Roebling Road Record

Hans Bliss Shatters All-Time Track Record at Roebling Road Raceway SAVANNAH, GA

In a historic display of precision and speed, driver Hans Bliss has etched his name into the legacy of Roebling Road Raceway, shattering the absolute track record during a NASA Southeast event on January 12, 2025.

Driving the No. 1 2004 Stohr WF1 prototype (TTU class), Bliss clocked a blistering lap time of 0:59.368, becoming the first driver in the track’s 66-year history to officially break the one-minute barrier in a competitive sanctioned event. A Record Decades in the Making Roebling Road, a 2.02-mile, 9-turn circuit known for its high-speed sweeping corners and "low-country" Spanish moss, has long been a benchmark for racers in the Southeast.

For years, the elusive "sub-minute" lap was considered the holy grail of the facility. Bliss didn't just break the record; he dismantled it. During the Sunday afternoon session, aided by crisp 40-degree temperatures and unusually calm winds on the main straightaway, Bliss broke the previous record twice in a single session: First Record Lap: 0:59.789 Final Record Lap: 0:59.368
