LEWIS CENTER, Ohio (December 22, 2025) – Bring a Trailer, a premier online auction platform known for its curated listings, is offering a VIP experience at the 2026 Indianapolis 500 weekend (from May 21 to May 24), which includes a number of unique events courtesy of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing
Bidding is open at https://bringatrailer.com/listing/a-vip-weekend-experience-at-2026-indy-500/ from now until December 26, 2025. Complete details are available on the site.
This experience is offered on behalf of the Road Racing Drivers Club, and the winning bid for this no-reserve auction, including the BaT buyer’s fee, will be donated to The Mark Donohue Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization created by the RRDC to help further the goals of the SAFEisFAST initiative, which promotes driver education and safety.
“We at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing are excited to be able to offer such a unique experience for the Indy 500 fans out there,” said RRDC president Bobby Rahal. “We hope to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for that special bidder, while at the same time helping support a significant RRDC initiative that benefits all racers.
“And, I’m happy to announce that we just added a special race-day perk for the winner: watching the race from my personal third-level private suite overlooking Turn 2.”
The package does not include air or ground transportation to or from Indianapolis, Indiana. Lodging is the responsibility of the winning bidder, and a three-night stay at the J.W.Marriott Downtown Indianapolis has been reserved for optional purchase. The experience is nontransferable and valid only during the 2026 Indy 500 event.
