- There are shuttle buses which run between the station and the track, and they’re free of charge if you have a Spanish Grand Prix ticket.
- By car: allow around 30 minutes to get to Montmeló. There’s a 32,000-space car park.

Times
- Doors open around 9am on Friday, 8am on Saturday and 7am on Sunday.
Refreshments
- There are plenty of food and drink options available onsite, with 80 fast food stands!
Hints and tips
- Get there early, especially if you have a pelouse ticket: there’s no assigned seating in this area, so it’s first come, first served.
- Remember your suncream, sunglasses and hat if it’s hot.
- Earplugs or headphones are a good idea to limit the noise!
Enjoy the race!
