TRAVEL ADVICE...

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is probably the most famous race track in the world and the largest spectator facility on the planet! Recently celebrating its 100th anniversary, the city has long ago overtaken the track, thus it is one of the few MotoGP venues in a totally urban setting.

GETTING TO INDIANAPOLIS
While Indianapolis has an international airport; all the international flights are from Canada and Mexico - there are a no direct flights from Europe.

However there are a couple of good strategies for getting here:
Low-cost carriers:
Try a European flight to a destination served by a low cost carrier to Indy.
Airtran (www.airtran.com) runs cheap direct flights from Florida (Orlando and several others), New York LaGuardia, Washington DC (Reagan), Milwaukee and Atlanta.
Southwest (www.southwest.com) also has great internal fares from Baltimore/Washington (BWI), Las Vegas, Chicago (Midway), Orlando, Tampa Bay and a couple of others.
Frontier from Denver.

Chicago & drive
Since Chicago is well served internationally, you might consider jumping off there and simply doing a car hire or train.

Trains
Indianapolis is well served by Amtrak (amtrak.com) from Chicago and most major East Coast cities. The station is virtually walking distance from our downtown hotels.

Or simply book a connecting flight to Indy on several major airlines include Delta, Continental, Northwest, American, Canadian, Midwest, United.

In any case, let us know how you are arriving, we can organise airport pickup from Indianapolis, or if you are a larger group we can organise van collection from Chicago.

We can organise flights for groups as well - please enquire.

GETTING TO THE TRACK
There isn't much in the way of public transport: catch bus route 25 from downtown - runs hourly, takes 28 minutes and doesn't run at all on Sunday... See indygo.net for specialist services for the weekend.

Your main options are drive or taxi.

If you are on package with us we take you there and back of course - nothing to worry about!

PARKING
There is ample parking at the track, some free parking,
Motorcycle parking is free, enter through gate 2.
There is free parking in Lot 7 (North 40) near gate 10. There is an internal tram to help you make the hike. Various paid parking exists around the track - see the web site redbullindianapolisgp.com

If you have purchased hospitality from us (Corner 9 or VIP Village) please ask us for a parking pass. Normally allocated 1 to 4 tickets; we are likely to have a spare one or two.

GETTING TO YOUR HOTEL
We can pick you up for the downtown hotels, or simply grab a taxi - the hotels are about 9 miles; should cost you about $20.

GETTING AROUND INDY
Unless you want to decipher the bus system, just drive/taxi around. Note Friday and Saturday nights S Meridian Street between W Maryland and South street is CLOSED to all but Motorcycles. Great place to walk to (and just a few blocks from our downtown hotels!)
