For a lot of fans of Formula 1, the race weekend stretches well beyond just a few hours on Sunday afternoon. Buzzing across the circuit during days filled with not just practice but also qualifying sessions, the Formula 1 fan will want to optimally rest between these circuit days. The weekend accommodation obviously has to be comfortable, and with that settled, one just has to ask: Is it worth staying in a motorhome instead of a hotel?
Whether you're in a tent or a motorhome, camping offers something hotels cannot: the chance to fully immerse yourself in the electrifying atmosphere of a Formula 1 event, right there at the track, surrounded by fans as passionate as you are.
At certain circuits — like Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, Zandvoort, and the Red Bull Ring — camping culture is well established. Many evenings before race day are spent sharing stories, cooking meals, and reveling in the singular camaraderie that seemingly only exists among F1 fans. For the weekend warrior, that is as much a part of the F1 experience as the race itself.
Opting for a motorhome instead of a tent bestows a layer of coziness and convenience. You have your own bed, kitchen facilities, and somewhere warm and dry to retreat if the weather turns — and we know it can turn at a place like Spa, where rain is all but part of the program.
A motorhome saves you from the hassle of packing up a damp tent, worrying about security while you use the shared facilities in the middle of the night, or using the shared facilities in the middle of the night. For families, or anyone attending an event that lasts multiple days, that's a game changer.
Motorhome camping isn’t automatically cheaper than hotels.
The main savings often come from self-catering — stocking your own fridge and cooking in your motorhome can save hundreds compared to eating at the track or in nearby towns.
For many fans, being able to walk to the circuit in the morning instead of battling traffic is worth the price alone. The social side is a big draw too — evenings spent with fellow fans, pre-race excitement in the air, and a genuine sense of community.
However, there are trade-offs:
If you value peace, quiet, and guaranteed comfort, a hotel might still be your better option.
If you’re considering staying in a motorhome for your next F1 weekend:
Staying in a motorhome can be an unforgettable way to experience Formula 1 if you love the idea of being close to the action. It offers the flexibility to cook your own meals, and if you enjoy the social side of race weekends, a motorhome makes total sense. Affordability-wise, it's not always cheaper than hotels, but in this realm of convenience, comfort, and atmosphere, it often makes sense to go motorhome.
