The Zone 1 48 Hours Driver Education at Watkins Glen began in 1975. Continue the tradition and join us for the 45th consecutive year on May 17-19, 2019. Watkins Glen International is the continuation of a road racing tradition dating back to 1948, when sports cars raced on the 6.6 mile course through the village of Watkins Glen. The permanent road course was built in 1956 and has remained the home of a great racing tradition for 55 years.
