One Lap. No Excuses.

Join us on June 26th for an all-out Hotlap battle on the FCP Euro Proving Grounds Super Circuit, where outright speed takes the win and $1,000 cash is on the line in every class.

The first of our two all-new Hotlap Challenge events, Summer Shootout 1.0 brings a new format to GPE Racing Events. Unlike our Autocross Trilogy, which utilizes a traditional standing-start autocross format, competitors will take to the track in a true time attack style event. Drivers will run multiple timed sessions throughout the day, with the fastest lap in each class claiming victory.

Classing
• Street Tire Class – 200TW tires and higher
• Competition Tire Class – Under 200TW tires, including R-compounds and slicks

To maintain competitive parity, open-wheel cars, karts, prototypes, and similar purpose-built race vehicles are not eligible for prize payouts.

$1,000 Cash Prize Per Class
Each class winner will take home a $1,000 cash prize, making this one of the largest grassroots motorsports payouts in the region.

Qualify for the Lime Rock Top 30 Shootout
This event also serves as a qualifier for the Lime Rock Top 30 Autocross Invitational Shootout (AXIS).

Half-Day Entries Available
Due to popular demand, half-day entry options are now available for competitors!

We are incredibly excited to introduce this new format and can't wait to see who rises to the top and takes home one of the biggest cash prizes in grassroots motorsports.

Last Saturday marked our Summer Showdown 4.0, bringing together an incredible mix of cars, drivers, and competition. Competitors took on a fast and technical course layout that pushed both driver skill and vehicle performance to the limit, resulting in some of the closest battles we’ve seen all season.

In the American Muscle Class, Jose in the bounty car C6 put down a standout performance to secure 1st place, while Jeff piloted his Tesla to 1st place in the Non-American Muscle Class after a hard-fought day of competition.

From the first run to the final lap, the energy was high, the competition was tight, and the atmosphere was exactly what grassroots motorsports is all about.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, competed, and supported the event. We couldn’t do it without this amazing community. We’re already looking forward to the all new Hot lap shootout event, The Summer Shootout, Friday June 26th! See you there!

🚨 WANTED: Jose Arroyo 🚨

Last seen abandoning his JDM brothers and defecting to the dark side behind the wheel of an all-American C6 Corvette. Authorities report he responded to all questioning with, “No way, Jose”… which honestly isn’t helping his case.

A bounty has been placed on the car, but locating Jose won’t be easy. Investigators say the only reliable way to identify him at the track is by analyzing which pair of New Balance sneakers and jorts combination he shows up wearing on race day.

If spotted, approach with caution. He may attempt to explain that “There’s no replacement for displacement” while revving a Corvette and pretending he never owned a turbo import.
