What it is and how it differs from a Gold grandstand

The Paddock Club is Formula 1's own hospitality product, not just another grandstand at the circuit. It sits above the pit lane, on the main straight, and includes signature dining, an open bar and access to activities not included with a standard ticket.

The Gold grandstand at MADRING also overlooks the main straight, the grid and the podium, and is the highest category of regular ticket. The difference isn't the view: it's the service and the access.

What it usually includes

The programme is defined by Formula 1 race by race. This is what forms part of the product consistently.

Gastronomy

Signature culinary offering, wine pairings and open bar throughout the day.

Pit Lane Walk

Walks down the pit lane at set times, to see the team garages up close.

Views over the pits

Terraces and lounges right above the starting line and the pit stops.

Guest programme

Activities, simulators and driver appearances according to each Grand Prix's schedule.

Before you book

The exact content of the programme is defined by Formula 1 for each race and may vary. Confirm the detail with the official channel: we won't publish a breakdown here that we can't verify for Madrid 2027.

Where to buy: official channels

We prefer to be upfront: we are not the official seller of the Paddock Club. If you want to buy it directly, these are the channels.

Availability

Availability at this stage is very limited. Check directly with the channels listed to see whether any places remain: we do not handle bookings and hold no allocation of our own.

Twelve hours as the host

Two things the pass does not come with

The Paddock Club sits above the pit lane and the main straight, the loudest spot on the circuit. It is also precisely where you are expected to be talking: to a guest, to a client, to whoever brought you. Foam plugs fix the noise and ruin the conversation. Filtering plugs like the Loop Experience 2 take 17 dB off while keeping the timbre, per their spec sheet — the difference between hearing less and hearing worse.

The other is the Pit Lane Walk. It is done on foot, on asphalt, on top of a day that starts in the morning and does not sit down until the afternoon: rather more hours standing than the word «hospitality» suggests, and blisters give no warning — they show up on Friday and ruin Sunday. An anti-friction stick like Compeed's takes up as much room as a lipstick and works applied beforehand, which is the only time it works.
