Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix 2023: 3-Day Pass

Grandstand B is located around the 1st and 2nd corners of the Suzuka circuit. For those who love starting action, this grandstand is the perfect location. A lot of passing activity is visible from here too.

Grandstand C is located on the exit of Turn 2 and is a more affordable option. It has panoramic views of the stadium and is a very popular Grandstand.

Grandstand Q offers an opportunity to see cars take the low-speed chicane before the end of the lap. It's located right before the last corner and is a popular Grandstand option. The panoramic views from this Grandstand are excellent and you also get to see cars enter the pitlane.

Grandstand D is located at the beginning of the ‘S’ curves and offers excellent panoramic views of the first section of the circuit. If you get a seat high up in one of these stands, you’ll be able to see the opening corner through the ‘S’ curve and down to the Dunlop corner.

General Admission is not a grandstand option but offers free seating in 5 separate areas around the Spoon curve, including access to all the grandstands on Friday.

A relative newcomer to the F1 calendar, the Japanese track made its first appearance in 1987. This track witnessed an unfair share of legendary moments with a unique set of fans like Nigel Mansell suffering a crash that qualified in ruling him out of the race and gifting his bitter rival Nelson Piquet the championship, with an unabashed commitment to playing Formula 1 dress-up, a Ferris wheel, and some great food. All drivers love the Suzuka high-speed track as it remains one of the ultimate driving challenges, with snaking ‘S’ curves, 2 commitment-rewarding Degners, and the white-knuckle ride of 130R.

Day 1: Sep 22

11:30am to 12:30pm & 3pm to 4:30pm

Qualifying Day is when the anticipation is high. Day 2 begins with the last Practice Session 3, allowing the drivers to test out the track one last time and make any adjustments needed. After a break, the Qualifying Session begins where all 20 drivers compete for the pole position. Each round eliminates 5 players, narrowing down the race to 10 drivers competing for each second and landing the coveted pole position.

Day 3: Sep 24

2pm onwards

Finally, the much-awaited Race Day arrives on Day 3. The best drivers in the world take to the track and compete for the pole position. Here, each second and overtaking opportunity matters. Before the race starts, the drivers go around the circuit as a formation lap to warm up their engines.
