Default Corvette Car Corral Experience: Detroit Grand Prix 2015

Well then. My brother just bought tickets for me to take the '65 to the Corvette Car Corral Experience at the Detroit Grand Prix. I'm glad I got it back on the road.

Has anyone here done this before?

It includes:
- Premium Corvette Corral Parking on Belle Isle
- Reserved Seating in Grandstand 2
- Paddock Pass
- Pit Tour
- Hospitality Tent Access (includes breakfast, lunch & snacks)
- Corvette Stingray & Corvette Racing Technical Briefs
- Daily Corvette Track Parade Laps (subject to track availability)
- Driver Meet & Greet
- Autograph Sessions
- Daily raffles with Corvette Racing Merchandise

You had to pay an extra fee for that? At Road America all of that is included with the general ticket, except the parade lap.

Yes, a number of us have done it and yes, it's worth it. Particularly for the on-island parking and the hospitality tent.

I've been to Road America as well and the two Corvette corrals are nothing alike.

Default absolutely worth the money

I attended for the first time this year, the on island parking was great, food and non alcoholic drinks provided at hospitality tent, paddock passes for up close views of cars and teams, and three awesome laps of the track. No we couldn't wind the cars up but stretched their legs a little. great time in all. PS bring sun screen!!

I bought our tickets the first day they came on sale. Always a great time, and the drive on the track is a ball.

Who's all going this weekend? Hopefully the forecast changes before Saturday.

The Caravan from Matick Chevrolet to Belle Isle is a blast! Post up if you're meeting up Saturday Morning!

I'll be going to Matick on Sat, thinking of taking the C1, but the wife is more comfortable in the C7. Our friends went last year and said it was a blast.
