Circuit of the Americas has started selling tickets to the Corvette Corral at the Lone Star Le Mans race on September 16 & 17.

I just bought mine this week, hope to see some of you out there! It was a good time last year with a speech and Q&A with Doug Fehan and other folks from the GM Corvette team, as well as a meet & greet with the drivers. Not to mention the parade lap, see pic below

What exactly do you get for $140?

1 lap around COTA in your vette and a weekend pass?

daleong

If its the same as last year -

Multi-grandstand weekend tickets (sit anywhere you want basically)
Corvette only prime parking spots
Parade lap with photo on Friday
Corvette hospitality tent with refreshments, light snacks
Raffles for Corvette/GM gear, misc items
Speeches/Q&A with Corvette Racing Mgmt, Corvette GM engineers and key suppliers (Mobil 1)
Driver autograph session with free posters

Sounds cool. Whats the parade lap like? I can't imagine they let you get on it at all

daleong

Here is a quick video clip. You can get on it a little bit.. but still cool if you've never driven the track.

I'm going. Corral will be inside the fence, right outside Turn 19 this year. It'll be my first IMSA race, so needless to say, I'm looking forward to it! Longest road trip in my vette so far.

daleong

Awesome! Will see you there, I think the turn 19 spot will be good.

Cozmo

I'll be there.

daleong

BUMP!

Anyone else going next month to Lone Star Le Mans?

Just bought my Corral tickets. there are only 3 Corvette corral tickets left as of this morning.

See y'all out there! BTW when are the parade laps??

daleong

Last year the parade laps were on Friday, around lunchtime.

Marcho Polo

crap, forgot to get mine and now the Corvette corral is sold out.

If anyone is not able to go let me know. I may just buy the "General" section so I can at least get on the track.

Do they take each car group together? Different groups on different days?

daleong

Yea the Porsche corral did their parade laps early on Saturday last year. Corvette was on Friday and I think all the other brands were Friday night!! In the dark!

DefMunkie

Thanks! I just confirmed with my sales rep that Parade Laps will be on Friday lunchtime (11am) for Corvettes.

Ask for Jade Reider, she is by far my favorite person to interact with at CoTA for tickets and options. She might be able to help and/or guide you on the available options.

I'm considering rolling up Friday afternoon and grabbing a camping spot.

Marcho Polo

called and they can't do anything. So....

EDIT:

Jade was not available when I called, but I called again and got someone else that did sell me tickets for my wife and I for the Corvette Corral! So I'm all set.

DefMunkie

Happy to hear it worked out! See you out there!
