The sound of summer winding down might sound like splashing in the lake. The leaves are starting to change, and the smell of campfire travels in the air. But, for Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, summer’s wind down sounds like the roar and smell of engines gliding through North Georgia terrain.
The 28th Annual Motul Petit Le Mans is set for another incredible weekend of racing in Hall County, October 8th-11th! This sports car endurance race was designed with the intention of bringing the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans to North America.

Racing drivers from all around the world flock to this renowned circuit just minutes away from Lake Lanier. Previous Formula 1 drivers, current and past INDYCAR drivers, and talented young drivers tackle this elevated on-filled track. The 10-hour race will host 4 different categories of cars: GTD (Grand Touring Daytona), GTD Pro (Grand Touring Daytona Pro), LMP2 (Le Mans Prototype 2), and GTP (Grand Touring Prototype), all racing for the win.
“Last year’s Motul Petit Le Mans was incredible. I’d been to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta before, and I had a really good time, but Petit Le Mans was not even comparable. The energy, excitement, and adrenaline were right in your face as soon as you drove onto the property. It is a high-stakes event, and you can feel that radiating off the track. The best part about Petit Le Mans is being able to walk through the paddock. Experiencing the weekend from the team and driver sides was such a treat. It was eye-opening to say the least.”
