Duration

About the Course

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES Championship Weekend makes its highly anticipated return to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for the 2026 Season Finale, taking place September 4–6, 2026. Join us to learn how to capture action shots and convey motion. We plan to leave Friday AM and return after the race Sunday night. The drive is 5 to 6 hours, depending on traffic.

Book tickets - Link to Event ticketing. I typically book a three-day grounds and Paddock Pass.

Hotel Reservation - Link to Asilomar Hotel. I usually stay at Asilomar so I can photograph coastal scenery when not at the track. Many other hotels are available, but I would book as soon as you can. Prices during race weekend increase as hotels fill up. You may want to share a room and carpool to reduce outing costs. Food is available on site.

TechTalk: We've scheduled a tech talk before the event to discuss shooting how-tos. Information about the event, and answer any questions about the course, event, and capturing motion. We will also discuss shooting locations and how to prepare for the types of shoots you will experience.
