Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP) is a road circuit designed by famed Formula One architects, Hermann Tilke. AMP is a 2-mile road circuit with elevation changes, technical circuit layout, high-speed straights and two ‘signature’ corners designed to pay homage to famed European race circuits; Belgium’s Spa-Francochamps and the iconic ‘Carousel’ from Germany’s Nurburgring. Incorporating these most famous and exciting elements of all of tracks only hints at how much fun AMP is.

    I've been placed on the wait list for the novice group. How soon will I know if I've been accepted? Its a long drive so I'd like to know as soon as possible. Thanks.

      We can't promise you a slot in the Novice group only because we usually don't know if there will be room in any group for wait-listed drivers until registration is almost over.  (See schedule above.)  Many times a run group will open as people cancel at the last minute due to work, car problems, etc., so we don't have much advance warning.  Therefore, your odds of getting into any group from the wait list improve considerably if you're already at the track.  (Even if there aren't enough open slots to get you into the group, you can always participate in the Track Touring Laps which are free.  See Kathy Barnes comments below.)  Hope this helps and we see you on Wednesday!

        I am currently on the waitlist for the novice group.  How long is the list and do you know the chances on being contacted to participate?  Also, even without a slot, would it improve my chances to drive if I show up early incase there are any no shows?  Last, is track insurance offered at the event?

        Thanks!

          You can sign up for the track insurance using the Hagerty app,  if you get into the event.  Never any promises about people not showing up.

            What are the driving rules for a track tour lap? I’ve worked/run autocross events, so might be interested in helping out as well. Get my feet wet so to speak.

              Track Tour rules:  sign the waiver,  show your license,  listen to the driver instructions, follow the car in front of you,  no passing, don't be the guy who hangs back to get a run at a corner because you will get a black flag.

                Discovery Parts is on property. They are pricey but convenient. I believe they rent helmets, but I would call to make sure. 706.344.1235

                  Will there be helmets that we can rent?

                  if not, where is a good place to buy one ?

                    Contact the track about rental helmets.

                      AMP has helmet rentals. I rented one the first time there. Just go to the track shop.
