If you want to witness the ultimate spectacle in motorcycle racing, the Valencia MotoGP is the race for you. In the traditional finale of the racing season, the championship could be all to race for into the final few laps of the year. And the Circuit Ricardo Tormo is the perfect location for both riders and fans in the grandstands.
As far as race tracks go, for spectators, it doesn’t get better than Valencia. This short, fast lap is built with grandstands lining the outer perimeter. As the track turns in on itself twice and is just 4km long, fans can see the entire circuit from almost any stand on the circuit.
And for the season finale, the bowl-like grandstand set-up generates a stadium atmosphere for the conclusion of the season. There’s nowhere better to close out a year of hard racing.
Best grandstands to watch the Valencia MotoGP
Purple
Seat type: Grandstand seating
Big screen: Yes
Covered: No
Numbered seating: Yes
Book now
The Purple grandstand is above the pits of Circuit Ricardo Tormo. This lends itself to incredible views of the start of the race, and the chequered flag on the race and MotoGP season. You’ll be able to peer into the pits as the riders make their way out on track and, should it be a flag-to-flag race, the chaos of the bike swaps in the rain. If you book a box, this is where you will see the action.
Orange
Seat type: Grandstand seating
Big screen: Yes
Covered: No
Numbered seating: Yes
The Orange grandstand is located right by turn one. You will experience the thrill of more than 20 MotoGP bikes powering down together as the jockey for positions through the first intermediate. This is a prime spot to see who makes the best start to the race, and you’ll witness plenty of overtakes get completed into turn 1 off the main straight. Customers who have visited in the past rate this grandstand as 4.3/5 and recommend spectators pack binoculars to better view the big screens.
Yellow
Seat type: Grandstand seating
Big screen: Yes
Covered: No
Numbered seating: Yes
The Yellow grandstand is located perpendicularly to the Orange stand, along the straight between turns 1 and 2. Here you’ll see the fast exit out of the sweeping turn 1, and the looping hairpin at turn 2. Both make excellent overtaking opportunities for the riders. Thanks to the layout of the circuit, you will have a view of the whole first intermediate and will be able to see some of the corners in the latter half of the lap from your seat. Fans who have visited in the past have given this stand a rating of 4.7/5, and Amanda commented: “We were in the yellow stand and had an amazing view of most of the track”.
Blue
Seat type: Grandstand seating
Big screen: Limited view
Covered: No
Numbered seating: Yes
The Blue grandstand is between turns 2 and 6. It gives fans a few of the bikes passing through several corners in the first half of the lap. The Blue grandstand also benefits from an extension, that stretches behind the main stand between sectors 15 and 36. This added elevation gives fans an excellent view across the entire track. While it does take you further away from the trackside, the views more than make up for it.
Green
Seat type: Grandstand seating
Big screen: Yes
Covered: No
Numbered seating: Yes
The Green grandstand is right next to the Blue stand, and is the biggest stand on the track. This lines the track along the straight section between turns 6 and 7, where the bikes will build huge speed, but offers panoramic views from turn 4 to turn 13. Fans give this grandstand a 4.4/5 rating, with one spectator commenting: “This is a great track for spectators. The ‘green’ seating gives a view of most of the track with a large video screen opposite and some great photo opportunities when the riders do their practice starts right opposite.”
Red
Seat type: Grandstand seating
Big screen: No
Covered: No
Numbered seating: Yes

The Red Grandstand, right next to Green, gives awesome views from Turn 7 right through to the final turn 14. This really puts the riders to the test as they battle through the high-speed second-half of the lap. This stand also has a high rating amongst customers at 4.2/5. One fan is quoted reviewing the Red Grandstand by saying the views here “allowed us to see most of the overtaking moves”.
White
Seat type: Grandstand seating
Big screen: No
Covered: No
Numbered seating: Yes

The White grandstand is the most popular at Circuit Ricardo Tormo. It provides views of the riders coming through the final bends and powering along the start-finish straight. Dave, who visited in 2017, reviewed this stand by saying “We were in the Blanco (White) section of the racetrack on the last bend before the finishing line and it has a very good view of most of the track.”
