Officially the event will be opened on Thursday, 14 July. A parade of Aurum 1006 km powered by Hankook race cars will start at 10 am at the track and will stop at Palanga, Vytautas Street for the opening ceremony. The first official race Dynami:t Super Sprint will take place just after the opening.
