This year, thousands of motorsport fans were able to flock back to grandstands and see their favourite racers out on track for the first time since the pandemic. But millions would have experienced FOMO, continuing to follow the action sunk into their sofa. This Christmas is your chance to be their memory-making hero.
We’ve compiled a round-up of the top tickets and experiences you can book this Christmas to take them back to their favourite races in 2022. From race recommendations to gift vouchers, and a few other motorsport necessities to get prepared for what will be a monumental racing season, everything any racing fan could wish for this Christmas is right here.
Best Christmas presents for motorsport fans
Take them to a Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2022
The ultimate gift for any Formula 1 fan must be tickets to a Grand Prix. If you’re buying for someone who has already been to a race, then you’ll already know about the experience you’ll be gifting them. But if you’re booking tickets for someone who has never been to a race, you’ll be getting them an experience they’ll never forget.
Every race is its own festival of speed: hours of racing action on track, fun and entertainment away from the circuit. Not only is a Grand Prix weekend a lot of fun, but fans come away from their first race with a real appreciation for the speed of the sport – something that isn’t conveyed on the small screen.
This Christmas, the Spanish and Belgian Grands Prix are top races currently on sale, offering fans the chance of a long weekend in Barcelona, or a glimpse of one of F1’s most iconic races at Spa. But races in Bahrain, Hungary, Austria, France and Monaco are also available.

Prefer racing on two wheels? We’ve got them covered
If you’re buying for someone more into racing on two wheels, then tickets still make a great gift. MotoGP has produced two brilliant seasons of racing in the last two years, with two new champions rising to the top of the field.
And this unpredictability is set to continue in 2022, cementing MotoGP’s status as one of the world’s most competitive racing series.
Tickets are now on sale for the Catalunya race in sunny Barcelona, the German MotoGP at the Sachsenring, and the Austrian race at the rural Red Bull Ring. Three very different races to suit all types of fans.

Turn back the clock with Classic racing events
Someone in your life who loves a dose of nostalgia? Then a Classic race event will be the one for them.
Held at iconic racing venues across Europe, Classic events are a celebration of legendary racing cars of the past. Motorsport fans are given the opportunity to witness their favourite machines of the past in all their glory, lapping the tracks on which they garnered their reputations.
Three major events taking place include the Le Mans Classic in France, Spa Classic in Belgium, and the Spa Six Hours – an endurance edition of the classic event.
You’ll see cars like the legendary Le Mans beast Ford GT40, the 1926 championship-winning Bugatti Type 35, and more recent machines including Formula 1 and Le Mans-winning cars.
Check out our Classics tickets offering, and start rolling back the years.
