Fri, 25 July 2025, 2:00 pm PDTLaguna Seca Indy Car Grand Prix
Needs location
Join CIPPA July 25-27 at Laguna Seca to capture images of the Indy Car Grand Prix. Capturing and composing fast-moving objects at slower shutter speeds and in focus will be the challenge of the weekend. https://www.indycar.com/Schedule/2025/Laguna-Seca

You will need to book your ticket for the race in advance on the Laguna Seca website. I'd recommend the three-day General Admission with Paddock Pass. It is less than buying two-day passes. I'll be driving to Laguna Seca on Friday and driving home after the race on Sunday. https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/INDY2025/6859/event/1405292

Hotel Recommendation - I'd recommend Asilomar, it provides reasonable prices in the area on race weekend, and some places to photograph nearby https://www.visitasilomar.com/
