An SRO America race weekend delivers far more than just world-class GT racing. From open access to the paddock to interactive fan zones and unforgettable on-track moments, every event is designed to immerse fans in the action from the moment they arrive at the circuit and step through the gates.
SRO America events offer a rare blend of accessibility, excitement, and family-friendly entertainment, all of which is focused on bringing fans closer to the cars, teams, and drivers than anywhere else in the realm of professional racing.
Open Paddock Access
Every ticket includes open paddock access, giving fans an up-close look at the heart of the operation. Stroll through the team areas, watch mechanics work on the elite machinery, and experience the sights and sounds of high-performance GT cars in action.
From GT World Challenge America and GT America powered by AWS, to Pirelli GT4 and TC America powered by Skip Barber Racing School championships, the paddock showcases an incredible variety of race cars and manufacturers, all in an environment that welcomes fans behind the scenes with open arms.
SRO Car Collective
The SRO Car Collective, a non-denominational car corral, is a fan-favorite feature that celebrates automotive culture and community. Participants receive premium designated display parking inside the circuit, offering a unique opportunity to showcase their vehicles alongside fellow enthusiasts.
Many Car Collective packages also include a parade lap, allowing participants to drive their own cars on the same track used by the professionals. Supported by manufacturers and local or national car clubs, the Car Corral area is open and walkable for all fans, making it a must-visit destination throughout the weekend.
Driver Autograph Sessions
Meeting the stars of the show is all part of the SRO America experience. Each championship hosts scheduled autograph sessions, giving fans the chance to meet drivers, collect signed hero cards, take photos, and interact with competitors from across the paddock. These sessions provide a rare opportunity to connect with drivers in a relaxed and approachable setting.
GT World Challenge America powered by AWS Grid Walk
Before Sunday’s GT World Challenge America powered by AWS feature race, fans are invited onto the grid for one of the most electric moments of the weekend. The Grid Walk places spectators directly on the starting grid as teams make final preparations and drivers get ready for battle. It’s a unique chance to experience being surrounded by cars, crews, and championship contenders just moments before the green flag drops.
Fan Zone
Fan Zones serve as the hub of off-track entertainment throughout the weekend. Designed for fans of all ages, these areas feature interactive displays, vendor booths, team merchandise, and sponsor activations. Whether you’re looking to browse through an extensive array of merchandise, relax between sessions, or introduce younger fans to the world of motorsports, the Fan Zone offers something for everyone.
Esports and Sim Racing
Fans can take the driver’s seat themselves through on-site racing simulators located on site within the Fan Zone. These esports stations allow guests to test their skills head-to-head, challenge friends, or experience what it’s like to push a GT car to the limit on the virtual level. With realistic visuals and professional-grade equipment, sim racing adds a hands-on element to the race weekend and connects fans directly to the growing world of esports and digital motorsports.
Camping at the Track
For the ultimate race weekend experience, select SRO America events offer on-site camping options. Iconic venues like Road America and Sebring International Raceway provide camping and RV packages that allow fans to stay just steps away from the action. From early morning practice sessions to evening festivities, camping keeps fans immersed in the event atmosphere all weekend long.
