STEP3. What to Wear and What to Bring?

Clothing

• (1) Hat

  Because of the season, the sun can be strong during the day, 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

  It can get chilly in the morning and evening, 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

  Apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out. Be sure to bring some with you for reapplication at the venue.

• (9) Cash

  Most stores inside the venue accept cashless payments. However, there may be unexpected situations where a store does not support your digital payment method or a payment is required, so it is reassuring to carry cash just in case.

• (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.
