Harnessing the excitement and the information fans need to know for one of the most anticipated stops on the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix today unveiled its new interactive online digital event guide. Created to provide Grand Prix guests with a powerful platform to plan and enhance their experience at the first-ever INDYCAR street race in Washington, D.C., set for Aug. 22-23, the digital event guide will help fans stay informed and connected from now throughout the course of the two-day celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Available at guide.freedom250gp.com, the mobile-optimized event guide provides instant access to race weekend schedules, interactive event maps, transportation information, key attractions and event details through any smartphone browser, with no app download required. Designed to work natively on mobile devices, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix event guide puts all the pertinent information at fans’ fingertips, ensuring that guests will get up to speed and stay on the lead lap all weekend long.
Developed in collaboration with New York-based Map King, the digital event guide allows guests to personalize their race weekend experience with custom itineraries, navigation of the venue through an interactive map and live updates throughout the event. The guide also highlights fan zones, sponsor activations, hospitality areas, concessions, entertainment destinations and other attractions across the 1.7-mile, seven-turn street circuit around the National Mall.
Fans are encouraged to use the Freedom 250 Grand Prix event guide to plan ahead for the historic weekend that will feature NTT INDYCAR SERIES practice, qualifying and race action, the return of the iconic International Race of Champions (IROC) series, autograph sessions and family-friendly entertainment in the heart of the nation’s capital.
“With hundreds of thousands of fans expected to visit Washington, D.C. for this historic event, the digital event guide is an essential resource to help guests make the most of their Freedom 250 Grand Prix experience,” said Bud Denker, Chairman of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. “Whether fans are planning their day before leaving home or navigating the venue on-site during race weekend, this online guide has all the information our guests need to maximize their visit to the Grand Prix.”
With no designated parking for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix and large crowds expected for the weekend, the digital event guide is also a valuable resource for the best ways to access the venue.
