The Ground Pass at Circuit of the Americas for WEC Lone Star Le Mans grants general admission access to the venue with the ability to use permanent grandstands throughout the circuit. This ticket includes paddock access, pit walk privileges, and an autograph session, offering fans multiple ways to experience the event beyond trackside viewing.
What is included with a Ground Pass and Paddock Access at Circuit of the Americas?
A Ground Pass provides general admission entry to the circuit with access to permanent grandstands positioned around the track. Beyond the standard admission, this ticket tier unlocks exclusive experiences: you can walk through the paddock to see the cars and teams up close, participate in a pit walk to view the pit lane infrastructure, and attend an autograph session with drivers or team personnel.
This combination makes the Ground Pass ideal for fans who want flexibility to move around the venue and experience multiple vantage points rather than being fixed to a single grandstand seat. You are not assigned to a specific numbered seat, so you can explore different areas throughout the day and take advantage of the big screen facilities available around the circuit to follow the action when you are away from the trackside.
The paddock access and pit walk are the standout benefits of this category, offering behind-the-scenes access that general admission alone does not provide. These experiences give you direct sight of the teams' operations and a chance to meet drivers during the autograph session.
