Restaurant guide for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
July 8, 2025
For fans of Formula 1 who want to go to a Grand Prix but find the prices of Grandstand or Hospitality tickets hard to swallow, there’s General Admission (GA), the budget-friendly option. But at some circuits, a GA ticket comes with a catch: light access, poor sight lines, and the kind of viewing experience that makes one question whether F1 really is the affordable alternative to other forms of motorsport.
At other races, however, GA offers a surprisingly premium experience: amazing vantage points, festival-like amenities, and a real sense of freedom—the kind of freedom that makes the absence of a strict itinerary feel very, very good. This is your guide to those races. Enjoy!
The Spielberg Red Bull Ring is one of the best circuits for General Admission fans. This reputation starts with the fact that the Red Bull Ring is located in a beautiful area of the country. This valley circuit is easy to access, and there are many spots around the track where you can quickly get near to the action. It’s a compact layout, and there are so many great vantage points that you can see a significant portion of the cars at speed in a single view. The track has an atmosphere that is tough to beat.
For diehard F1 fans, Spa is among their favorite circuits, and a big reason is the General Admission experience. The long, forested circuit has ample space for walking and exploring, and fans are able to camp near the track and do the full-on motorsport weekend. GA holders have access to some great corners, including Eau Rouge and Pouhon, where a not-so-humble vantage point allows for excellent sights of the cars at full throttle and near their limit.
General Admission (GA) at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is among the best in Europe for seeing a race. Many of the GA areas are on elevated hills, which puts fans above the circuit and offers incredible sight lines.
Plus, the true benefit of coming to the European GP for GA is not having to wake up at the break of dawn to secure a decent viewing spot, as that is needed for some of the other hilltop viewing experiences across Europe. Not only that, but the circuit is equipped with modern infrastructure and sufficient food and bathroom options to make a vast majority of fans who might be operating on a budget happy and comfortable.
The atmosphere at COTA is festival-like, and what gets you in there is the General Admission ticket. With that, you can enjoy a large slice of the festival atmosphere and catch a huge part of the action.
The GA ticket gets you a big part of the open space at COTA, and while some of it might be slightly elevated (as in some views around Turn 2), it’s not much better than what you can catch in the viewing areas on the hillside adjacent to the back straight. I’d have to say the hillside and the area around Turn 4 might be the two best spots to see and hear what’s going on during the race.
The Las Vegas GP delivers top-tier experiences even with its General Admission offerings. And though GA may be limited for this race, we at least have a GA+ to explore that ups the ante (no pun intended) with extra amenities, better views, and a couple of (presumably more) exclusive areas.
At 340 smackers (for 340 more reasons, again, no pun intended), this is not a cheap price to pay for enhanced general admission. But that’s part of the deal with Las Vegas; GA connects you to the entertainment and nightlife of the city, as well as putting you right alongside the famous F1 cars as they zoom past. You have seen the videos.
No matter if you're camping at Spa, relishing a hillside view in Austria, or catching the energy of Austin at COTA, General Admission doesn't have to mean rolling the dice on your experience. Place yourself right, and it can feel just as exciting—as sometimes even more exciting—and perhaps even more rewarding than being in a seat in the stands.
