Atlanta Motorsports Park
Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP) is an American auto racing facility that contains two driving circuits in the North Georgia mountains. Designed by Formula One architect Hermann Tilke, Atlanta Motorsports Park's two-mile main road course is held in high regard by outlets such as Road & Track, who named it to its list of Top 10 Tracks in North America. The park is known for the aggressive elevation changes and technical layout. Atlanta Motorsports Park has two “signature” corners as a tribute to Europe's road circuits – Belgium's Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and Germany's Nürburgring.
