About the HSR Classic 10HR Presented by Mission Foods
Historic Sportscar Racing, known universally as HSR, is the premier sanctioning body for vintage and historic racing in the United States. Founded on the principle that legendary race cars deserve to be driven — not parked in museums — HSR events unite some of the most significant machines in motorsport history on world-class circuits. The HSR Classic series represents the pinnacle of that mission, and the 10-hour endurance format elevates the competition to a level that demands strategy, mechanical reliability, and pure driver skill.
The Classic 10HR presented by Mission Foods is an endurance race in the truest sense. Teams pilot historically significant sports cars, prototypes, and GT machines through a grueling ten-hour test at Road Atlanta's demanding 2.54-mile layout. The field spans multiple decades of automotive history, from early sports racers of the 1960s to the iconic Group C and IMSA GTP cars that defined endurance racing's golden era. For motorsport fans, this is the event that delivers the sights, sounds, and raw mechanical drama that modern racing rarely replicates.
Mission Foods, a global leader in tortillas and flatbreads, brings its brand of bold flavors and authentic spirit as the presenting sponsor — a fitting partnership for an event that celebrates passion, heritage, and intensity. The 2026 HSR Classic 10HR presented by Mission Foods at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is a full-day experience that keeps fans engaged from the opening green flag through the final checkered.
The Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta Experience
Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is not just a racetrack — it is a living landmark of American motorsport. Carved into the red clay and forested terrain of Gwinnett and Hall counties northeast of Atlanta, Road Atlanta opened in 1970 and immediately established itself as one of the most technically demanding and visually spectacular circuits in the country. The track's signature blind crests, high-speed sweepers, and the legendary uphill esses demand precision from every driver who turns a wheel there.
Attending an event at Road Atlanta is a full sensory experience. The natural amphitheater layout means fans get unobstructed sightlines across multiple sections of the circuit from a single viewing position. The paddock at HSR events is famously accessible — guests walk directly among the historic machinery, speak with the owners and drivers, and witness up-close preparation that puts them inside the sport in a way that stadium events simply cannot replicate.
The venue is located at 5300 Winder Highway in Braselton, Georgia, roughly 45 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta via I-85 North and GA-211. The surrounding area of Braselton and Hoschton offers ample lodging, dining, and local hospitality. General parking is available on-site, and many fans make a weekend of it, camping trackside to catch every session from dawn to dusk.
Road Atlanta has hosted MotoAmerica Superbike rounds, the Petit Le Mans — one of North America's most prestigious endurance races — and countless club and historic events. It carries the Michelin name as its title sponsor, a partnership that underscores the venue's global credibility. For the 2026 HSR Classic 10HR, this iconic circuit is the perfect stage.
