Getting in: the gates

Which entrance to use and what it puts you closest to.

  • Main Entrance, Scarperia — for the pit straight grandstands.
  • Gate 2, Poggio Secco — a short walk to the Materassi curve.
  • Gate 4, Arrabbiata — steep, but the best long-lens view on the track.

Fan tips for the weekend

Small things that make a long race day go smoothly.

  • The Arrabbiata hillside is a grass bank, so bring something to sit on.
  • Shuttle buses link the outer car parks to the main gate every 15 minutes.
  • Sunday morning traffic backs up early, so aim to arrive before 08:00.
