F1 races are pricey events for the rich and famous right? Not necessarily!
If you have the cash you can have a glamorous champagne and caviar experience. But the average F1 race is attended by hundreds of thousands of normal people. Although they are not cheap, you can definitely see live a Formula One race with a limited budget.
I’m a lifelong traveler and Formula 1 fan who’s been to a number of races the last few years, this is my AFFORDABLE step-by-step guide to booking and attending your first Grand Prix. I give detailed advice on which race to attend, where to sit (grandstand vs general admission), the ticket to buy and where to buy it, where to stay, and how to have an amazing time maximizing your experience and minimizing your expense.

This is a very helpful video!!! I am a recent F1 fan, and have always heard that it is impossible for "normal people" to attend these races, so I appreciate the information. Thank you and keep it up!

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

Thanks so much! You can do it!

2nd year watching F1 and I'm obsessed. I've been looking at attendng Hungary as its the most affordable from my research. I would love to hear more about your experience there.

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

Budapest is typically one of the cheaper Eastern European cities to fly to since a number of budget carriers are based there. Airbnb's in the city are really affordable, but I know they do camping around the circuit during the race. The drive to/from the city on race days is a serious chore since the toads around the circuit are narrow country roads, so I'd try to avoid driving and camp if you can. I know they run a number of extra busses from the city for the race but can't help you with the details on that. I bought my tickets to the 2022 Hungarian GP through GP Ticketshop and they were great. Seats in the "Red Bull Tribune" right at the end of the grid and final corner, amazing views and were very affordable, If I remember correctly, they were around 220 euro for me and 20 for my 12 year old son. Hope this helps a bit, LMK if you have further questions.

This video appeared just at the right time for me! Great advice and helpful links!

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

Excellent! I appreciate the kind words!

@btafbm Месяц назад

I know almost nothing about f1 yet I watched this whole video lol interesting stuff!

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

Thanks! Watch a few episodes of Drive to Survive on Netflix and go to a race and you'll become a fan...fast!

@btafbm Месяц назад

@@GlobeDecker oh thanks for the tip! The only sports I really follow hardcore is basketball. I’m a big Raptors fan so while F1 looks really cool it’s kinda daunting to try and learn so much about it so I can really feel invested

@AhmedNaas Месяц назад

Great advice, especially when you mention Fridays as the best day to have a cheap experience. Most tracks have roving grandstands too, so you can still move around and enjoy cars hitting multiple types of corners!

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

Yes! Roving grandstand tickets, are be a great way to broaden your experience.without much additional cost. Thanks for the comment!

Awesome video! I'm a new fan getting ready to plan for Las Vegas, so this was perfect

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

Thanks! Jealous that you're going to the Vegas race! Last year's was amazing. Enjoy!

I just attended my first GP in Canada and am pretty sure I just was super lucky to find affordable tickets and stay only a month prior. From my experience, I would definitely recommend bringing food and staying in a Hostel. You meet people from all over and it's considerably cheaper than hotels as well as putting you more in the center of the action. Also, get a card for the subway or take the ferry to the track. It was absolutely incredible and I'm already trying to budget for the next one!

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

NIce! I was there as well It was a super interesting and enjoyable race this year!

Nicely Made Video

Thanks!

I have the unfortunate disadvantage of living in South Africa. Any tips on getting cheaper plane tickets, improving our currency or getting the FOM/FIA to put a race in Africa?! 😂 Jokes aside. Good video keep it up :)

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

Not much I can do about those! I've read a bit unofficial the F1 blogs about how the FIA are really pushing to have a race in Africa, and South Africa seems like the most likely candidate. Fingers crossed! I visited South Africa about 15 years ago and LOVED IT. I'd like to go again and a new F1 race would be the perfect excuse to convince my wife! Thanks for the comment!

@meekalsc4646 Месяц назад

@GlobeDecker haha, definitely a good reason to come. when a race gets announced for SA I will come back to this comment and wait for a video from your channel.

Hey i plan to go to the Hungarian GP 2025, would you recommend this race? Can someone recommend the best seats under the price of 300 Euros in this race?

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

I went to the Hungarian GP in 2022. Airbnb's in the city are really affordable, but I know they do camping around the circuit during the race. The drive to/from the city on race days is a serious chore since the toads around the circuit are narrow country roads, so I'd try to avoid driving and camp if you can. I know they run a number of extra busses from the city for the race but can't help you with the details on that. I bought my tickets to the 2022 Hungarian GP through GP Ticketshop and they were great. Seats in the "Red Bull Tribune" right at the end of the grid and final corner, (there's a few pics and vid clips in this video from our seats), amazing views and were very affordable, If I remember correctly, they were definitely under 300 euro. Hope this helps!

Everything is more expensive in the US

@GlobeDecker Месяц назад

With live events that's for certain! I have an acquaintance who wanted to take her daughter to see Taylor Swift. Even when including the airfare and hotel, it was cheaper for them fly to the UK to see the show than to go to the performance that was an easy drive from their home.
