Driver Insight: “Lime Rock is the shortest track we racing all year which changes both driving style, strategy, and how we race the other competitors. There are no long straights here or heavy breaking zones compared to tracks like Canadian Tire Motorsport Park or Detroit to make for easy passing opportunities. This track takes a lot of smooth precision and finesse as you have to roll a lot of speed through all the corners. This is also the shortest event for us which pushes us to get the car set up very quickly as we have a little time to make changes throughout the weekend, which heavily benefits unloading with a good car,” – Madison Snow, Driver No. 48 Paul Miller Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3
