The NTT IndyCar Series will no longer have its Paddock Club hospitality unit in event paddocks starting from 2024. This unit was used for VIP entertainment, meetings, and IndyCar staff catering during events, but with upgrades to on-site facilities at various tracks and the presence of large hospitality suites managed by partners like Hy-Vee in Iowa, the need for the portable facility has decreased. Many of these suites offer guests better viewing experiences than the Paddock Club, which was not designed for spectating purposes. IndyCar plans to utilize on-site corporate facilities and partner-managed suites more extensively, providing benefits such as closer proximity to pits and pre-race ceremonies, while also supporting event promoters.
