In terms of items permitted at the track, clear bags, hand sanitizer, sunblock, and other items are allowed. However, items like coolers, camera bags, aerosol cans, drones, and selfie sticks are not allowed at the race track. Even in terms of camping, the concerned parties have to maintain social distancing. There will also be designated staff to help sanitize any spectators when needed.
