F1 Sprint Comes to Suzuka

F1 Sprint is a short race held separately from the main Grand Prix race. On a Sprint weekend, Sprint Qualifying takes place on Friday, followed by the Sprint and qualifying to set the grid for the Grand Prix on Saturday. The main race takes place on Sunday. With more racing action throughout the weekend, it’s a format F1 fans won’t want to miss.

All reserved seats valid Friday through Sunday

Friday, when seating was previously unreserved except in certain grandstands and seating areas, will now have reserved seating, as on Saturday and Sunday.
As a result, all reserved seats will be valid for all three days, Friday through Sunday.

Guests with Thursday–Friday tickets or West Area tickets may watch the race from the West Area only. Please note that these tickets do not grant access to any reserved-seat grandstands.
For information on access to the race viewing areas, please see below.

Introducing Ultra Outlet Seats

Outlet seats are seats where fences, pillars, other structures, event vehicles, broadcast equipment, or similar obstructions make it difficult or impossible to see the track.
In 2027, we are introducing Ultra Outlet Seats in areas that have not previously been available for sale, giving more guests the opportunity to experience the excitement of watching the race in person. Although these seats have restricted views, they let you feel the energy of the circuit and the thrill of the race up close.
The view varies by seat type, so please check the view from your seat before making your selection.
