Rudiments Of The Spanish Grand Prix Formula 1

The formula 1 tour of 2018 will eventually get to Spain as usual, and many people from across Europe will be trooping out to enjoy the races. This will be holding at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, just 12 miles (20 km) towards North Eastern part of the city center of Barcelona, inside the small town known as Montmelo. For those whoa would wish to attend the event, there will be a 3-day ticket that starts from 16:00 to 18:30 every day. For the 3 days. This ticket could be booked online, with some discounts at the moment. But the discounts will end 2 and half months before the start of the event which will take place in May 2018.

Essential Information about the Event

If you plan on coming to Barcelona for the formula 1 event, just know that the period of May in Spain is already sunny and warm. So, comfortable and light clothing will be okay for you.  The admission area has a little bit of shade. But the area that is completely covered is the Grandstands. So, if you are getting a ticket for the general admission area, then you should do well to come with your sunscreen and hat.  Another important thing is that you should try and come with shoes that are comfortable enough.  This is because there will be enough trekking distance around. This will be up to 30 minutes for those that will be taking the public transport.

For those coming with their cars, there will be enough parking spaces for them just close to the circuit. The arena takes up to 26,000 cars, so there would be no cause for alarm. The price for a three day parking ticket sold alongside the tickets for seats during the 2017 event was €15-20 EUR. That of 2018 is not expected to be much higher. You can also use the website of the Circuit De Catalunya for more information on tickets.

Those who will like to camp can get a good pitch with their car. This will cost about €45 EUR for the entire weekend. Getting to the Catalunya Circuit with your private car will not be a problem because there are appropriate signposts on the highway that leads to the circuit.

Rules

There are 7 gates that lead to the circuit. The best way to know the best gate to use is to check and find the one that is closest to your sitting area. To avoid breaking the law, do not come in with any cans or glasses.

Before the 2015 event, alcohol was also completely banned from the event. People are searched before they come into the circuit to ensure that they are not coming in with bear and other alcohols. Some beer may be sold inside the circuit, but they have to be non-alcoholic beer. However, those who can’t do without the real thing can use the bars outside the main gates.

Thursday Pit Walk

Those with Sunday or three day tickets have the opportunity to enjoy the pitline walk that happens on Thursdays prior to the weekend of the major event. This happened on March 12 from 4pm to 7pm for the 2016 event. Here, the fans can see the drivers and teams in action as they prepare, and also view their fellow fans too. The crowd here is always tumultuous, so getting their earlier or later saves it.

Foods and Drinks

There is a generally agreed poor quality of foods and drinks at the event. So, people are advised to get to the supermarkets and eateries outside the event center to get their food and drinks stocks before getting into the circuit. But remember not to come in with cans and glasses.
