ELKHART LAKE, Wis., June 19, 2020 – Road America is proud to announce some welcome news for history fanatics of American open-wheel racing with the addition of Vintage Indy™ to the event line-up for the REV Group Grand Prix presented by AMR Doubleheader weekend, July 9-12. Fans are welcome to the 4-day event weekend and are encouraged to practice safe social distancing or wear a cloth face-covering where social distancing is difficult to maintain.
During the event, several historic open-wheel race cars will traverse the 4.048-mile road course in multiple sessions demonstrating the cars on-track, sandwiched between breaks where spectators can visit a designated paddock area to see the machines up close and personal.
On Saturday, July 11, there will be a 30-minute session – from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. – followed by another 30-min session from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. On Sunday, July 12, sessions are slated to run from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and then from 2:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Corvette enthusiasts will have the rare opportunity to join in on the action during two exclusive ‘Corvette Only’ touring sessions from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, and 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 12. Corvette touring passes are only $20 and numbers for Corvette touring are limited to only 100 cars. Corvette touring passes must be purchased online at www.roadamerica.com
The weekend schedule will also be bolstered by Indy Pro 2000, and USF2000 races which help develop the stars of tomorrow with many drivers on the NTT INDYCAR Series grid as graduates.
For those unaware, Vintage Indy™ dedicates itself to the history and preservation of “Indianapolis Championship Cars” created between 1911 and 1997.
The broader goal of Vintage Indy™ is to ensure that race cars from this era continue to be appreciated through showcase events, carefully documented records on each car’s history, and an engaging network of car owners, enthusiasts, and professionals that share the same love for what they have coined “The Greatest Cars in Racing.”
