The exciting Azerbaijan Grand Prix unfolds in Baku each year, great for both diehard fans and casual fans with its high-speed action on the narrow streets of the capital city. This may be the least-watched Formula 1 race in person, but it offers the most interactive fan experiences of the season. Whether you are a first-time attendee at the Baku City Circuit or are returning for yet another 12-month stretch, you are guaranteed to be entertained by the follies surrounding both the pre- and post-event festivities.

Experience the energy of the F1 Fan Zone

Sited at beautiful Baku Boulevard, the F1 Fan Zone remains the core off-track experience for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Open all weekend long, it allows fans to dive into the incomparable culture of Formula 1, with these as the main attractions:

  • Simulators for Formula 1 and virtual reality driving experiences.
  • Exhibits and games that involve interaction
  • Stands serving food and drinks offering local and international delights.
  • DJ sets in front of live audiences and temporary on-site performance venues.
  • F1 merchandise shops that are official.
  • Stage at Fan Forum for live director engagements and interview sessions with question and answers.

The Fan Zone provides for all types of fans—true sport followers and families with children just getting to know F1. The zone promises something for everyone.

Race the track in simulators and VR zones

If you've ever been curious about the sensation of taking the Baku circuit at high speed, now's your chance to discover it. Inside the Fan Zone, supporters can step into professional-grade F1 simulators or immerse themselves in virtual-reality setups that simulate the experience of being in an F1 cockpit. It's an electrifying manner to engage with the contest beyond merely viewing from the grandstands.

Catch live concerts at Crystal Hall

Every year, Baku City Circuit combines the racing spectacle with the high-octane world of top-tier music. Previous years have featured the likes of Will Smith, Martin Garrix, J Balvin, and Black Coffee as part of ringing in the event. Typically, these concerts take place in Baku Crystal Hall, a stone's throw away from the circuit and an easy walk if you don’t want to take an electronic shuttle.

With a weekend pass, you’ll most likely have access to evening performances, so the event is set to be one of the most entertainment-stuffed on the Formula 1 calendar—right alongside the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Family fun at Games Park

Families heading to Baku can enjoy the Games Park, located just a short distance from the Fan Zone. The park is home to a plethora of racing-themed, interactive challenges that children of all ages are sure to love. While the park is pretty serene and relaxing for the most part, younger fans will have a blast during race weekend, and their parents will have a nice respite while the kids take part in all the park's great offerings.

Get close to the action with pit-lane walks

Fans with 4-day tickets or select hospitality packages have the opportunity to partake in pit-lane walks for a behind-the-scenes look at Formula 1. Picture this: a guided tour that places you not quite in the halo of a Formula 1 car, but close enough to sense the Holy Grail-like atmosphere of the team garages. You're watching the moment just before a Mercedes, a Red Bull, or a Ferrari comes out for the weekend. You're this close to professional sports history.

And with you, the tour guide, and the teams involved, exists the probability of a photo opp. The garage is a place of pilgrimage, and yet it is also a workplace; the hustle and bustle of final preparations occurring in the Formula 1 atmosphere of expectation and tension is worth a cell phone pic or two.

One of the most unforgettable methods to intensify your F1 experience and get a hint of what it's like to live in the paddock.

Convenient layout and easy access

Baku City Circuit is a street circuit, but its clever design allows it to be more easily traversed than most urban venues. There are six access points, pedestrian bridges, and underpasses that help fans get between the grandstands and entertainment zones. Most of the off-track action—like the Fan Zone and the concerts—happens near the main straight, and everything out there is accessible whether you’re seated trackside or wandering around.
