Why It’s a Bucket-List Race

The highlight is the Foro Sol stadium section, where tens of thousands of fans pack a baseball stadium as cars snake through the final corners and the podium ceremony plays out in front of them. Race weekend also coincides with Día de Muertos, so the city is at its most festive.
