The Paddock Club, Starting Grid, and Virage du Point-Silver tickets are already sold out. The General Admission tickets are still available, starting for 3,500 euros. Le Beausset, Saint Baume, and Chicane tickets are also available at higher prices.

Which is the best place to watch from?

The Chicane series of grandstands put you at the best overtaking point on the track (as Sebastian Vettel proved during his 2018 fightback from 17th to fifth), while if you want to be closer to the fun and friendly Paul Ricard paddock, bag seats in the Virage du Pont stand to watch cars making their way through the final corner before blasting away down the main straight.

What’s the circuit like?

The Circuit Paul Ricard’s even distribution of high, medium, and low-speed corners is a key reason why it’s one of the most used test circuits in the world (the typically good weather is another). F1 drivers love the 290km/h right-hander at Signes and the 5g joyride of the following Beausset bend.
