GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • The American Speed Festival introduces the inaugural Ladies Race of Champions, featuring five top professional female drivers – PIPPA MANN, LONI UNSER, MEGAN MEYER, TAYLOR FERNS, and LAURA HAYES – competing in identical Radical race cars across two days at M1 Concourse.
  • This new event levels the playing field with spec equipment, meaning pure driving talent determines the winner. The format includes timed sessions on October 4-5, with the best combined lap times crowning the 2025 LROC champion – a refreshing focus on merit over machinery.
  • While the festival celebrates 50 years of the Porsche 930 Turbo and honors two-time Indy 500 champion Al Unser Jr., the addition of the Ladies Race of Champions signals a commitment to showcasing women’s racing talent alongside the traditional motorsports legends.

UPCOMING:

  • Ladies Race of Champions – October 4-5, M1 Concourse
  • ASF Checkered Flag Ball – Saturday evening
