Where is the best place to sit at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix 

Bei der Planung Ihrer Reise zu einem Formel-1-Grand-Prix ist es wichtig, dass Sie Ihre Prioritäten klar setzen. Nutzen Sie die Karte oben als Hilfe bei Ihrer Planung.

Firstly, you will need to know what your budget is. The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix is one of the more pocket-friendly races in the region, so maybe you can stretch to the Main Grandstand tickets. From here you can see into the pits, the start/finish and have a good view of the podium.

If budget is your main concern, Jeddah can still offer spectacular views from the Central Grandstands A, B, C and D. Located on the outside of Turns 5 and 6, these seats offer a unique opportunity to see the cars speed past twice in a single lap!

Maybe there are other things to factor in. Is it important to be within dashing distance of the concerts after a day at the track? Are you desperate to see the awards ceremony with a good view of the podium? Are you responsible for children or other racegoers who may need to make a quick getaway?

Tickets for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix are on sale so make sure you don’t miss out on Formula 1’s Arabian adventure.
