If you are unfamiliar with the series, it features manufacturer supported multi-class racing such as the TCR, GT4, GT2 and Cup cars you may be familiar with from Petit Le Mans or British GT Championship series.
Cars from manufacturers include Aston Martin, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, McLaren, Toyota and more split across the 4 classes. Unlike the Prototype and Formula cars, SRO vehicles are often based on production cars with heavy manufacturer support. Despite that, these purpose built race cars feature from 400 hp in the TC classes all the way up to 700 hp or more in the top GT and Cup classes.
SRO features both Pro and Pro-AM drivers who often are the stars or tomorrow at the 24 Hours Of LeMans, F1, Cart/Indy Car, Petit Le Mans and other major races. Household names such as Mike Hakkinen, Jacques Villeneuve and Alessandro Zanardi owe early successes coming up through SRO.
In recent years SRO has invested heavily in the attendee experience at their events. SRO events have always featured great racing, but have not had the fan support. However, this has changed. Unparalleled pit and fan access you get much of the experience of Petit without the crowds or hassle.
Southrnfresh Automotive Showcase
Fans of car and car shows will also appreciate that for 2026 SRO has teamed up with friends of ShiftAtlanta for Southrnfresh Automotive Showcase just before Sunday’s race. If you’ve never attended a Southrnfresh car show you are missing out, it’s one of Atlanta’s premiere events 13 years running. It’s also an amazing cross section of the entire Atlanta Car Scene. We’ve always been big fans of bringing car events and shows to the race track.
