People discuss the view from your seat, the engine noise, and the cost. But there’s one thing few mention that can turn a seemingly great Formula 1 weekend into a logistical mess: how far your seat is from the exit.
It’s not something you consider when purchasing tickets. You look at the map of the track, select a grandstand with an excellent view, and hit the confirm button. What you might not realize is that your choice could have a significant effect on how easy—or difficult—it will be to get home after the race.
Here’s the thing: most fans think about how to get into the event, not how to get out once it’s over. Entry is exciting—energy is high, the event lies ahead. But once it ends and you're tired, sun-drenched, and ready to head back, that’s when exit logistics suddenly matter.
At that moment, the “where am I sitting?” question becomes the most important one of the weekend.
The worst part about post-race transport isn’t the price of taxis—it’s the waiting. If you’re lucky, you’ll only be in line for two hours. If not, it can stretch to five. Either way, you’re wasting valuable time—and after a long day at the track, it’s not a fun way to close things out.
At some circuits—especially temporary street layouts or older venues—the transport infrastructure can’t handle the crowd size. If your seat is on the far side of the track from the metro station, shuttle stop, or taxi area, you’re likely to be one of the last to get there.
This doesn’t just mean being at the end of a long queue—it can mean being in a line that stops moving entirely if the system breaks down (which it often does).
It’s also about how quickly you rejoin the flow of fans heading out. Those seated near the main exits are already en route to the transport hubs while you’re still navigating fences, bottlenecks, and crowds just to leave your grandstand.
When tens of thousands of people are being funneled through limited choke points, an extra few hundred meters can cost you hours.
At Fastway1, we’ve experienced it firsthand. We’ve made the mistake of not thinking about exit logistics. We’ve been stuck on the wrong side of the track with a rideshare system collapsing under pressure. We’ve stood in immobile taxi queues that curled around themselves multiple times. We’ve watched fans miss concerts or spend entire evenings stuck in limbo—all because their seats were too far from the exit.
But we’ve also learned how to avoid that. Here's what works:
Here’s what we look for now when planning a race weekend:
It’s not just about watching the race—it’s about planning your entire experience, including how you leave.
Think of your seat like booking a hotel room at a packed festival. You're not just picking it for the view—you’re picking it for how easily you can get in and out. And at some circuits, that decision can mean the difference between a smooth evening or a logistical disaster.
At Fastway1.com, we help fans make better-informed decisions—not just about seat views and ticket prices, but about the real-world logistics that shape your entire F1 weekend. A seat isn’t just a place to watch—it’s the starting point for your whole experience.
We’ve been stuck in traffic jams and endless lines. Now, we’re here to help you avoid them.
