What It’s Like to Experience F1 in Shanghai

The Chinese Grand Prix is back on the calendar, here’s how to do it properly.

Formula 1’s return to Shanghai has brought one of the sport’s most unique and technical tracks back into the spotlight. With its blend of long straights, sweeping turns and a skyline unlike any other, the Chinese Grand Prix delivers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, and with Sportsnet Holidays’ 5-night escorted tour, you’ll be there for every second of it.

This isn’t just another Grand Prix weekend, it’s a full-scale travel experience designed to make your time in Shanghai unforgettable, both on and off the track.

A Grand Prix Built for the Fans

The Shanghai International Circuit is a true modern classic. Built specifically for Formula 1, it’s home to one of the longest straights on the calendar, offering plenty of opportunities for high-speed overtakes. But it’s the famous “snail” section, a tight, twisting combination of corners, that really makes this track stand out.

With Sportsnet Holidays, you’ll enjoy three days of official grandstand access, covering all the action from Friday Practice through to Sunday’s race. Add in return track transfers each day, and you’ve got the ultimate stress-free way to take in one of the season’s most exciting events.

Premium Comfort Between Race Days

Your experience begins the moment you arrive in Shanghai and check in to your centrally located 4-star hotel. Carefully selected for quality and convenience, your accommodation gives you easy access to both the circuit and the city.

It’s the ideal base to recharge between race sessions, explore nearby landmarks, or enjoy some downtime after an adrenaline-fuelled day at the track.

Exclusive Inclusions You’ll Actually Use

What sets this experience apart is everything that comes with it, not just your race ticket.

After the chequered flag falls, you’ll head out on a half-day guided sightseeing tour of Shanghai, led by a local English-speaking guide. It’s a relaxed and memorable way to experience more of this vibrant city before heading home.

That evening, you’ll gather with fellow fans for a Farewell Dinner, a chance to reflect on the weekend’s biggest moments, share a few laughs, and wrap up the trip in style.
