Hungarian F1 Grand Prix | Starter Apex 1: Front-Row Access to the Hungaroring Circuit’s Decisive Corner

Positioned at one of the most crucial points on the circuit, the Starter Apex 1 package offers a vivid, trackside experience that places fans right at the center of late-race drama. Situated at Turn 14—the final corner before the start/finish straight—this ticket gives you a close look at high-speed decisions and precision driving, along with access to behind-the-scenes activities typically found in more comprehensive packages.

What’s Included in the Starter Apex 1 Experience

This package features a 3-day race ticket from Friday to Sunday in the Apex 1 Grandstand. Seating is uncovered but includes back support, with elevated sightlines over the final turn and into the straight. The grandstand’s location also provides easy access to nearby food stalls and amenities, making it convenient to step away between sessions without missing key action.

On Thursday, your weekend begins early with a series of activities that offer meaningful context and added value. These include the Aramco Pit Lane Walk, where you can observe teams making detailed adjustments to their cars in preparation for race day. The Guided Track Tour provides a ride around the circuit with commentary from hosts who explain the technical layout, racing lines, and important moments from past races. Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to take a professional photo with the Formula 1 World Championship trophy, offering a personal memento from your time at the Grand Prix™.

Front-Row Views of Last-Chance Drama

Turn 14 is a critical feature of the Hungaroring layout—tight and technical, it’s the final opportunity for drivers to line up an overtake or protect their position before crossing the line. From your seat in the Apex 1 Grandstand, you’ll witness this pressure unfold up close. It’s a part of the circuit where drivers are often forced to make split-second decisions that can change the outcome of their race.

The bench seating with back support offers a comfortable place to settle in, while the raised angle of the grandstand allows for a clear view of the last corner and the acceleration down the straight. You’ll be situated just steps away from amenities and refreshments, making it easy to remain engaged in the event without having to stray far from your seat.

The Guided Track Tour offers a slower, more thoughtful look at the Hungaroring, with insights into the kind of precision and risk management that drivers must master.

Finally, the Championship Trophy Photo allows guests to take home a well-produced souvenir that reflects their weekend at one of motorsport’s most enduring venues.

Who It’s For

This package suits a wide range of fans. It’s a great fit for first-time attendees who want to sample the Grand Prix experience without a complex itinerary. It’s also well suited to fans who enjoy high-pressure racing moments, especially where late overtakes and close finishes are likely.
