As race season is gearing up, drop the races your attending below to find some friends at the track! For me, IMSA at Mid Ohio is 100% a GO, and NASCAR at Rockingham is looking positive as well!

I normally find AirBnB to be a ripoff but the $100/night hotel I stayed at in 2023 is now $300/night despite being 45+ minutes away from the track, so I think I'll look there.
I've got tickets for ELMS at Silverstone and Formula E at Monaco so far and might add something else depending on how things go. I have very nearly almost sorted out travel for Monaco which I really need to actually finish doing....
#BTRC British Truck Racing Championship @ Thruxton (100% going - a new one on me!);
#FOS Goodwood Festival of Speed (v. likely);
#ELMS @ Silverstone (hopeful);
Goodwood Revival (maybe);
#BTCC somewhere - probably Brands Hatch;
I really want to attend a rally event one day but I’d have to travel. It’s not really a thing in the American south as far as I know. Which is nuts because it feels like a sport designed by my redneck ancestry.
So I just did the Rolex 24 for the first time and it was unreal 💖 as for the rest of the year, *maybe* WEC at Imola or Spa? And some events back home in the UK, probably at my home track of Brands Hatch 😊
I second Imola! Very affordable, easy to get to from Bologna where you should definitely spend time! Download the Trenitalia app for trains, super easy to navigate.
Oh that's awesome! It helps that I don't have a car and Imola seems to be one of the few tracks around that can be reached with public transport, even with me from the UK 😅
I stayed in Bologna when I went. There are some really good hotels near the train station for like $70 a night and then it's just a nice little mile walk from the train station to the track through a beautiful town
Haha I'm the travel planner for my friends, and the tickets last year was around $90 for the whole weekend with the pit access. Only downside was the line for the Ferrari drivers was insanely long each day.
Go to any car race at Daytona if someone has a lounge pass, can’t see shit from the infield.
Oh, I’ll likely go to a Flat Track race too during bike week. Now that I think about it, was considering Barberville this and New Smyrna Speedway next weekend(s).
Only for sure one is hittinf IMSA at CTMP. maybe The Glen if time and finances permit. Also might try and catch some NASCAR Canada and SCCC races around.
Won't be a lack of racing since I'll be working/volunteering at Toronto Indy, Canadian GP and 2 rallies in Quebec and 1 in Ontario
Plan is all of the @indycar.com schedule except Thermal, and hopefully some @worldofoutlaws.bsky.social and whatever else works out with kids, I mean my schedule.
I go to most race weekends at Road America. Probably going to the Milwaukee Mile this year. Also heading to my first 24 Hours of Le Mans. Would love to meet up with folks, can provide cool photos
They have made a bunch of improvements to the Carousel trail. It’s really nice up there now.
I want to do some more watching by Canada Corner this year as well.
Confirmed indycar at Long Beach and Indy 500, planning on Nashville, may very well do Detroit. Low chance I’ll do Laguna Seca. Don’t really want to consider more than 4 in my budget.
Watkins Glen is a great race to attend. Open access to everywhere at the track, tons of great places to watch, several places where you are VERY close. A bit hilly and no shuttles around the track so you have to walk/bike/ride but it’s lots of fun.
