Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta

Set among the rolling hills of Braselton, Georgia, Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is one of America’s most iconic sports car circuits. Built in just six months on 750 acres, the 2.54-mile, 12-turn natural-terrain circuit opened in September 1970.

It’s modern endurance-racing legacy began with the inaugural Petit Le Mans on 11 October 1998, created by Don Panoz as a North American counterpart to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ferrari 333 SP drivers Wayne Taylor, Eric van de Poele and Emmanuel Collard claimed the first victory. The event helped inspire the creation of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) in 1999, with Road Atlanta becoming a cornerstone of the championship. The circuit remains a major American endurance-racing venue and the home of Motul Petit Le Mans,

Michelin’s relationship with the circuit stretches back decades, with its tyres competing and being developed through racing at Road Atlanta. Michelin became the track’s Official Tire Partner before securing exclusive naming rights in October 2018. From January 2019, the venue officially became Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, making it the first racetrack anywhere in the world to carry Michelin’s name.

Today’s circuit retains its legendary high-speed character, including the famous downhill Esses, blind Turn 12 and dramatic elevation changes. The track has three principal configurations across its history, with the current Grand Prix layout being released in game for now.
