Flatrock Motorsports Park in Cumberland County, Tennessee, has just unveiled its inaugural full circuit, the ‘Club’ track, marking a significant step in its development. The 3.5-mile, 23-turn circuit was opened to members, with Rusty Bittle, the venue’s developer and founding partner, taking the first laps. The construction process spanned 20 months and is a major achievement for the facility. Following the ‘Club’ track, a karting track is in the works, with plans for a 2.7-mile FIM and FIA-certified Grade 2 grand prix track. Flatrock aims to establish itself as a premier motorsport destination, laying the foundation for future expansions and developments. The Club circuit boasts 127 feet of elevation change, including an 18-degree banked turn, offering an exhilarating experience for drivers in GT3 machinery. Located near Knoxville, Flatrock has engaged in talks with various racing series to potentially host events in the future, while also planning to introduce additional amenities like a hotel, restaurant, campgrounds, brewery, winery, and an amphitheater for concerts and events in upcoming phases.
