Champions Club

Champions Club in Sakhir is positioned away from the Main Straight, directly below the Beyon Grandstand between Turns 10 and 11. Often the scene of several passing manoeuvres, the drivers accelerate away from the tight and technical Turn 10, before passing a DRS zone on their approach to a fast left-hander.

Main Straight Grandstand

Offering a prime view of the starting grid, finish line, and team garages, the Main Straight Grandstand is the perfect choice for fans looking to soak up the pre-race atmosphere and a chance to witness the season’s first race winner celebrate atop the podium.

Our Hero Main Package provides you with 3-day access to the Main Straight Grandstand along with a range of exciting insider activities, including a Guided Track Tour, Pit Lane Walk, and access to our Thursday evening ‘Inside F1®’ event.

Turn 1 Grandstand

Positioned at the end of the Main Straight, the Turn 1 Grandstand provides a great view of one of the circuit’s key overtaking spots. Spectators will see plenty of action here as the drivers brake from 320 km/h as they approach the first corner apex.

While seated here, fans can also expect to get a good view of the pit lane exit, further adding to the excitement as the teams execute well-timed pit strategies to gain track position.

A Hero Turn 1 Package includes 3-day access to the Turn 1 Grandstand, plus all the same benefits as listed in the Hero Main Package above.

Victory Grandstand

Located along the back straight before Turn 14, the Victory Grandstand offers a great view of the high-speed approach and technical braking zone through the circuit’s final corner.

Further adding to the excitement for fans, this grandstand is also well-located to witness the final overtaking opportunity of the lap, and the race climax as the leader passes by just moments away from taking the chequered flag.

Fans looking to secure a 3-day seat in the Victory Grandstand can do so with a Starter Victory Package, providing all of the above activities aside from the ‘Inside F1®’ event access.
