Being at the Mexican Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is not simply a matter of seeing cars go by at insane speeds. It is, also, about the complete Formula 1 experience. In addition to the competition itself, you have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities that are only half the story—but a crucial part of the overall narrative—that fans can access during race weekend. This guide will take you through all the available experiences and interactive opportunities inside the track perimeter.

Note: Access to many of these activities depends on the color zone printed on your ticket. The venue is divided into multiple zones (Green, Blue, Yellow, etc.), and fans can only move within their assigned area.

F1 Fan Zone: the heart of the action

The F1 Fan Zone is where the fun begins. Usually located in the more central ticket zones like Blue or Yellow, it's packed with interactive exhibits and activities for fans of all ages.

Try your hand at the F1 SimRacing rigs, where you can test your skills on a virtual version of the Mexico City track. There are leaderboards, prizes, and real competition energy.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like an F1 mechanic, head to the Pit Stop Challenge. You’ll race against the clock to complete a tire change as fast as possible—just like the teams do during the race.

Fans can also explore trophy displays, racing gear exhibits, and historic F1 show cars, all perfect for photos and learning a bit more about the sport's history. Some zones also include the Blast Lane simulator, which mimics the wind tunnel experience F1 teams use for aerodynamics testing.

Driver appearances and DJ sets

Throughout the weekend, Formula 1 drivers and team members show up for interviews, meet-and-greets, and even selfies with fans. These events are often announced on the official F1 app or through circuit loudspeakers, so keep your phone handy and volume up.

When the racing pauses, the music kicks in. Each day features DJ performances on the Fan Zone stage, turning the in-between moments into a mini music festival. Some fans say it's their favorite part of the weekend.

Foro Sol: where the race becomes a party

The Foro Sol stadium section—part of the Gray and Brown ticket zones—is famous for its electric atmosphere, especially during and after the race.

On Sunday, fans in Foro Sol usually get exclusive access to the podium ceremony, where they can watch the top three drivers celebrate with champagne showers right in front of them. It's often followed by a live DJ set, turning the stadium into a post-race party unlike anything else in Formula 1.

Premium experiences: F1 Experiences & hospitality

If you've booked a Champions Club or Paddock Club package, you’ll get even more access.

  • Champions Club perks include:
    • Trackside seating on the start/finish straight
    • Guided pit lane walks
    • Appearances from F1 insiders like engineers and former drivers
    • Gourmet food and drinks
  • Paddock Club offers the full VIP treatment:
    • Premium lounge overlooking the main straight
    • All-day open bar and dining
    • Private tours and exclusive pit lane access
    • Photo ops with the F1 championship trophy

Important tips for getting the most from your ticket

  • Know your zone: Your ticket restricts you to a specific zone at the track. You’ll only be able to visit the Fan Zone or activities within that color-coded area.
  • Use the app: The official F1 app or the Mexico GP app offers real-time schedules for driver appearances, stage performances, and sim contests.
  • Arrive early: For the best chance at joining competitions or catching your favorite driver, head to the Fan Zone shortly after gates open.
  • Spot the signage: Fan activities, medical points, and interactive exhibits are well-marked inside the venue. Pay attention to banners and map boards.

Finishing up

The Mexican Grand Prix provides much more than just the race. If you're trying to outdo the sim lap record, take a photo with the show car, or glamming it up in Foro Sol after the checkered flag drops, you're experiencing form of the on-track excitement that carries this event's culture from dawn to dusk.

Simply confirm the area your ticket allows access to, then utilize the apps provided and the signage within the venue to maximize every second you spend there. Whether you're a diehard supporter or a more leisurely observer, there's ample entertainment to be had inside Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
