LEXINGTON, ON, October 11, 2016 – Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course has announced its 2017 spectator event schedule and that tickets will go on sale to the public October 17.

The historic race course’s four major professional events and dates are:

  • July 28-30: The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, with the Verizon IndyCar Series

“Over the past several years we have been fortunate to see our attendance grow for our spectator events,” said Craig Rust, President of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. “If you’re a fan of motorsports, even a casual fan, there is nothing like enjoying a race weekend at the track, especially one like Mid-Ohio located in the beautiful Ohio countryside.”

In addition to its four signature spectator weekends, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course offers racing of all kinds throughout the year, welcoming a staggering number of amateur racing series to the track from April to October. Many of the Weekend Club Events are open to the public for $10 at the gate and are free to Mid-Ohio VIP Season Pass holders.

Among the Weekend Club Events are a variety of Ohio Valley Region Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) competitions, F1600-F2000 races, Northern Ohio and Buckeye BMW, World Racing League, USAudi and CARFEST gatherings, among others. The 2017 schedule for these events will be released in the coming months.

As part of the ticket launch, race fans will also have the opportunity to reserve their camp sites and RV spots for the 2017 season early before they sell out. There is no better way to experience Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course than by staying at the park-like 330-acre complex during an event weekend.
