How Drag Day Runs

Unlimited Runs. Unlimited Fun.

There is no run limit and no qualifying. You go as many times as the day allows — the only thing between you and another pass is the length of the queue.

01

Line up

Join the staging lanes. No heat sheets, no bracket — you run when you reach the front.

02

Run the quarter

A timed pass down the Buddh main straight. Every run is recorded; your best one counts.

03

Turn around

The strip is turned around in under 60 seconds, so the queue keeps moving all day.

04

Go again — or go elsewhere

Line up straight back, or head to the drift yard or autocross and return whenever you like.

What your entry covers

StandardDriver + 1You and one co-passenger, included in every entry. Both get paddock access across both days, and they ride with you on your runs.+Add on2 MoreExactly the same pass, for two more people. Bought from your own profile at a nominal charge once your entry is confirmed.=4 PassesThe most any one entrant can bring. Four people, one car, both days.

A pass is entry for the person, not the car — everyone comes in with you, and only the driver runs. Additional passes are priced on the entry page.
