Information for Media
Do you want to take pictures of our cars?
You May Need a Media Pass
We love to see enthusiastic photographers and videographers get involved with our event. However, we do require everyone that is outside of the designated spectator’s areas to be registered with LGGPR. Â
Â
Media Credential Application Deadline
All media credential requests must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the event. This allows our team sufficient time to review applications, verify credentials, and familiarize approved photographers and videographers with our event procedures and safety requirements. Due to the limited number of media personnel permitted within restricted areas of the road course, requests submitted after the deadline may not be considered. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval or access to restricted areas.
RULES FOR ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS
- All photographers required to wear the LGGPR-provided safety vest when inside restricted areas (must be returned after event)
- Photographers are required to follow instructions from marshals and corner workers at all times
- Photographers will use their own personal vehicles to change locations periodically through the day
- Photographers MUST notify a corner worker that they want to change location BEFORE they move
- Corner workers have the last word on whether or not a location is acceptable. If a corner worker feels a position in unsafe, the photographer must move, no questions asked.
- All location changes must take place between sessions when the pace car is on course
- All Photographers agree that the LGGPR Inc. may use photos/videos taken by them during the event in print or digitally for marketing purposes. LGGPR does not own the images/video but has perpetual rights to use the images/video.
- All Photographers agree to upload photos on a photo service website (currently Zenfolio.com) primarily for the purpose of allowing registered drivers to download photos of their car, but they may also purchase merchandise with the images printed at their discretion. Any excess funds from purchases will go back into the general event fund.Â
- All photographers are required to sign both the LGGPR liability waiver and our Insurance liability waiver
- After reviewing your application, LGGPR will contact you with further information
- All photographers are guests of LGGPR and may be asked to leave if they do not follow these rules.
