These are the fastest ways to move from interest to a real arrive-and-drive conversation.

How arrive and drive works

Get clear on what you bring, what the team provides, and what you should confirm before you book.

Choose an event and team

Start with the public schedule, then compare programs that race in your region and fit your experience level.

Confirm exactly what is included

Ask about the car, entry fee, test day, fuel, tires, crew, coaching, data, meals, lodging, and any additional charges.

Agree on price and responsibility

Seat pricing and stint length vary. Get payment terms, cancellation policy, mechanical-failure policy, and crash-damage responsibility in writing.

Prepare before race weekend

Confirm membership, licensing, required driver gear, arrival time, team communications, and the current BCCR and event supplemental rules.

Important: ChampCar provides this directory as a member service. A listing is not an endorsement, and seat availability can change without notice. Contact the team directly and confirm deliverables, payment terms, cancellation and mechanical-failure policies, coaching, insurance, and crash-damage responsibility in writing. Before race weekend, review the current ChampCar rules and event supplements.

Find an arrive-and-drive team

Search the directory by team, car, region, experience, support, or contact information.
