Corvette Museum Motorsports Park readies for launch

April 25, 2014

vette_track_4_25_14A new world class motorsports park is opening in August 2014 and Corvette enthusiasts and Michelin are helping to make it happen. The National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park, located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, will become the perfect complement to the National Corvette Museum and the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant.

Michelin will become the official tire of the NCM Motorsports Park.

Located on approximately 184 acres of land with 1.5 miles of frontage on I-65, directly across the interstate from the Museum, the initial phase of the Park will consist of a twin circuit arrangement of a two mile / 13 turn West course and a one mile / 10 turn East course which can be combined into multiple configurations.

Both circuits will feature technical turns, straights and elevation changes. These two courses could be used independently for multiple events, or connected together into a unique large course.

The adjoining 221 acres have also been incorporated into Phase II of the Master Development Plan, and may be used for future development. The track was designed with challenging features that are reminiscent of the famous Circuit de la Sarthe course in Le Mans, France where Corvette Racing has enjoyed great success.

Variable configurations for autocross will also be available on a 21 acre wet/dry skid pad area.

The NCM’s high performance driver education (HPDE) school offers an intense program teaching vehicle dynamics, car control, cornering, braking and driving fundamentals in the classroom and on the track, led by highly-trained classroom and certified in-car instructors.
