The esses during practice for the 2006 Petit Le Mans.

In 1969, David Sloyer, Earl Walker, and Arthur Montgomery purchased a 750-acre (303 ha) plot of farmland in Hall County, Georgia, with the intent to build a world-class road racing facility. When a Can-Am race had to be canceled due to flood damage, the series organizers chose Road Atlanta to replace it. The track then began to take form quickly, taking only six months to excavate, grade, and pave the road course.
