About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Circuit Legends presented by Akebono. The featured marques for Sunday 8/17 are any and all track related vehicles, regardless of make.

The Sunday Motoring Meets series is an all-are-welcome casual gathering of automotive enthusiasts hosted by FCP Euro at beautiful Lime Rock Park. This is more than just cars and coffee - it's about enjoying automotive culture with like-minded enthusiasts at one of America's most beautiful and historic racetracks.

Each 'Meet' has one to two featured marques that are parked and displayed on the famous Sam Posey Straight. Other show cars of all makes are invited into the "A" paddock.

There are just a few key things to know about attending a Sunday Motoring Meet:

  • Just like our Cars and Coffee events, they are free of charge for everyone - no gate fee, no nothing.
  • We do require registration for all attendees. Lime Rock Park uses a digital waiver system for entry, and we have to send those out to all attendees the day before the event.
  • We NEED to be good neighbors and community members driving in and around Lime Rock Park. Absolutely no speeding, revving, 2-step/launch control, intentional crackle tunes/general hooning will be accepted. If you do this you will definitely be ridiculed by other attendees, probably get yelled at, and possibly be asked not to return to any future Sunday Motoring Meets. Don't forget that speeding on the roads outside the park will likely result in a ticket or two from Connecticut State Troopers who are on-site for the duration. Please keep the neighbors in mind on your drive-in; we want this to be an event we can continue to host!
  • Each edition of the Sunday Motoring Meets will have a 'featured marque' that gets to line up on the famous Sam Posey Straight. All other brands will be just across the pit lane in the main paddock. Lime Rock concessions will be open for purchases, or you can BYOC. (Bring your own Coffee)
  • They're for all automotive enthusiasts - any make, any model, it doesn't have to be European. This is about bringing together automotive enthusiasts of all kinds, not just Euro car owners.

This event is RAIN or SHINE.

Watch for emails 24 hours before the event with an online waiver and any event/schedule information updates.

Frequently asked questions

When should I arrive?

We recommend that featured marques arrive at 9 am. General admission also opens at 9 am. We will always send an email the day before confirming times. Please note that on-track parking has a strict 2-hour window.

I’m running late and won’t make the cut-off for the featured marque, can I still park on track?

Although we always try to accommodate attendees, once the on-track parking is closed, for pedestrian safety we cannot arrange on-track parking. We absolutely encourage you to attend and park in the paddock and enjoy the event, it will still be a great time!

I’m driving a featured marques, but don’t want to park on track, what should I do?

Be sure to communicate this to the Lime Rock Park gate staff when you arrive. Also you'll want to arrive at General Admission gate time (9 am) so you remain out of the on-track parking flow

I’m parked On-Track, how do I leave?

All featured marques will exit the track via either pit lane or the left-hander access road depending on where you are parked. Follow signs, or simply ask some of the parking staff in the high-vis vests for assistance or directions.

I’m parked On-Track, can I leave early?

Yes you can. Follow the standard exit rules via pit lane or the left-hander access road, and you should be good to go. Please be aware that if you are attempting to leave while on track parking is still loading in, there may be a decent amount of traffic so please be patient.

Are food/refreshments available?

Yes, Lime Rock Park Provisions will be open and serving coffee, breakfast, lunch, and other snacks throughout the event. At times, there will also be food trucks available in the A-Paddock

Can I bring a dog?

We welcome fuzzy four-legged friends to our Sunday Motoring Meets, provided they are leashed at all times; you pick up after them and mind where they are relieving themselves and well-behaved around other dogs, small children, and large crowds. Also, keep in mind the temperatures; no burnt beans!

Is this event family-friendly?

Of course! We do ask everyone to keep in mind that some owners can be very particular about their vehicles, and there are moving vehicles around the space at almost all times, so please keep a close eye on any younger children for their safety.

I want to park with my friends, can we park together?

We will absolutely try to accommodate any groups that want to park to together. We ask that you pre-group off-premise, and that the first driver be very clear with the parking staff to let them know you are part of a group. If you have a total car count that would be helpful.

What hashtag should I use for posting on social media?

We’re stoked you would want to share our event with the world - use #sundaymotoringmeet to tag your photos, who knows, we might share it!

Where can I find out about other events that FCP Euro is involved with?

We’re so glad you asked! Check out www.events.fcpeuro.com for the full list of all events where FCP Euro will have a presence this year.

​​I'd like to set up a vendor booth, how do I find out more?

Please reach out to events@fcpeuro.com for more information on setting up a booth at a Sunday Motoring Meet.

The forecast says it's going to rain, is the event still on?

Yes -- all Sunday Motoring Meets are rain or shine. In the event of lighting or other instances of severe weather we will notify changes via email to all attendees.

I just detailed my car and don’t want to drive/park in the grass, what are my options?

Unfortunately, in order to best manage traffic in and out of the facility, you may need to drive through grass and/or on gravel roads to enter or exit the event. We appreciate the pride that everyone takes in their vehicles, but this is out of our control and unavoidable in some instances.

I want to take some photos of my car on track, can I do that?

While we want to give everyone time to capture photos of their car on the track at Lime Rock Park, time and space constraints will typically mean that special requests may not be able to be accommodated. If we are able to, we will.

Where can I find out more about other events at Lime Rock Park?

The best place to start is www.limerock.com - and from there you can learn more about the facility, its history, and other awesome events, like GRIDLIFE, NASCAR, and Historics Weekend.

This Sunday Motoring Meet was great, but I want to drive on the track with my car, how do I do that?

We recommend checking out www.provinggrounds.fcpeuro.com to learn more about the FCP Euro Proving Grounds, an accessible mini-road course that’s safe enough for a beginner and still challenging for an old pro. You can also check the Lime Rock website, or search SCDA for more.

What do I need to bring with me to enter?

To enter you'll need to bring your phone with the confirmation screen showing that you've signed your digital waiver. Please have it ready and on the QR code screen so that Lime Rock staff can scan you in quickly and easily. If you have any questions please email events@fcpeuro.com.
