Clothing and Items

It's safe even for first-timers.
Let's go see the Suzuka F1 Japanese Grand Prix!

Clothing prioritizes ease of movement

Of course, it's basic to watch freely in your own preferred style, but if you're unsure, try using this as a reference!

Clothing

(1) Hat
Even in spring, there are days when the sun is strong, so it's better to wear a hat. A wide-brimmed hat is recommended.
(2) Jacket and Bag
If the temperature is on the warmer side, short sleeves are fine, but in that case, make sure to bring a long-sleeve shirt that you can throw on if needed.
A backpack that frees up both hands is recommended. It is also convenient to have a smartphone shoulder bag or waist pouch for easy access to your phone.
(3) Bottoms
Comfortable pants are a staple.
(4) Shoes
In any case, wear comfortable shoes that you are used to. Sandals are not recommended even if the temperature is high. If there is a chance of rain, waterproof shoes will be more comfortable.

Items to Bring

(1) Mobile Battery
If you're watching for a long time, you'll start to worry about the battery, so make sure to prepare a fully charged spare battery.
(2) Long-sleeved jacket
In spring, it can get chilly in the mornings and evenings, so it's recommended to have something ready to wear just in case.
(3) Binoculars / Opera Glasses
You can clearly see the distant circuit vision, leader tower, and pit work.
(4) Kappa Poncho
For rain protection, a raincoat or poncho is recommended as it takes up less space than an umbrella and keeps both hands free. Even if it seems like there won't be much rain, it's a good idea to have one ready just in case the weather changes suddenly.
(5) Plastic Bag
Useful for storing towels and clothes that have become wet from sweat or rain. It is also helpful in other situations, so let's bring several that are as large and durable as possible.
(6) Seat Cushion
Since long periods of sitting are expected, let's bring a portable folding chair.
(7) Towel
An essential item for wiping sweat on hot days and rainwater on rainy days. A larger one with a hood is also useful for sun protection and warmth.
(8) Sunscreen
Even in spring, there are days when the sun is strong, so be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out. Don't forget to bring some for reapplication on-site.
(9) Cash
Although cashless transactions are progressing within the venue, there may be instances where shopping or payments do not support the digital payment methods you have on hand in unexpected places.
(10) Radio with Earphones
The live commentary inside the venue will also be broadcast on Suzuka's FM radio station "Suzuka Voice FM 78.3MHz," so if you bring a radio with earphones, you can listen to clear commentary anywhere.
(11) Smartphone　
It is recommended to keep your ticket in an easily accessible location, as you will need to present it at the entrance gate.
Additionally, it's a good idea to print your tickets on paper just in case the signal becomes poor.

Everyone's Voice: "What are the recommended clothes and items?"

For those who watched the FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX at SUZUKA CIRCUIT, we introduce recommended clothing and items for F1 viewing that you have tried so far.

What are the recommended clothes and items?
Suzuka's F1 Fan san
Even in early April, it was perfectly fine to wear short sleeves during the day! However, as the sun went down, a hoodie was just right, so I think a jacket is also essential!
I think any pants are fine, but if they're black, I feel like they might get hot during the race depending on the seat (laughs).
Also, a hat is important. It's relatively inexpensive compared to shirts and other merchandise, and it's perfect for both a souvenir and sun protection!
Also, as we approach the end of the afternoon session, the setting sun may shine in, so sunglasses might surprisingly be needed.
There is a guide on the official site regarding what to bring, so what I recommend is a plastic bag that can fit a whole backpack.
It won't get dirty when you place your bag on the floor, and it can definitely be used as a trash bag, so it should be there!
Algernon Nix san
Team wear and smartphones are a must. Surprisingly easy to forget are sunglasses and sunscreen. If you neglect sun protection, you'll end up with sore eyes and painful skin the next day.
Kiyoshiro Imawano san
I have watched F1 at Suzuka a total of 16 times since I was young, but I experienced the first spring event in 2024.
◆Clothing
A jumper that is not easy to let the wind through.
Lightweight long-sleeve shirt.
Short-sleeve T-shirt.
Long pants.
It gets cold in the morning and evening, so wear a jumper for warmth. Around noon, a jumper can be a bit hot, so it's better to wear a lightweight long-sleeve shirt that you can adjust. Since you can get warm while walking around, I think it's better to wear a short-sleeve T-shirt.

◆Items to Bring
Poncho
Backpack
Folding Cushion
Wet Wipes
I think these items should be enough.
If there is no rain forecast for ponchos, then there's no need to bring them!

Riku san
This is a folding chair. Since there are few places to sit other than your own seat, being able to sit in a little shade, especially on rainy days, makes a big difference in comfort.
(Of course, be sure not to block pathways or take up space!)
Metal Slime san
This is a T-shirt and hoodie of my favorite.
Also, while there may be many backpack fans, tote bags are fine too.
Sherlock san
Please pay attention to the weather on race day, and it is recommended to bring warm clothing and rain gear just in case.

