The Chattanooga Motorcar Festival has announced that the Pace Grand Prix at the Bend this year will be sanctioned by Sportscar Vintage Racing Association. This will be its third annual event on 14-16 October 2022. The course, along the banks of the Tennessee River, will now include an infield loop and other track improvements. Practice laps begin on Thursday. Racing will take place on Friday and Saturday of the Festival.

The ~2.4-mile purpose-built race track in the heart of the City of Chattanooga was created in 2021 to hold vintage/historic races during the Festival, giving racing and collector car fans a variety of activities to enjoy, including a road rally through the Tennessee countryside, a traditional Concours d’Elegance, a Mecum Auctions event, an art show, along with racing competition at the Pace Grand Prix at the Bend. The circuit was named after the late Jim Pace, the Festival’s original Chief Operating Officer, who lost his life to COVID-19 in 2020.

Applications to enter vintage/historic race cars in the Pace Grand Prix at the Bend along with applications to enter other events may be found at https://www.chattanoogamotorcar.com/applications-overview. Tickets for the 2022 Chattanooga Motorcar Festival will soon go on sale. The latest information on the Festival is available at chattanoogamotorcar.com.
