Your Personal Race Weekend Checklist!

Being prepared is key! Yes, the July weather is awesome in Toronto and yes, the entertainment is wild and crazy but, we want to make sure that more than that- you have the best weekend possible and that means being prepared!

  • Sunscreen, sunglasses and hats! Honda Indy Toronto is right smack dab in the middle of the summer so it’s going to be sunny! Protect your eyes and your skin from harmful UV rays. Cover up and leave race weekend with a sweet tan instead of looking like a lobster.
  • Portable phone charger! Isn’t technology neat? It’s going to be a long day out on the track and you’ll be Tweeting, Facebooking and Instagramming all about your #IndyTO experience. Bring a portable phone charger so you’ll never have to work about your phone.
  • Sharpies! Who knows who you’ll meet roaming around the race grounds? Make sure you have a sharpie on hand in case you happen to run into James Hinchcliffe or Marco Andretti while heading to grab some food. Don’t let an autograph opportunity pass you by!
  • Paddock Pass! Let us help you run into those IndyCar stars. The best place to meet Will Power is in the paddocks. Not sure what paddocks are? Don’t worry, we’ve got the 411 on them here.
  • Pick up an official race program! We’ve got TONS of series going on for you this weekend and for the talented few of you that can name every driver, their number, date of birth and hometown- it’ll be a breeze. But for the rest of us without crazy awesome memories, the official race program will keep you up to date on who’s racing in which series without all the confusion. You can pick them up at all merchandise locations!
  • Seat cushions! For all you grandstand dwellers, make sure you pick up a seat cushion for the utmost comfort.
  • Binoculars, scanners and small cameras! Enjoy every ounce of the madness.
  • Schedules, track maps and track crossing times! Go to hondaindy.com to print out these handy documents to plan the most out of your weekend.
  • Tickets! If you haven’t got them, check out hondaindy.com. If you do- double check you packed them! Nothing worse than having to turn around because you left them on the kitchen table.
  • Honda Indy Toronto gear! We LOVE seeing all the flashback gear from previous years. It’s one of our favorite parts of race weekend! Wear your hats and shirts with pride, race fans! Don’t have any gear yet? Don’t you worry- you can purchase on-site!
  • Follow us on Social Media! You like prizes, we like giving you prizes. You like the inside scoop on all this racing, we like giving the inside scoop. You like behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, we like showing you the sneak peeks. You get the picture. Follow us on all our social media channels to get the best #IndyTO experience and interact with us online all weekend long!
