On social media, race fans and EDM fans alike caught a glimpse of the stunning Snake Pit helmets that will be presented to some of the biggest DJs in the world before they take the stage in front of a packed crowd inside Turn 3 while 33 of the best drivers in the world take part in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
