The track is a 3.41 mile purpose-built F1 track that has been used for Formula 1, NASCAR, MotoGP and many other racing series. You'll line up in groups and follow a lead car onto the track at 25 MPH to experience COTA's signature 20 turns just like many world champions have before you.

Peppermint Plaza entry costs $4 per person. As an added bonus, all Peppermint Parkway packages include four Peppermint Plaza tickets.

If vehicle capacity exceeds 8 seats and/or is 20'-27' in length, two vehicle admission passes are required (even if 9 or more people are not present). Buses larger than 27’ in length are not allowed on The Parkway.
