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.
