Saudi GP

[TheHighlander]

Hello All

Planning the Saudi GP and I am looking for feedback.

Planning flying from the UAE and planning a 3 day ticket. Going to be taking my wife, 4 and 5 year old.

Looking to see is there any parts we should avoid at the track?

Planning general admission tickets so the kids don’t have to be stuck in one place.

Thanks

I've been to the circuit - for clarity I went for GT World Challenge Europe rather than F1 - and I'm not sure you will be able to see much just with general admission tickets. The circuit is flat, with high walls, and I'm not sure how much is accessible to the public. I would get grandstand tickets if you can.

The reason we never went Grandstand was my daughters are 4+5 so having GA would allow them to roam about and not have to sit still haha.

Trying to make it the best of both worlds.

Surprisingly cheap for tickets and a hotel close to the circuit.

I found a few Reddit threads about GA, and it seems you can't see a lot of the track from the GA area, but there are big screens, and obviously you will be able to hear what's going on. Another thing I saw which might be worth checking is the grandstands don't have allocated seats, so you may be able to come and go from various seats.

I’m thinking of going to Jaddah as well, flying from DXB where I’m based. If I do go it will be a last minute decision, so will follow this thread with interest.

Yep I have had a look on there.

We are also flying from DXB to Saudi on the Friday.
