With over 3,000 hot rods, muscle cars, trucks, classic cars performance late models and about 12,000 fans who accompany them, the Milford kick-off represents the largest group ever of "civilians" to visit the installation of secure test.


The
MPG (Milford Proving Ground) is the automotive equivalent of "Area 51", serving as the primary test facility for future GM products. When it opened in 1924, MAG was the first dedicated to the world automotive manufacturer test facility. Today, it covers about 4000 hectares and contains more than 130 miles of driving surfaces of all types, including a 3.8-mile oval track, and a 4.5 mile circular track with steep bank that allows vehicles to be driven around it up to 120 mph without the need for steering input. The "Black Lake" buffer zone is a 67-acre of bitumen used for a variety of vehicle dynamics test. Special certification is required for drivers on some of the tracks.

MPG is also home to the safety of
GM vehicles Lab and impact resistance, where vehicles are crash-test during development, as well as vehicle-build facilities, where the prototypes of future vehicles are built by hand prior to testing.

With countless prototypes and many models in the near future that roam its roads in camouflage, photographers spies constantly try to capture events in MPG. 
The current Chase is an overview of the next generation Corvette, which is known to be under development.

Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour participants and visitors to the Proving Ground June 2 will follow the strict security, including where they can and can not take photos - but GM is offering unprecedented access, including visits and the turn-and-discs on several tracks.
