Central Grandstand A

Turns 5 and 20 on either side of the tight, fast track provide spectators a good view of the action as drivers compete for positions at crucial parts of the fastest street circuit in the world. Your ticket also grants you entry to each of the nightly headlining concerts following the races

Central Grandstand B

Central Grandstand B lets the spectators enjoy double the racing as each car races past them twice in one lap, coming out of Turn 5 into Turns 6, 7, and 8, as well as the high-speed section between Turns 19 and 20, on the opposite side of the track, where F1 drivers will be braking at breathtaking speeds in excess of 200 km/h.

Main Grandstand A

The best seats to witness the race's buildup, start, and pit stops are in Main Grandstand A. With a clear view of the main straight, starting, and finishing lines, Main Grandstand A could be the place to be for first-time racegoers because of the view it provides.

Main Grandstand B

The new Main Grandstand B, which provides views of the first two corners with significant overtaking at race start as well as a distant perspective of the starting, finishing line, and pits, may really be the best of the grandstands for seeing a large majority of the race activities.

Hospitality

In Jeddah, there are two options for trackside hospitality: the more costly Formula 1 Paddock Club and 3-day Premium Hospitality located on the bridge across the track. Both of these areas provide unparalleled views and added premium benefits.

Premium Hospitality

As the name suggests, the premium hospitality seating at the Saudi Arabia F1 GP is an unforgettable experience. Guests can enjoy VIP access to the Grand Prix, with spectacular views of the race from a private suite or box overlooking the track and all its on-track action.

Central Grandstand C

The Central Grandstand C at the Saudi Arabia F1 GP is situated in a prime location not too further down the Start/Finish Line, near turns 4-10. The drivers slow down near the winding corners, offering spectators spectacular views of the cars and potential overtakes, adding to the excitement.

Central Grandstand D

Central Grandstand D offers great views of other parts of the circuit like Turns 17-20. These turns come up quickly and require precision driving to get through them most efficiently.
