hear the iconic engine tones, was simply stunning. To hear 60’s Lemans type cars running on the track was absolutely stunning, thank you LRP and car owners for sharing these incredible memories with us, the spectators and car guys and ladies.
PS, bring back the dvd video even in its old state for $20, people would enjoy it. An employee can make copies with current disk duplicators to keep it low budget and keep fans happy. Pics attached of what I have.
It’s a beautiful drive to get there and a beautiful track to enjoy some racing!! Plenty of different vantage points to view the on track action. Loved being able to take a stroll down pit road and check out the cars up close. Make sure you have a good pair of shoes if you want to see the whole track, it’s a decent amount of walking. Looking forward to heading back for another race.
It's a really fun day! Great viewing areas. You can be pretty close to the track during races. Spent most of the day just meeting racers and car enthusiasts. People are super friendly. The park is maintained well.
Great race track. There are 2 free areas to park on grassy hills and additional paid/VIP parking with-in the track area, especially for campers. NO FILTERED PUBLIC WATER STATIONS, but the upper restroom facility does have an outside deep wash basin sink. Some public areas have a moderate amount of tree shade and some have almost none.
33 years of coming here. Amazing track amazing people and racing so close you can taste it. Family friendly. Great camping. You can Access the whole track for viewing. Thousands of great memories Can't say enough about the love of this place
What a great day. I am not a car enthusiast but it doesn't matter, I had a great time. Cars are so cool! Just a great time seeing all the races and gorgeous cars. If you have kids (small, big) remotely interested in cars, bring them! They will go bonkers.
Gone here many times and always had a great time. Track is beautiful the driver there is amazing. No matter why you go either for an event or a race .
Clean restrooms plenty of parking.
Such a historic track and an absolutely beautiful setting. The racing was good and the ability to see the teams and cats is fantastic. The place is under new management and it feels like they may be working out some bugs. Very long lines for food and drink, 30+ mins for a burger. Nowhere to escape the sun/heat and the track store is the smallest it has ever been. It just lacked the same energy of years past.
