Saudi Arabian F1 Grand Prix | Starter Main B Grandstand Package: Your Gateway to F1® Excitement

For fans seeking more than just a seat in the stands, the F1® Experiences Starter Package in the Central B Grandstand offers a compelling entry point into the world of Formula 1®. With a combination of strategic race-day positioning and exclusive access to behind-the-scenes activities, this package transforms your weekend at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit into an in-depth motorsport experience. Scheduled from April 17 to 21, the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix promises a high-speed spectacle on one of F1®’s most visually striking and technically demanding street circuits.

Trackside Drama from Central Grandstand B

Over the course of three race days—Friday through Sunday—guests in the Central B Grandstand are placed at the intersection of velocity and tension. Located between the Starting Grid and Turn 1, this section of the circuit captures some of the most dramatic moments of the weekend. From the pre-race anticipation and the thunderous launch of 20 cars accelerating toward Turn 1, to the intricate dance of overtaking maneuvers and pit strategies, every lap delivers a new burst of adrenaline. Come Sunday, the grandstand also offers a clear line of sight to the podium, allowing spectators to share in the emotion of victory celebrations.

The seating is designed for comfort, with seat-back chairs and ideal sightlines complemented by large HD screens that broadcast every detail from across the circuit. Guests also benefit from grandstand-specific amenities including food and beverage vendors and convenient restroom access. While views may vary slightly depending on seat assignment, the grandstand’s overall location ensures a consistently exciting vantage point.

Exclusive Access on Thursday: A Deeper Dive into Formula 1®

Before the racing even begins, Thursday is dedicated to a set of exclusive activities that offer insight into the inner workings of the sport. First, guests are invited to a private ARAMCO F1® Pit Lane Walk, a rare opportunity to see the garages in full preparation mode. As engineers make final calibrations and mechanics rehearse their pit stops, guests can observe up close the precision and teamwork that underpin race-day success. Because this access is limited to F1® Experiences guests, the pit lane feels far less crowded—creating more chances to spot drivers, team principals, and the occasional celebrity guest.

Also on Thursday, guests can take part in a Guided Track Tour. Riding aboard a flatbed truck, they’ll complete a full lap of the Jeddah circuit while listening to expert commentary on the circuit’s challenges, historical moments, and technical design. It’s a unique chance to see the track through the eyes of those who know it best, with plenty of time for photo stops at signature corners. (Please note: all participants must meet the FIA’s minimum height requirement of 110 cm for safety reasons.)

To cap off the day, a photo opportunity with the Formula 1 World Championship™ trophy offers the perfect keepsake. A professional photographer will capture your moment beside this iconic symbol of motorsport excellence, and high-resolution digital images will be provided for sharing and printing.

Thoughtful Planning for a Streamlined Weekend

One of the key strengths of the Starter Main B Grandstand Package is its efficiency. All exclusive experiences take place on Thursday, leaving Friday through Sunday free for pure race spectating. This means no need to choose between being in the grandstand and taking part in unique activities—you’ll have time for both.

Maximizing Your Grand Prix Weekend

To make the most of your experience, plan ahead. For the Pit Lane Walk, comfortable shoes are recommended as you’ll be on your feet along concrete surfaces. Bringing a camera with good zoom capabilities can help you capture the details of car components and pit crew action. On race days, familiarize yourself with the circuit layout in advance, download the official F1® app for real-time updates, and consider using a radio scanner to listen in on team communications for an extra layer of insight.

As Jeddah’s weather can be intense, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and allow for extra time when moving around the venue due to security and crowds. Beyond the main race, don’t overlook the support series and entertainment happening around the Fan Zone—they add another dimension to the weekend atmosphere.

A Well-Rounded Introduction to the World of F1®

Whether you’re a first-time spectator or returning for another season, the Starter Package with Central B Grandstand seating offers one of the most comprehensive and value-packed ways to experience the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. It combines a premium location with rare access to behind-the-scenes elements of the sport, all without the price tag of top-tier hospitality.

From walking the pit lane and riding the circuit to witnessing the starting lights and final lap from a key vantage point, this package doesn’t just show you the race—it draws you into it. Availability is limited due to the exclusivity of certain experiences, so early booking is strongly advised to secure your spot at one of Formula 1®’s most exciting events on the calendar.
