EVENT TYPES
What To Expect:
Once you arrive at Lime Rock Park the rental cars will be there waiting for you and your guests!
HRD will prepare the vehicles before the day of your event, which consists of a vehicle service and full safety inspection. On the day of the event, we will trailer the cars to Lime Rock Park and our crew will perform a complete morning check (adjust tire pressures, check fuel levels, torque wheels etc.) to get the cars ready for the day.
We suggest arriving at least 45 minutes before the start of the event to allow time to find our location in the paddock, sign any documents, and acclimate yourselves with the cars. The HRD crew will be there to greet you and answer any questions you or your guests may have. Seats are non-adjustable but we do have extra padding to position yourselves comfortably before any vehicle heads out onto the track. Helmets are mandatory for the main track; they are not necessary for the Autocross Course.
Once any driver is out on track, they will have exclusive all day pit lane service. Any time you or a guest comes into the pit lane, you will be met by one of the HRD crew to check tire pressures and answer any questions. If you need to drink some water or if you simply want to take a break; you are welcome to go at your own pace.
HRD will handle all aspects of the rental cars and will refuel the vehicles throughout the day allowing you and your guests to focus on the adrenaline rush that is high performance driving!
