The Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, a historic U.S. road course built in 1970 and located just north of Braselton, Georgia, is renowned for hosting touring car and prototype car races. It also serves as the venue for the 10-hour Petit Le Mans endurance race.

This technical course features a series of high-speed corners that requires full-throttle acceleration and hard braking. It’s tight and has dramatic elevation changes, which result in several blind corners. Overtaking must be performed here with caution.
