The ultimate F1 fan experience

A highlight of this zone includes the Pit Stop Challenge, where visitors can put their skills to the test in a fast-paced tire-changing experience. Additionally, a special karting track will allow fans to unleash their inner racer, while the STEM Racing Program provides an educational opportunity that uses Formula 1 as an engaging learning platform.

 

For those with a passion for international cuisine, the World Food Circuit Zone offers a delectable global tour. A variety of food trucks will serve up carefully curated dishes inspired by F1 Grand Prix host nations, allowing guests to indulge in authentic flavors from around the world without leaving Tokyo.

Fueling the excitement

Meanwhile, the main Fanzone at Suzuka is located just outside the main gate of the circuit. Nearby, the Suzuka Circuit Park amusement park offers entertainment for families, with attractions primarily designed for children aged 2 to 10, though older guests can also find engaging activities to enjoy during the Grand Prix weekend.

 

For dedicated fans hoping to get close to the drivers, opportunities exist, albeit with some strategy and luck. While direct access is challenging during an F1 weekend, the Thursday Pit Lane Walk—available as an additional purchase to regular tickets—allows attendees to explore the pit lane and potentially meet drivers.

Additionally, some fortunate fans may encounter their favorite racers outside the paddock, offering a chance to secure a coveted autograph or selfie. However, it’s important to approach these moments with respect, as F1 drivers are often following tight schedules during race weekends.
