- Presets: Mexico City Grand Prix, Baja 1000 in Los Cabos, and a NASCAR Mexico weekend
- Everything is editable. The starting numbers are placeholders, not quotes. Replace them with real prices for your dates
- Verified figures: NASCAR Mexico tickets from about US$15 (Aguascalientes) and US$45 (Yucatán, both days); Mexico City Metro fare MXN 5; SJD airport shuttles US$15–25
- Watching the Baja 1000 from the course is free, so the ticket field starts at zero for that preset

How to Fill It In
| Line | Where to get a real number |
|---|---|
| Race tickets | Official sellers only. The Mexico City GP sells through Ticketmaster México; NASCAR Mexico sells through the series and local promoters; there is no ticket for watching the Baja 1000 from the course |
| Flights | Price your actual dates. Mexico City (MEX) and Los Cabos (SJD) both have wide US nonstop service |
| Lodging | Race weekends sell out and rates jump. See where to stay for the Mexico City GP and the Los Cabos travel guide |
| Local transport | Mexico City: Metro at MXN 5 a ride. Los Cabos: shuttles US$15–25, taxis about US$35–60, rental cars plus mandatory Mexican insurance at about US$20–25 a day |
| Food | Taquerías and markets run a few dollars a meal; hotel and resort dining is several times that |
