Best for Best overall and best for action — Turn 1 braking zone plus the start and podium

Central Grandstand A (Turns 5-8 technical loop)

Best for Best value — cheapest covered seated ticket with genuine technical action

Central Grandstand B (Turns 5-8 / Turns 19-20 dual view)

Central Grandstand D (Coastal — Turns 8-10 / 16-18)
