Become Accredited Media for the Croatia Challenge

The Croatia Challenge – Media Accreditation

The Croatia Challenge is a high-adrenaline motorsport event with challenging terrain and unpredictable conditions. Media coverage is vital to showcase the excitement, and we welcome accredited journalists, photographers, and videographers to join us trackside.

Media personnel will be responsible for their own transport to photo points, but can follow the official club media team for guidance. Please note that due to the terrain, it isn’t possible to maintain minimum distances like in other events, so adherence to safety instructions is essential.

Who Can Apply

Media accreditation is available to:

  • Journalists

  • Photographers

  • Videographers

  • Drone operators (with prior approval and valid pilot license)

Important: Media personnel must be accredited to an outlet such as a magazine, newspaper, or news channel. Team media or non-official personal media will not be eligible.

How to Apply

To request media accreditation, submit your application at least 4–6 weeks before the event. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval, and each application will be reviewed individually.
