About this Journey

Our program is built on a narrative of synergy—where human willpower meets engineering excellence and where the modern pulse of Shanghai meets its storied past. We invite you to step into the role of a racer: from arrival and preparation to the final celebratory lap. 

We designed this journey around three core pillars: 

  1. Unprecedented Track Access: Move from spectator to insider with curated opportunities that are typically reserved for teams and sponsors. This includes guided pit lane tours during the Grand Prix, strategic briefings from racing experts, and views that offer both comfort and iconic perspectives of the circuit’s most technical corners. 
  1. The Engineering Behind the Speed: Understand the ecosystem that makes the race possible. We offer an exclusive look into China’s automotive heartland in Jiading District, with visits to cutting-edge EV manufacturing facilities and the Shanghai Auto Museum, connecting the history of automotive design to its future. 
  1. A Cultural Victory Lap: The race is the centerpiece, but the experience extends throughout Shanghai. From a private gala dinner to explorations of the city’s digital revolution and ancient gardens, we frame the speed of F1 within the broader context of Shanghai’s own remarkable velocity.
