Where can you find some of the fastest race cars to come out of Japan in the last 50 years, all in one place? Try the 46th annual Historic Sportscar Racing Mitty, set for April 25-28, 2024, at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
"The significant race wins and championships of Japanese manufacturers in major sports car competition around the world has been impressive and somewhat unheralded over the years, but we look forward to bringing some focus–and impressive race cars–to celebrate these achievements at the 46th Mitty," said HSR President David Hinton.
The 2024 schedule is set to include 10 feature races, “non-stop sprints,” club corrals, various vendors and more. Cars from some of Japan's neighbors will also be included in the celebrations:
Adding to the mix, HSR has opened up the Featured Marque celebration to include cars from Japan's neighboring countries in Asia. Kia fielded factory-supported and championship-winning Optimas in World Challenge competition a decade ago while fellow South Korean manufacturer Hyundai's earliest editions of its IMSA championship-winning TCR cars are now retired from contemporary racing and eligible for HSR competition.
In addition, stock cars, open-wheel Formula racers and other familiar favorites will also be competing.

“Miatas can’t be vintage.”
Oh, wait, the first ones are nearing 35 years old...?
