The Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya isn’t just about watching F1 cars fly by at 300 km/h. It’s a full weekend of activities, entertainment, and hands-on experiences that make your time at the track unforgettable.

Whether you're a hardcore motorsport fan or attending with friends and family, there’s something for everyone—from pit lane views and sim racing to live music and kids’ zones. Here’s your complete guide to the on-track activities fans can enjoy during the Grand Prix weekend.

Walk the pit lane (if you're lucky!)

One of the most sought-after experiences during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend is the Pit Lane Walk. This gives fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at the team garages and cars before the action begins.

  • When: Thursday from 17:30 to 19:30
  • Who can attend: All 3-day ticket holders
  • How to access: You must enter a free lottery to win pit lane access. The lottery is only open to those with valid 3-day tickets. Not everyone will receive a spot, so be sure to register early!

It’s a bucket-list moment for F1 fans—if you win a ticket, don’t miss it.
