About
The Shenandoah Circuit is a 22-turn, 2.2-mile (3.5 km) road course that first opened in 2004. Widely considered one of the most technical circuits of the recent crop of race courses, the Shenandoah also boasts a smaller scale replica of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife's famous banked Karussell turn. It's also known as the concrete jungle.

Event Specific Details
Whoever said winning wasn't everything, obviously NEVER had cancer!
Many of us, including petrol-heads like those at Gran Touring Motorsports, have been affected by cancer in some form or another. And since we all want to live life at 7000 rpms all the time! That got us thinking... what better way to bring support and awareness for cancer research than through a Motorsports inspired Walk/Run!
GTM in partnership with AutoInterests and Summit Point Raceway proudly invite you to come join us for a Shenandoah Circuit Track Walk on July 31st to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
