The Touring Car classes are for smaller-engined BMWs, Porsches, Mustangs, Hondas, Mazdas, Chevrolets, Minis, Nissans and KIAs. Each division has two races over the weekend. All the GT-class races at Lime Rock are being run in the new, exciting “SprintX” format: 60 minutes long, with a mandatory driver swap at 25 minutes.
At Lime Rock, parking and paddock access is free. General Admission: Youths 16 and under are free (w/accompanying adult), and vets and active military (and for Memorial Day weekend, their immediate families) are free.
