Road Atlanta was picked by Car and Driver as one of 6 road racing courses around the US that they say, "generally date back to a time when racetracks were supposed to have elevation changes, blind corners, and distinct personalities." And, "In the good old days, the danger was an accepted part of the deal, and we think a scintilla of fear makes for a more challenging competition venue." That's right, Road Atlanta was one of them! Road Atlanta is recognized as one the world's best road courses. Our multi-purpose motorsports facility is situated on 750 park-like acres in the rolling hills of Northeast Georgia. Road Atlanta is located 35 miles north of Atlanta and just minutes away from Chateau Elan, a 4-Star resort offering guests comfort and amenities such as three championship golf courses and a European-style Spa.
The facility is utilized for a wide variety of events, including professional and amateur sports car and motorcycle races, racing and driving schools, corporate programs, and testing for motorsports teams.
Road Atlanta is host to major events like Petit Le Mans, Drift Atlanta, and The Mitty.
