2006 Sebring Porsche Parade

Strategically and conveniently located trackside at each American Le Mans Series race are car corrals - the ever-growing and popular fan element involving enthusiasts of Series marques. 

Assisted by large national car clubs that serve as primary hosts, IMSA-facilitated car corrals are manufacturer-sponsored attractions that provide an opportunity for owners of Series marques to socialize with trackside hospitality services, a majority of which feature private grandstands, catering and a welcoming tent. 

Aside from offering exclusive reserved parking for owners of corral-featured marques, IMSA car corral ticket holders enjoy many other amenities including the opportunity to participate in parade laps around the circuit track prior to the weekend Series race. In addition to being eligible for prize drawings, car corral participants can also interact with factory reps, works racing personalities (i.e. auto industry engineers and designers) and legendary racing drivers.

Managed and organized by IMSA, manufacturer-sponsored car corrals have continuously grown steadfast each season. Although the size and number of corrals vary per race depending on the available space at each circuit facility, an IMSA car corral will contain anywhere from 50 to 300 cars.
