Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP) is a road course designed by famed Formula One architects, Hermann Tilke. AMP is a 2-mile road course with elevation (100ft+!) changes, technical course layout, high speed straights and two ‘signature’ corners designed to pay homage to famed European race courses; Belgium’s Spa-Francochamps and the iconic ‘Carousel’ from Germany’s Nurburgring. Incorporating these most famous and exciting of all of motorsports only hints at the lengths.

 

February 28th is the LAST DAY to sign up.

Currently have 17 signed up, if we do not have 40 by Feb. 28th this WILL BE CANCELLED!

 

it would help if you could say when this event will be? Or did I miss it?

 

Cinco de Mayo.

Which is Sunday May 5th
(Sorry I guess that is a bit confusing)

 

yea it was very confusing. let me check my schedule

 

Do you need instructors? Any discount for instructors? Absolutely interested...I would really like to add AMP to my resume...and a one day event would be perfect.

Do you mind if I add this event to our GA RX-8 Club Forum driving section?

 

l8apex, Please go!

 

I gotta run it by the dw tonight...but I am 99% sure I am in.

 

I'm in. I've been dying to get on a cours. Helmet required ?

 

helmet always required...

 

AFAIK we will absolutely need quite a few instructors as majority that plan on running (like myself) this will be their first time, and the course does require instructors on initial runs, so yes, you're more than welcome to join!

I will talk to the man in charge about a discount on instructors if that's possible.

And yes, add this anywhere else! Let everyone know! The only thing is we're trying to keep this Mazda specific, so just keep that in mind.


For everyone else if you can are seriously interested, please sign up!

 

Rats--I wanted to do this but it is in conflict with a Roebling Road event the same w/e.

I will give a free bump to others and also tell them that between sessions ( if you dont already have enough track time lol) they have a really really good go kart track and decent karts.
It is a family type area so bring the wife kids etc.

 

Bump!

We're stuck at 25 people, so PLEASE! If you want to do this, sign up!
If we get up to 45 people that would certainly help as the event will be catered!

I signed up...did you...how about you tom?...might have another rx-8 instructor.interested...

 

if I sign up can I get an rx8 instructor like Tom or Travis?

 

I am unsure how the instructor situation will be handled, but I assume if you have a preference for someone, you would get that person, and those that have no preference will be given whoever is left.

 

the 98db rating is at 50'?

 

When I was there for the Audi club event last year, they were measuring from less than that...they checked each car at pitout and might have been 25' away @3000rpm...but no where near 50'.

 

thanks I really think I can make it at 3k rpm. it's 4k and up that worries me

 

I thought it was 95dB @ 50' at peak RPM... but if it's only 3k I should be good, because my car is absolutely quite loud lol!

I will request clarification on this because it's been seriously worrying me.

 

I just know what I saw the AUDI guys testing when I was shooting their event in October. They had the pit out person checking, he had the sound testing equipment and he stood 25-30 feet from the car, told them to rev it up to 3-4k and hold...if they were good they went out...they also called cars in over the radio that were loud on track...there were a couple that did not return, they were just too loud, despite passing the pit out test. AMP has to take it very seriously. They made deals with the locals on noise...and they bring up a good point in the morning meeting...a lot of tracks in the US are more strict...Laguna is 93db, except for like 7 weekends a year around big pro races.

 

Just signed up, this will be my first track day so I will definitely need an instructor. Very excited about this, hope enough people sign up!!

 

Oh yeah, no I definitely don't mind them for having strict rules as they are there for a very good reason.

I just need to figure something out beforehand because I'm pretty darn sure I'm over their limit

 

May join on this one.
