MAP OF THE GRANDSTANDS

The Spa-Francorchamps circuit is famous for its unique Eau Rouge Passage, considered one of the most challenging and dangerous sections in the entire Formula 1 series. Which grandstand at Imola has the best view? Take a look at our detailed guide and choose yours. But be sure to book your tickets early as the best seats sell out fast.

BRONZE AREA and BRONZE AREA - KIDS

Spa has some of the best general admission areas. However, you will need to be prepared, as many of the walkways are unpaved and there are hills in most areas, especially around Eau Rouge.

You’ll love the atmosphere of the race with thousands of other fans, all at the best price.
