What is the difference between “pit” and “paddock” passes?
In road racing, a pit pass is a very special, limited-access credential that requires special insurance waivers to be signed and is really only for participants, media and officials; it is like being courtside during a Jazz game. The paddock pass is what other forms of racing call a pit pass, and gives everyone access to the area where the teams park, work on their cars and relax between races. Most tracks charge extra for this pass, but at MMP paddock passes are not necessary because paddock access is FREE to anyone who holds a ticket to get into the event (except for the HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship event).
