Enjoy special access to the “pits” where you can get an up-close view of all the sights and sounds of this iconic race. You can experience the thrill of victory as you cheer for your favorite driver. All in TAG Heuer style! And long after the checkered flag has been raised, you will be able to enjoy the all-black CARRERA Automatic Chronograph. The TAG Heuer CARRERA was famously created by Jack Heuer in 1963 in tribute to the famous CARRERA Panamericana auto race. The timepiece broke traditional watchmaking rules and was the first chronograph specifically designed for the professional driver thanks to a simple, open-face design. CARRERA celebrates speed, risk-taking and never cracking under pressure. TAG Heuer, defining Swiss avant-garde watchmaking since 1860, has been striving to push the boundaries further, inventing outstanding timepieces for those who love to defy convention. Forever epitomized by the #DontCrackUnderPressure motto and their historical ties to motor racing, TAG Heuer drives beyond the traditions of the watchmaking industry. It’s much more than an affirmation; it’s a state of mind. Valid only during the Indy 500 race in May 2020. Date subject to change. No exchanges or refunds on TAG Heuer timepiece. Trip details to be booked through TAG Heuer. Donated By: TAG Heuer and Bachendorf ’s 74
