Grandstand: NORTH
The North Grandstand at Abu Dhabi is one of the biggest grandstands on the F1 calendar. Encapsulating the entire hairpin at turn 5 with another adjacent grandstand on the straight at corner exit, you are spoiled for choice in the North Grandstand.
Remodeled for the 2021 season, the chicane was removed just before the turn 5 hairpin, allowing the cars to run at a higher speed into a wider hairpin. This corner witnessed the world championship-deciding overtake on the final lap of the season and is a popular position for cars to overtake. If you are sitting in the North Grandstand just next to the hairpin, your views will include the hairpin as well as the start of the first DRS zone, allowing the cars to get close to the car in front.
The North Grandstand has a large choice of food and drink, and from these seats you will enjoy an unforgettable view of the circuit at sunset as well as the colourful Yas Hotel.

Grandstand: MAIN
Sitting on the main straight has many benefits at a Formula One race and the main grandstand at Abu Dhabi is no exception. Like all other grandstands at the Yas Marina circuit, the main grandstand is well-raised so expect great views whether high or low in this grandstand. Enjoy the race build up, starting grid and pit stops from your seats – with one very special bonus unique to Abu Dhabi.
As the season finale, you likely have the enjoy the opportunity to see either the World Champion or retiring stars do one final donut in front of their adoring fans on the start/finish straight. Amenities are always close by in the large grandstands at Abu Dhabi and you will be grateful for ease of access for a cool refreshment in the warm weather.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Grand Prix Tours. The accommodation was amazing, communication with this company was brilliant when I had a few questions and the seating for the actual Grand Prix qualifying and race day was perfect, as we got to see all the overtaking on the corner. I would highly recommend this company and look forward to using them again in the future!!
Myself and my son became Grand Prix Grand Tourists for the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa…. GPGT took care of everything, flight were perfect, airport transfers ran smoothly, hotel in Brussels was stunning and comfortable, seats in the gold 4 grandstand were beyond anything we could have expected,transfers from hotel to race were good fun and interesting especially trying to exit the carpark at the end of both days!! But hey, it was expected…Stefan our guide and the drivers were really friendly and looked after us well.Please thank Jamie at your office, he was brilliant, kept us informed on every item….I would recommend you guys 100% to anyone thinking of using your services
Thank you GPGT for organising the trip to Spa for me. My husband and son had the most amazing time.My specific wishes of where they wanted to sit at the circuit were fulfilled perfectly. The organisation, communication and clear instructions by GPGT from start to finish has been first class, well done everyone.I look forward to using this company again and would recommend their services over and over again. Easily 5 ⭐️
We had a fantastic time at the Hingarian Grand Prix. Everything was organised for us. In particular, the communication from booking to race day was excellent. We look forward to travelling with GPGT again.
Just got back from the Hungarian Grand Prix. I booked this as a surprise for my partner’s birthday and GPGT were great from the start. I wouldn’t have known where to start arranging this myself but everything was organised, communication great and everything happened exactly as they said it would! hotel was nice, all transfer pick ups were on time and seats at the Grand Prix were great! I booked the flights separately myself but was really pleased when GPGT still sorted airport transfers for us. They made it a simple, stress free and very enjoyable weekend!
Freshly back from a superb trip to the Spanish Grand Prix - what a weekend and experience! All arrangements from point of booking, pre-travel, and the weekend itself, were seamless and very well coordinated.Our grand stand seats were spectacular, in front of the starting grid and pits, with brilliant views of all the action.We’re already planning which race to book for next year. Thanks to everyone on the GPGT team for making it a very easy and unforgettable experience 🙂
So pleased to have chosen GPT for F1 Monaco - they were really responsive to all emails and phone calls. The advice for hotel in Nice walking distance to the rail station was really perfect (23 minutes to central Monaco). Hotel was great choice for this weekend as we were only there to sleep and it was comfortable clean with helpful staff. Transfers from airport to hotel and return were very efficient and professional - they anticipated late arrival and departure so were ready and waiting to take us both ways in high quality vehicles. Our seats were in one of the main grandstands (K 4) with great views of the track and harbour with a huge screen opposite to see all the action around the track. It was a big decision choosing the company to supply the Grand Prix experience, I read many reviews and GPT stood out, very happy to have chosen them.
We chose GPGT for our 1st F1 experience and we were not disappointed. Bahrain was an incredible experience everything went like clockwork. Well done to the team at GPGT’s we are very much looking forward to our next event.
Having never done a package for a GP I wasn’t sure what to expect. I need not have worried. From the start the communication was excellent with clear instructions regarding flights, transfers and hotel.The airport transfers were easy and the driver was professional and attentive and the hotel was out of this world. The circuit transfers were easy and informative with a local guide who gave us information on local areas of historic importance and local facts and recommendations for nice places to eat.I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to attend a GP abroad. You won’t be disappointed.
From the moment we booked our Monaco GP tour until the end of the trip, we had nothing but a brilliant experience with this company. Our initial trip was postponed due to Covid and Simon and Jay were always at the end of the phone to answer any questions and reassure us. As for the trip itself, everything was well thought out - from the flight and transfers to the hotel in Nice (clean, comfortable and an easy walk to the train station so we could easily get to Monaco and back). We upgraded our tickets for the Grand Prix after chatting to Simon about the kind of view we wanted and they were superb - right in the middle of the action. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that we will never forget and we can’t wait to book our next F1 tour with the company . Thanks all
Like to say a massive thanks to John and the team for a totally hassle free Monaco F1 weekend.Start to finish they are totally professional, quick to respond to emails, and providing all the relevant information required before flying out!The trip itself went without any issues, accommodation chosen in Nice, with its roof top bar, was a perfect way to relax after full day trying to pack everything in, and only a 10-15 minutes walk to/from the station.Our chosen seats which gave access to the mooring pontoons of the big super Yacht’s, with live music that filled the gaps between races. We also got to see plenty of action, (Ricardo’s & Schumacher’s crashes, plus others over the weekend), you could also at a distance see some of the pit activity and even the podium presentations, (depending on the seats we had each day). It had the big screen central to our stand (P), so you didn’t miss any action.Thanks again for a totally awesome F1 experience.Regards Dave
Delighted with the whole experience. The hotel was superb in every way, the seats at the Barcelona Grand Prix were exceptional. Will definitely book with you again and recommend friends to do the same.We were kept informed through the weekend with various tel numbers should we run into difficulties during our stay which we didn’t.Anyone can book with you very confidently!
Monaco Historic GP 2022 with Grand Prix Grand Tours.These guys are top notch. You get exactly what is in the package, airport transfers, flights, hotel, Grandstand Tickets (great seats).I can not speak highly enough of the organisational skills these guys have.Thank you
