Bags are packed for shipping tomorrow to the Avalon. The wife was worried about makeup. I told her I would put it in the trunk.

Caution: It gets hot in the trunk. Your wife may not appreciate the results of makeup in there after an extended drive.

The 22nd annual running of Petit Le Mans takes place October 12, 2019 at 2.54 mile Road Atlanta, located in Braselton, Georgia. Join us to cheer on Ford Chip Ganassi Racing, as they race one more time (let that sink in!) before the conclusion of the factory Ford GT Racing program. It has been a real pleasure to watch these drivers and teams compete over the last four years, and this will be the final opportunity to do so. I truly think they couldn't have assembled a better lineup of drivers both on and off the track, and after attending 20+ race events to watch since 2016, it will be bittersweet knowing that this is the end.

Ford GT Forum is offering an exclusive hospitality package for GT Owners. Each hospitality package is $850 and includes a 4-day official race “superticket,” a Ford GT car corral parking pass for Ford GTs only (maximum 40 vehicles), a 4-day general admission parking pass, and exclusive access to the Ford GT Owner Hospitality located atop Spectator Hill on Friday (October 11) and Saturday (October 12). There is very limited availability for this event.

We will also have the new Ford GT MkII displayed on site at the hospitality. If you didn't get a chance to see it at Car Week, this will be your next opportunity to get a live look.

The Ford GT Owner’s Hospitality package includes the following amenities:
  • Ford GT Owner Hospitality Building located on Spectator Hill
  • Ford GT only race day parking in the Support Paddock Car Corral
  • 4-day Superticket
  • 4-day General Admission Infield Parking Pass
  • Hospitality food and beverage
  • Live Track Feed
  • Live Timing and Scoring Feed
  • Team/sponsor presentations
  • Gift bag
Details on additional Ford GT Owner activities around this event will be released in the following days. Just a note, but this year it's an actually hard-sided structure, not a tent, so it should be quite a bit quieter for those with volume concerns. And we're up along the fence line on the hill, so it's not right on the concrete wall of the front straight.


There is no official hotel package but a large contingent will be staying at the following hotel:

ALOHA y’all! Long time no talk or see. I can hardly contain my enthusiasm to catch up with old friends & meet new ones. Mr & Mrs Apollo were so kind to transport K081 (I think that’s me) & I’m presently on a plane to ATL. Over the last year or so, I’ve had a few significant events occur in my life. One may be immediately evident to those who know me...upon seeing us.

Cheers!

TICKETS

Your tickets for the Ford GT Hospitality will be available to be picked up at WILL CALL. This building is located on Winder Highway just beyond the track entrance. You won't be able to miss it. If you indicated you are bringing your GT, you will have a parking pass for the corral area near spectator hill.

Hospitality Wristbands

You will receive wristbands to enter the hospitality along with some goodies at the check-in desk on Friday.

Transport around the track

We will have 5 golf carts making continuous loops around the track on Friday and Saturday to take guests to various viewing areas. The drivers will be wearing Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Team Gear so flag one down and show them your wristband and you'll be good to ride. Spectator Hill is the best viewing spot on the track, but it is a hike, so this will be convenient to go to other areas.

Schedule

Friday

8-10 AM Continental Breakfast will be available at the unit
12-2 PM Lunch will be served

2:45 - 3:15 PM Driver Appearance - 1 driver from each car will be at the unit to speak

This print features a visual history of the GT, from the 2015 NAIAS launch and through each phase of the of the race program. Each livery worn in competition is depicted, including test cars and the GTE-AM car that wore Ford GT Forum on its rear fascia.

Signed and Numbered by the artist. Edition of 150. 24" x 36" Canvas. Available for purchase at the link above.

Has anyone verified truck/trailer parking? I know last year they let us park behind the hotel, but I don’t want to take it for granted...
I confirmed parking today with Hotel Avalon. The truck/trailer parking will be the same as last year, directly behind the hotel.
