Tickets are not on sale yet. When sales begin, the Tickets button on this page will list the available categories. We do not quote prices, and early booking normally gives the best choice.

Planning an IndyCar Washington DC trip

Washington has an extensive public transport network, which is often the easiest way to reach a street circuit when roads are closed. Accommodation is spread across the city and nearby suburbs, but wait for the date before you pay for anything non-refundable. Neighbouring rounds without dates include IndyCar Markham, IndyCar Milwaukee and IndyCar Laguna Seca. Session times will be released by the organiser a few weeks before the event.