Ippei's father san
Since you will be walking, I think waterproof and comfortable shoes are essential.
Walk until you arrive at the circuit, walk to various seats on Friday, and walk around the course after the race on Sunday! You'll accumulate quite a few steps over the three days.
marco san
It is definitely rain gear. I think it would be good to prepare something that is separate for the top and bottom rather than just a poncho. Also, having a cover to protect your belongings from the rain is convenient.
This year hasn't been cold, but since there are some cold days in April, it might be important to check the forecast and take appropriate cold weather measures.
Chris san
Please provide ear muffs or earplugs for small children.
During the race final, the loud F1 machines will continuously race around the circuit for about 2 hours.
Even if it seems okay, your child's important eardrum may be damaged.
Let's enjoy the race while being careful to protect our ears!
Sako san
Comfortable shoes, a backpack, a foldable cushion mat, a larger raincoat for rainy weather (large enough to fit the backpack), and a hat or towel for sun protection. During rainy weather, there is no place to avoid the rain (and if there is, it's crowded with other people), so it's important to keep your body dry. With the spirit of sportsmanship in mind, it's recommended to dress in a way that allows you to move in any weather.
If you have a favorite team, just wearing a cap can lift your spirits.
TYPER2001 Mr.
The event held in early April is colder than expected.
You will freeze if the wind blows.
I wore my favorite team's T-shirt over ultra-warm Heattech to withstand the cold.
There are still cold times, so I also wore my favorite team's hoodie.
GiGis60s (Grandpa s60s) san
Having merchandise like your favorite team's or driver's apparel and caps can help you connect with others who share the same passion.

KAPPA64 san
Mobile cushion and duct tape
Fix the cushion to your seat with duct tape.
Reducing buttock pain is important
Bon san
Although we transitioned in April, on sunny days the sunlight is strong (the evening sun is also intense), so it's convenient to have sunglasses and a towel with a hood. It can also be used when it rains.
Lion Man san
I made sure to bring my magic because you never know when you might meet drivers or other people involved.
Masa 64 years old san
Rain gear (raincoat)
If you stay from Thursday to Sunday, it will definitely rain for at least one day!
Shin-chan san
I always go in layered clothing that can be adjusted and is easy to move in.
Mundial san
On hot days, just a polo shirt
When the temperature is low, wear a windbreaker
Mr. T.O
It is best to check the weather forecast in advance and choose clothing suitable for that weather. If it looks cold, it's a good idea to bring a jacket. On sunny days, you should bring sunscreen. Regardless of whether it will rain or not, please bring rain gear such as a raincoat. It's better to avoid umbrellas as they can obstruct the view from behind. Additionally, it would be great to bring your favorite support goods. Many people bring their own handmade goods! If you want to take photos, you can bring a camera (a smartphone is also fine, so it's not necessary to bring one). If you are going to the Pit Walk on Thursday, it would be good to bring a sign pen or colored paper! You might be able to get a driver's autograph!
Shimiki san
A jacket that can be folded and stored in a backpack, which can be quickly put on if it gets cold.
Sneakers that are walking type (running type) and not coat type, so they are less tiring even after walking long distances.
FM radio and earphones (smartphone app radios are not usable due to delay).
Miwa-chan san
You will be walking a lot, and there are many hilly paths both within the circuit and from the stations to the circuit, so comfortable shoes are a must! I think it would be even better to add some good insoles.
If rain is forecasted, it's best to assume that you won't be able to use an umbrella, so don't forget to bring a sturdy raincoat!
Personally, I think the three things that were most beneficial were an empty water bottle for repeatedly filling with cold drinks, a sponge mat to prevent a sore bottom, and sunglasses to protect against UV rays that cause fatigue.
KEI san
Attire: Since the event was held in spring 2024, I chose an outfit that allows for temperature control with a team polo shirt, Heattech, and a hoodie.
Items to bring: A leisure sheet! I brought it for the first time last year, and it was really nice to stretch out during the times when there were no races, so I will bring it again next year＼(^o^)／
Also, a radio! During the race, you can hardly hear the announcements inside the venue... In the past, there was a radio rental service, but I wonder if there will be one next year?
Toritaro Saitani san
In autumn at Suzuka, the basic outfit is a long-sleeve T-shirt with a lightweight windbreaker. This covers both the hot daytime and the cool night.
Additionally, a hat for sun protection is important.
Still, there were times when I got sunburned and was teased by my colleagues after the break.
Ponta san
Wearing the gear of the driver or team you want to support!! It really gets you into the spirit of cheering!
Making handmade message plates and decorating yourself is also fun.
Tom san
Sunscreen is a must!
This April, I underestimated it thinking it would be better than October, and I ended up getting a serious sunburn!
Hayato Yukisaki san
We created a shirt designed with a photo of driver Tsunoda at the center, surrounded by all the Japanese F1 drivers throughout history. We wore the Rising Sun to show our support.

Hanamasa san
Long-sleeve undershirt (for sports) and a T-shirt bought on-site! I will bring a hoodie or jacket (Uniqlo windproof jacket) for the cooler nights. I will bring rubber bands to neatly carry the checkered flag I receive on Sunday. (Surprisingly convenient.) A clear file (to put stickers and other items I receive in).
Shio Gohan san
My recommended outfit is a long-sleeve shirt with a support T-shirt on top. I think I will do the same next year.
Masaaki san
In 2024, the event was held in spring, and both Saturday and Sunday had mild weather, but it was a bit chilly in the morning, so I think having a light jacket would be good. As for what to bring, during the 2023 event, I hardly brought anything, so I struggled to deal with thirst, so for 2024, I brought 2 liters of tea.

Dodonpa san
Wear comfortable clothing, familiar shoes, a hat, a windbreaker, and rain gear.
Bring an FM radio, a large garbage bag, a seat cushion, and a towel.
F1 is life san
This spring, there were days when you could go out in just a team shirt during the daytime. I think the cold can vary depending on the time and year, so it might be a good idea to wear long sleeves underneath! Buying a jacket would be best, but since F1 apparel and caps are expensive, if you're going to buy a few items, I recommend shirts!
