Description

You do not need a Detroit Grand Prix Ticket to attend this event but you must register for our photowalk to participate. We will be photographing the INDY NXT by Firestone Qualifying - Race #1 & Race #2 starting at 4:45pm. In 2023, the pathway to North America’s premier open-wheel racing series has a fresh, more youthful and energetic final level: INDY NXT by Firestone. Formerly known as Indy Lights, INDY NXT features a new generation of global racing talent, competing vigorously for podiums and the opportunity to join the elite ranks of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. The 2023 INDY NXT by Firestone championship will compete on the same tracks and on the same weekends as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES events, providing further exposure to the series. The series schedule consists of three doubleheader weekends: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, Streets of Detroit and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, where the 2023 INDY NXT champion will be crowned.

Our First Photowalk at a Grand PrixWe are excited to announce that this will be our first time hosting a photowalk at this event. As a result, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate unfamiliar territory. Please note that this year's event is in a new location, and it may take some time to find the ideal spot for photography. The Detroit Grand Prix is a crowded event, and while we will do our best to secure a location where the cars are visible, we cannot guarantee that each photowalk will have access to a prime spot. We are at the mercy of the crowd. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make this event a success. We are confident that with your help, we can capture some amazing photographs and create a memorable experience. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at the Detroit Grand Prix photowalk. Event CostsThere will be a $30 fee to attend the event. This fee helps cover a portion of our booth rental and ensures that people who register actually show up, as there are limited spots available. Please note that we can only host 12 people per walk, so it is important to secure your spot as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we believe that the fee is necessary to provide you with the best experience possible. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you at the event!
