I’ve been lucky enough to visit a lot of race tracks over the years. There are a lot of them left, so sometimes I feel like it isn’t that much, but then I think about how many regular folks wish they had gotten to see as many as I have. Some of them have been more memorable than others, and I realize that the reason is usually because of the history and stories I know. Each time I went to a track for the first time, knowing some cool bit of history, it made the whole trip more fun. So in that vain, this video below features some cool history and stories from the history of Road Atlanta. Check it out.

Discover how tire failures, 1,000-horsepower GTP cars, and even a mid-race “moving track” helped shape the evolution of one of the world’s greatest natural terrain road courses.
