Driver Insight: “Lime Rock is a special circuit that holds a history that is rich in North American sports car racing. It’s nestled in the most picturesque setting, but looks can be deceiving.  This short little circuit demands serious attention from the driver. The speeds are very high, and there is zero time to rest as lap times are well under the minute mark. Add the traffic associated with multi class racing, and it’s understood why we call it the Bull Ring!” – Andrew Davis, Driver No. 6 Stevenson Motorsports Audi R8 LMS
