Turn 1 Grandstand
The Turn 1 Grandstand provides a fantastic view of the track's opening corners, making it one of the best grandstands to witness the drivers battling for position at the start of the race. Beyond that, it offers a great vantage point of the pit lane exit and allows spectators to track the cars navigating through turns 2 and 3.

Adjacent to turn 1, the University Grandstands provide a direct view of cars accelerating through turns 1, 2, and 3.

For a complete Bahrain Grand Prix experience, ideally set aside three days, from Friday to Sunday. This time frame covers everything from practice and qualifying to the main race. But if time is limited or you're mainly interested in the race, just attending on Sunday is perfectly viable.

In March, the weather in Bahrain is generally mild and pleasant, making it an ideal time for the Grand Prix.
During the day, temperatures typically range from the mid-20s to low 30s °C (mid-70s to low 90s °F), which can feel quite warm, especially during the afternoon practice sessions and support events.
However, as the Bahrain Grand Prix is a night race, the temperature tends to cool down by the evening, offering comfortable conditions for spectators as they enjoy the main event under the floodlights.
It's advisable to prepare for both scenarios: wear sunscreen and stay hydrated during the day, and perhaps carry a light jacket or sweater for the cooler evening temperatures.
The desert climate means humidity is usually low, but it's always good to check the specific forecast closer to the event, as conditions can vary.
