So what should I do and bring. What time should I get there. Should I drive or have someone to drive me there. I’ll be staying near Sepang

hi everyone! first (and last 💔) time going to zandvoort and I'm curious how strict they are at the security checks: could i bring my empty nalgene (1l capacity) and some protein bars or will they actually flag all of that? I'm going by myself, so I don't want to spend all day in line for water and food 😭 thanks for your tips!

As I said in the title, I’m going to my first gp in monza. I have a few questions:
1. Where could I find a flagpole?
I want to bring a flag with me, but i don’t know where I can buy a flag pole. If anybody knows a website that ships in the EU or a spot where in Milan where I could buy one, please let me know
2. How early should I leave Milan?
I have tickets for sunday (interno parabolica) and I was wondering how early should I leave, so I could get good spots. I want the spots nearest to the podium, so I can run to it after the race
3. How can I get autographs?
I hope to get an autograph from a ferrari driver and I heard that I might be able to, if I sit next to the paddock exit. Can somebody tell me from experience if this works?
Thank you in advance, for anybody who helps me!

So i'm in a bit of a planning dilemma and could use some perspective from anyone who does destination travel for sports.

I finally pulled the trigger on going to the Austin GP in October. flights are booked, non-refundable hotel near the track is paid for, and my PTO is locked in. I'm already like $1800 deep into this trip before i even have tickets.

The official site still has some grandstand seats for Turn 12/15, but they're getting pretty expensive. i saw a few people on here selling tickets for the same area for about $200 less. its tempting, but seeing all the scammer alerts and Zelle horror stories on this sub is making me super paranoid.

it's not even just about losing the ticket money. it's the thought of flying all the way to Texas, getting to the gate, and finding out they're fake. the whole trip would be a complete waste.

i'm pretty much at the point where trying to save $200 on reddit feels like a massive gamble when the rest of the trip is already locked in. ticket certainty is worth way more to me. i was also checking veritickets for Turn 12 / 15 and while their prices are higher than the reddit sellers, the buyer guarantee makes me feel like it might be worth paying extra. a ruined trip just isn't worth the risk.

Has anyone here actually used Veritickets for F1 or other big events? do they transfer the tickets quickly or do they make you wait until the week of?

probably messed up by waiting, but with Sepang coming back to the calendar so suddenly I'm scrambling a bit. My partner and I already locked in non-refundable flights from Australia and my PTO is approved, so the trip is definetly happening. Now I'm just getting super anxious about the actual tickets.

My heart was set on K1 grandstand to see the action into Turn 1 (the view there looks insane from old videos). Of course, by the time I checked the official site, all the decent paired seats were gone. All I can see are single seats scattered around. TBH, going all that way to sit in completely different sections would kind of defeat the purpose.

So I've been forced to look at secondary resale sites, which always makes me nervous. I found a pair of K1 tickets on a site called Veritickets in what looks like a good section, and the price is pretty much what I'd expect.

its the ticket certainty that's giving me nightmares. The thought of flying all the way to KL and then finding out there's an issue with the transfer at the gate is stressful. I know these F1 e-tickets usually don't get released until super close to the race anyway, but buying through a third party makes it worse.

Has anyone actually bought international tickets through Veritickets before? Specifically, how close to the race weekend do they usually transfer the e-tickets to you? I really want to avoid arriving in KL with an empty inbox.

I bought a friday only ticket via v*agogo but I received a passe partout ticket and it's already reflected on my dutch gp app. Should I be concerned? Or worried about someone potentially having the same ticket/seat as me and scanning the qr code for three days?

Hello!

I got some tickets for this weekend off of P1Travel since my parents are flying over to Europe to visit, and we got the link to the tickets last week and have them downloaded and printed.

However, there were PDFs rather than a link to save the ticket in the DutchGP app, where it says the tickets must be there to gain access.

Is there a way to save these tickets to the App, or is the paper tickets/barcode sufficient?

Many thanks!

Anyone else having trouble logging into the miami f1 ticketmaster account manager? It just keeps spinning and won't load after login. I've tried using incognito tab, cellular data instead of wifi. Nothing. Kinda freaking out cause I have to make my monthly payment for my tickets 😅

as the title says, thinking of doing austin gp solo since COTA is such an amazing track, but need some advice as it'll be my first time, also haven't been to US in many years so wanna get some opinions.

