Competitors in the 2021 Chattanooga Motorcar Festival will race along a new two-mile course in downtown Chattanooga during wheel-to-wheel events scheduled to take place Oct. 15-17.
The inaugural Chattanooga Motorcar Festival was held in 2019. The 2020 event was canceled due to the pandemic.
A renowned motor sports track planning and execution company designed the course, the festival reports. Construction is underway.
It will begin at Blue Goose Hollow Park and consist of eight turns that wind through the public streets and sections of private property.
The course will be named the Pace Grand Prix at the Bend in memory of the late Jim Pace.
A longer version of the course is planned for 2022.
Events on the course Friday and Saturday will include class races among 12 competitors at a time. The new track replaces the time trials course used in 2019.

The track entry is walkable from The Westin Hotel in West Village, which will serve as the home base of the festival. In addition, four 72-passenger open-air trams will carry spectators between West Village and the track.
