Grandstands V1 and V2

Located in front of the pits and grid, the V1 and V2 Grandstands are the largest covered stands on the track. You are in the center of the action with huge displays in front of you and the F1 fan zone just behind these stands. Watch turn one and a portion of the first sector from your seats. You can also access the free Ferris Wheel from here.

Grandstands A1 and A2

The A1 and A2 stands, which are close to the V Grandstands, provide a fantastic view of the vehicles entering turn 1. With views of Turn 1, you can observe the mayhem on the opening lap. The first few corners of the race, which are as legendary as any on the F1 calendar, are best viewed from these seats.

Grandstands B1 and B2

You will have a fantastic overall view of the first sector of the course from the pair of B1 and B2 grandstands, which are located outside of Turn 2. Although this grandstand is situated far from the track, its distance does not compromise your view. You will experience a few of the early "S" turns and see the vehicles fade farther uphill into the first sector because the Suzuka course is hilly.

Grandstand C

The well-known C Grandstand is located just next to the B Grandstands. You are near to several amenities immediately behind your seats and can reach the main fanzone in about 10 to 15 minutes. Similar to the A stands, there will be a lot of wheel-to-wheel action, with the opening corners serving as a frequent location for passing.

Grandstands D and E

The "S" curves of Suzuka are legendary and a must-experience for F1 fans, much like Eau Rouge in Spa and Parabolica in Monza. The D & E grandstands are the greatest places to watch this series of turns in that regard. You can clearly see why Suzuka is one of the driver's favorite tracks because the opening sector is so difficult. There is minimal room for error because these corners are surrounded by grass and gravel.

Grandstand I

The I Grandstand offers the benefit of viewing the primary overtaking location on the entire circuit because it is located directly on the exit of the renowned hairpin. There will be plenty of photo possibilities here because the vehicles pass by at a moderate speed, especially on the first lap. Many people who want to see overtaking choose I Grandstand as their preferred option.

Grandstands Q1 and Q2

Just past the 130R exit, along the last chicane, are a pair of Q Grandstands. Here, you'll have some of the best track views; turn to the right to watch F1 drivers accelerate out of the renowned 130R bend before braking for the final chicane. The final corner and main straight are to your left, and because these stands are higher than the ground, you can see the first sector with ease.

Grandstands R and S

The last two grandstands before the start/finish straight are called the R&S Grandstands, and they are situated at the final chicane's exit and the last corner. Here, you can see the chicane, one of the track's more popular places for passing, as well as the pit entry and the DRS activation area. As the chequered flag is raised, observe it being flown with the finish line straight in front of you.

General Admission

Even though general admission spectators' views are likely to be less exciting than those of grandstand spectators, they have an advantage because they can move around and switch viewing spots while the race is in progress. The best spots to view the action are in the General Admission areas close to turns 14 and 15.
