What was certainly one of the most memorable motorsports experiences and most unique race weekends I’ve ever enjoyed was the NTT INDYCAR SERIES that took place March 22-24 at The Thermal Club near Palm Springs, California. Here are just a few photos I captured at the event. I can’t express how fantastic the organizers, the folks at The Thermal Club, the teams and competitors, the residents, fans, and sponsors were.
The Thermal Club’s $1 Million Challenge event included a two-day Open Test, group qualifying sessions, two heat races and a 12-car “all-star” race with $1.756 million at stake – the largest purse for an INDYCAR SERIES race outside of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.
The Twin Palms track at the Thermal Club is a 3.067-mile (4.82-km) raceway which includes a highly demanding trajectory on top to get to a total of 19 turns. The layout consists of sweepers, tight corners, long straightaways, and elevation changes, providing a proper driving and engineering challenge to teams.
Look forward to the opportunity to do it again!
