Media Credential Request

We welcome photographers to our events when they register with ChampCar and agree to our standards and policies.

ChumpCar International Inc. does not compensate photographers for services at the track. Any profits are derived from direct sales to race teams and their friends and families.

ChumpCar International Inc. may distribute marketing materials you provide for your company or small business through social media or print advertising at the track when requested.

ChumpCar International Inc. requests licensing of your photos through a Creative Commons license with attribution, allowing us to distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work for promotional and commercial marketing. We will credit you or your company for all work used. Example: low-resolution web images of 1500 px wide for use on our website or social media platforms.

Some venues may require a separate licensing contract or venue media credentials, including VIR Photo / Media Credentials. You will be notified by the event director or media director if additional requirements apply. For more information, email media@champcar.org.