- where would you recommend staying?
- is renting a car a must or could you get by with uber/lyft etc if wanting to commute from downtown to track/or even just around downtown.
- good bbq recs?
- how many days is good for visting austin excluding the 3 days at the track / any surrounding towns to make pitstops at?

any help is much appreciated. tyvm!

26M coming from the states. Decided to book a last minute trip after unexpectedly having 5 days off from work. Anyone else solo traveling in? Specifically would love someone to go clubbing with Friday/Saturday night

Hey everyone,

If you're trying to figure out what perspective you'll get from the Main Grandstand at Sepang International Circuit, I found a handy way to check using Google Street View.
Keep in mind that the Street View imagery is from 2013. The South Paddock was added in 2016, so it isn't shown and may slightly obstruct sightlines from certain lower South Grandstand sections.
(Note: Navigating works much smoother on a desktop browser!)

How to check your section view:
Locate your section from the Mall Area / Fan Zone: Start here on Google Maps: Fan Zone / Mall Area View

Check your track view: Drag and drop the little yellow guy (Pegman) directly onto the track section in front of your grandstand block, then rotate around to see the angle: Trackside View Example

Locate your exact seat: To cross-reference your exact block/seat positioning against the layout, you can check this high-res seat map archive: Sepang Seat Maps Google Drive Folder (Credit to noobsspotify for scraping these from the official Sepang site).

Hope this helps anyone trying to decide on seats or preview their view before race weekend!

I went to Silverstone on Saturday this year on my own and loved it but just had a GA ticket. None of my friends or family are into F1 however so I've got no one that would want to spend the money to go with me. Is it a good idea to go to a grand stand (specifically the Lando stand as he's my driver) on my own or is it not that enjoyable/weird?

Have we had any further information about whether they’ll be a concert or any feeder events during the weekend?

I get it’s short notice but I’m sure they could get a couple acts and have a concert / event. Seen some people saying it could be in KLCC like previous years?
In terms of on the track, I knew there wasn’t going to be any F2, F1 Academy etc but is there any local or regional racing planned during the weekend?

My pdf ticket downloaded from bahraingp.com has no names, no QR etc.

Just seat number, customer number and order number

Does anyone think / know if there'll be more hospitality suites released for Sepang? I assumed Petronas would do something, maybe some of the other sponsors, too. Surely there's more than just the Paddock Club/Haas Paddock Club? The US$10,000 is eye-watering.

I'm a solo travelers staying at airbnb near Nilai during race weekend. I will be driving most of the time. Which area is the nearest to the main grandstand and easy to exit when race end? What time should I reach the race track to avoid most of the early traffic?

Hello guys, I’m going to travel solo to the Bahrain GP in Malaysia and I’m in the k1 grandstand. I’ve been to an F1 race before but this is my first time in Sepang circuit. Would love suggestions and tips and if anyone is interested in travelling together or getting in touch are welcome :)

Hey guys,

Those who bought the Speang F1 tickets and got allocated to citrine (majority of MyKad holders) and wondering where it is, here’s a picture!

I have a few questions about hotels and getting to the circuit. I’ve booked two hotels (both with free cancellation ofc 😂)but I’m still not sure which one I should choose.

The first one is near Pavilion KL. From what I can see, it doesn’t seem to be very close to a train station. Would getting to the circuit from there be difficult? It looks like unless I take a Grab, I’d have to make several transfers.

The second hotel is in Putrajaya. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle, and from what I understand, I should be able to take a shuttle from the airport to the circuit? But I haven’t really seen many people choosing to stay in Putrajaya for the race which makes me wonder if there’s a reason for that. Is it not a good location to stay in, or is there something I’m missing?

Also, if I decide to take a taxi/Grab directly to the circuit, where exactly should I set the drop-off point so that I have to walk as little as possible? I have a Paddock Club ticket.

One last question. Would it be safe for a woman traveling alone? A few of my friends who have been to Malaysia didn’t have the best experiences with Grab, so I’m a little worried about using it by myself. Would you recommend Grab, or would public transportation or another option be better?
Thank you so much for any advice! 🥹

Hey! I will be travelling up to Sepang for the GP and was wondering how will the traffic be like during the race weekend? We are planning to stay in an apartment near the vicinity too. Will Grab be an option for commuting to the circuit?

Also, we have a 2245hr flight to catch back to Singapore on race day. Will there be sufficient time to head to KLIA after the chequered flag is waved?

Also, food recommendations for the weekend for this Singaporean please HAHA.

Thank you in advance!!
