Additional support series will be announced closer to the event. The weekend joins NASCAR, Trans Am, GRIDLIFE, and MiataCon on the 2027 Lime Rock calendar, setting up what is shaping up to be one of the most exciting seasons in the park's long history. More than a race weekend. FCP Euro is planning to make this more than just a race sponsorship. The Northeast Grand Prix weekend is going to be an anchor for a broader week of events celebrating car culture across Connecticut. FCP Euro is still 18 months out, so FCP Euro is not ready to share all the details yet, but stay tuned, because FCP Euro has some exciting ideas in the works for the New England community. In the meantime, if you haven't made it out to a Sunday Motoring Meet at Lime Rock Park yet, FCP Euro host these free gatherings throughout the season to bring car owners and fans together in a setting that feels more like a community event than a traditional car show. And if you're looking for an on-track experience, the FCP Euro Proving Grounds autocross circuit at Lime Rock Park is there for exactly that continuously throughout the year. FCP Euro is incredibly proud to help bring IMSA back to Connecticut and to continue building something real with the Lime Rock Park community. The Northeast car scene deserves world-class racing, and FCP Euro is glad to do its small part in making it happen. See you at The Park. Evan madore.
