It's official, RPM Stamford is now the most fun place to spend your Tuesday night.  We know that's a pretty bold statement to make, with happy hours galore to choose from.  But all good things come in 10s, and $10 Tuesdays are here to stay!

September 14, 1956… on this day in history, Elvis Presley put out his first hit song; Dwight D. Eisenhower announced he is running for a second term; and of course, it was the first ever public go-kart appearance! We’ve coined it Go-Kart Day. And what better way to commemorate this special time than offering FREE RACES in our all-electric go-karts at ALL SIX RPM Raceway locations (Jersey City, Farmingdale, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Stamford). We’ll be giving out FREE RACES to the first 25 racers who come to each location!

Gear up your engines and grab your best lawn chairs, CT! We’re closing in on just 3 days until the IMSA Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park, a place rich in beauty, tradition and most importantly speed!

The stage is set for Formula E’s return to NYC. Last year they made history by bringing the very first international car race to New York City. This year Red Hook, Brooklyn will once again be center stage for the grand finale on July 14 & 15. Rounds 11 & 12 feature a back to back race weekend with the only circuit to feature the iconic Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty as the backdrop. For 2018 the Brooklyn Circuit will feature an even longer track than last season, spanning 1.52 miles. 10 teams and 20 drivers will head into the double header weekend finale but only one team and one driver will come out with the championship.

RPM Raceway is a proud partner of Formula E. We have teamed up to bring you some incredibly exciting opportunities with the upcoming NYC E-Prix:

1. WIN THE ULTIMATE VIP Formula E Experience - In celebration of Formula E returning to Brooklyn we are giving a lucky winner and their friend, the chance to win the ultimate Formula E experience, including; grandstand tickets to the season’s last race, a passenger hot lap of the Red Hook track in a BMW i8 supercar, a chance to meet four-time IndyCar Champion and Formula E commentator Dario Franchitti, priority access to the autograph session and Formula E caps and t-shirts to look the part.

RPM Raceway is excited how Formula E has placed electric racing on the world stage with the development of clean energy, sustainability and electric adoption. Formula E is not just a race but a “technological and sustainable development test bed for some of the leading companies in and out of motor racing to address mobility and environmental issues” and we are honored to be partnered with such a global force of change in the racing circuit and broader world.

Move over Formula 1, we've got a new racer in town! Last year Formula E, the global all-electric racing circuit, made history on the streets of Brooklyn. Hundreds of concrete barriers constructed a 1.21-mile track on the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. The NYC ePrix offered racing fans their first glimpse into this new sport taking the racing world by storm.

Combustion engines may have been invented in 1808, but racing has been in human DNA since the dawn of time. From the first Olympic races in 776, to the ancient greek chariot races documented by Homer, human existence has always been drawn to, addicted to, enthalled by the spirit of racing.

We’ve all been there – tasked with planning a party.  Or, better yet, an office party.   The planning process brings along the obvious checkpoints; the venue, the theme, the attendees, but what makes planning more of a daunting task are all of the details that will lend to an unforgettable, authentic event that will go off without a hitch.
