Zero Motorcycles joins us for the first time , offering fans a chance to test-ride cutting-edge electric motorcycles . We ’ re grateful to again present Ducati Island by the Main Grandstand . This “ can ’ t miss ” hub for passionate Ducati fans is an annual favorite , and we thank our friends at Ducati for bringing this great activation to our Circuit . And for those looking to keep the party going , the brand-new Red Bull College Zone at Turn 12 will bring high-energy vibes , while Mini Moto debuts as a fun new way to experience the world of two wheels .
The Grand Plaza is once again packed with interactive exhibits , top gear , and the latest innovations from the biggest names in the industry . Lonestar Land invites you to make a lasting memory at Lonestar Tattoo Saloon , while the “ Globe of Death ” in the Support Paddock delivers heart-pounding entertainment .
