Atlanta's motorsports calendar doesn't get any bigger than this. On April 24, 2026, Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta will once again thunder to life as HSR's legendary The Mitty presented by Hagerty returns to one of the most beloved road courses in all of American motorsports. If you bleed racing fuel and call the ATL home, this is the event you simply cannot miss.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other in Motorsports

The Mitty isn't just a race weekend — it's a pilgrimage. Named after the late Jim "Mitty" Mittenthal, a beloved figure in American club racing, this annual HSR (Historic Sportscar Racing) event has grown into one of the most prestigious and passionately celebrated historic racing festivals in the entire country. Year after year, Road Atlanta becomes hallowed ground for racers, collectors, and fans who live and breathe the golden age of motorsport.

And when Hagerty — the definitive name in classic car culture — puts their stamp on an event, you know it's going to be something special. This isn't just racing. It's a rolling museum, a thunderous time machine, and a flat-out spectacular weekend of competition all wrapped into one.

Why Road Atlanta Is the Perfect Stage

Let's be honest — Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is one of the crown jewels of American racing venues. The 2.54-mile circuit tucked into the rolling hills of Braselton, Georgia has hosted some of the most thrilling motorsport moments in history, and its flowing layout, dramatic elevation changes, and iconic sweeping turns make it the ideal canvas for historic machinery to shine. When a vintage Ferrari or a thundering Group C prototype screams through Turn 12 at full song, there is nothing like it on earth.

What to Expect at The Mitty 2026

Attending The Mitty is a full sensory experience. Here's a taste of what fans can look forward to:

  • Decades of racing history on track — from pre-war classics to '80s and '90s sports prototypes
  • Multiple race groups competing across the weekend in wheel-to-wheel action
  • An incredible paddock atmosphere where fans get up close with the cars and drivers
  • Car shows, displays, and Hagerty-curated experiences celebrating automotive culture
  • A passionate community of racers, collectors, and enthusiasts from across North America
