The Track
The new and exciting track features 13 corners, fast straights and seven fantastic grandstands to view all the action from.
Mouse over the grandstands for a brief description of the view you will see.
GRANDSTAND 1
Your seat is facing the pit lane. A few meters from your seat, the teams' pit-stalls are a scene of intense and frenzied activity during practice, qualifying and the race as cars visit the pits area. See the drivers' introduction, all the final preparations before the start of the race. Your seat also gives you a great overall view of the whole track and a spectacular view of the series of manoeuvres required in corners # 7 to # 12. You are also a short walk away from the paddock area. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.
GRANDSTAND 10
Your seat is facing corner # 1. A few meters from the track, you will see drivers doing intense braking at the end of the main straightaway to enter the tight first left turn. This is one of the best passing zones of the track, often the scene of spectacular manoeuvres and incidents likely to change the course of the event. Your seat provides you also good views of all the northern part of the track. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.
GRANDSTAND 10A
A platform reserved exclusively to disabled customer. A few meters from the track, the platform is located near corner # 1. It also provides good views of all the northern part of the track. A limited number of wheelchairs can be accommodated on the platform. A giant screen allows you and one accompanying adult (sitting on a chair) to follow the action at all times. The ticket also gives access to a designated parking area.
GRANDSTAND 11
Your seat is facing corner # 1. A few meters from the track, you will see drivers doing intense braking at the end of the main straightaway to enter the tight left turn. This is one of the best passing zones of the course. In addition, your seat provides you good views of the pit lane exit and of the manoeuvres required in corners # 10, # 11 & # 12. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.
GRANDSTAND 12
Your seat is facing corner # 13, the Southeast hairpin. A few meters from the track, you will see drivers doing intense braking to enter corner # 13, the second of the two hairpins on the course and one of the best passing zones. You will see them slowing down to enter the hairpin, do their double-right manoeuvre before accelerating toward the finish line. Here again, as many cars may enter the hairpin inches apart and fight fiercely for position, the issue of the event could change on the very last corner of the race. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.
GRANDSTAND 20
Your seat is facing corners # 6 to # 9. A few meters from the track, you will see drivers exiting corner # 4, and on their way back manoeuvring into the combination of right and left turns made of corners # 6 to # 9 after they have exited corner # 5, the Northwest hairpin. In addition, your seat also provides good views on corners # 10, # 11 & # 12. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.
GRANDSTAND 22
