ilmor Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 More info I received via Lime Rock email....... Formula One Cars at Lime Rock Park on Memorial Day Weekend Eau Rouge, Becketts, Casino, Parabolica. Formula One cars will add two new famous corners to their Curriculum Vita. Big Bend and The Downhill. For the first time, a breathtaking selection of Formula One Machinery from one of the great eras of the Series will be racing at Lime Rock Park on Memorial Day Weekend. Authentic cars from the World Championship will compete in two races organized by Historic Grand Prix, a group dedicated to the preservation and use of these great machines. Cars that were driven to success by some of the greatest racers in the world will undoubtedly come close to breaking the Lime Rock Park track record in an unmatched demonstration of technical sophistication, power and handling. The great names of the sport, Andretti, Senna, Gurney, Mansell, Moss, Ascari, Prost, and Schumacher all developed and affirmed their talent racing in Formula One. And, they drove cars which are legendarily faster than anything else around a given track. Marques like Maclaren, Ferrari, Wolf, Penske, Cooper, and Lotus established their brands and competitive reputation racing at tracks like Monza, Silverstone, Spa and Monaco. Manufacturers like Toyota, Ford, Renault, Mercedes Benz, and BMW have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to show that they can match technical brilliance with the specialists who traditionally have concentrated on winning the Formula One World Championship. With around 500 horse power available in cars weighing not much more that a thousand pounds these cars promise to provide a really tremendous spectacle on the 1.5-mile Lime Rock Park. And, they will be on view in a special Midway Paddock area. For a fascinating moment, Lime Rock Park on Memorial Day Weekend will echo to the resounding sounds and spectacular sights of real Formula One cars from the glory days of the World Championship...when Villeneuve, Hunt, Peterson, and Andretti hurtled towards their destiny all over the globe.... not a spectacle to be missed! The Road Racing Classic on Memorial Day Weekend will also feature the Koni Challenge and F2000. Event tickets and Premier Fan Hospitality tickets are on sale now. All tickets include free access to the paddock area and free parking. Discounted advance tickets are available until Friday, 15 May. Following that date, higher gate pricing will apply. Kids 12 and under are always free. Series Information: www.grand-am.com/koni/ www.historicgrandprix.com www.f2000championshipseries.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadCam Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I hope to be there on Monday are you guys both going ? I tried to get tickets for Monday's events from AAA (Auto Club of Hartford). The lady in the Main Office in West Hartford said they have not come in yet. I looked online - I was wondering if we'll get a promo code for a discount this year instead instead of paper tickets? She has my phone number to call when they arrive - I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
