Formula 1 Race Track Guide 2025 (+ Which Ones You Can Tour!)

Going to see a Formula 1 race in-person is fun and exciting – especially at famous tracks like Monaco, Silverstone, or Monza.

But did you know that you can actually visit a lot of the race tracks that F1 uses outside of race weekends? Because you totally can! Many Formula 1 race tracks host other motorsport events, offer tours, or host track days where you can get out on the track.

Below are all 24 tracks being used in the 2025 Formula 1 season, along with info on whether they offer track tours, track days, or any other way for you to visit outside of race weekends.

Formula 1 track guide for 2025

1. Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit

Melbourne, Australia

• Type of track: Street circuit

• How to get there: This street circuit is located in Albert Park, which is easily accessible by tram or bus from central Melbourne (about a 30-minute tram ride or 45-minute bus ride).

There are no official tours or track days at Albert Park, since this is a street circuit set up within a public park in Melbourne, Australia. You CAN technically drive the track yourself, though, since it uses existing roads that circle Albert Park Lake. See a map here.

2. Shanghai International Circuit

Shanghai, China

• Type of track: Permanent track
• Tours: Yes, but they cannot be booked online. Tours are reported to cost 50 CNY ($7 USD) and last for 60 minutes, and can be booked in the circuit’s Fan Shop.
• How to get there: Located northwest of the city center, the best way to get to Shanghai International Circuit is by metro. The track has its own metro stop on Line 11 (towards Huaqiao), and it takes about 60 minutes from the city center.

Shanghai’s Formula 1 circuit is easily reachable by public transit, and it does offer guided track tours daily on non-race days. These tours can be booked between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. by visiting the Fan Shop behind the main grandstand (near the Costa Coffee). Tours last one hour and include visiting the main grandstand, media center, team buildings, and podium. There’s really no info online about these tours, though, so you just have to hope someone is around to guide one if you go!

3. Suzuka International Racing Course

• Type of track: Permanent track
• Tours: While tours of the track aren’t available, there is a whole racing-inspired mini theme park here, including go-karting, plus the Honda Racing Gallery.

From Nagoya, you can take a 50-minute train to Shiroko Station, and then it’s a 15-minute drive by shuttle bus or taxi to reach the circuit. Alternatively, if you’re coming from Osaka, it’s a 1.5-hour train ride to Shiroko Station.

Suzuka does not offer guided track tours, but you can still visit the circuit and try one of many attractions – like perhaps the Circuit Challenger, where you can drive an EV go-kart around the Suzuka Circuit Racing Course (East Course).

The tour includes driving the track with stops at the pit lane and Senna Monument, a visit to Race Control, plus a chance to stand on the podium. The tour is not offered every day, though.

The circuit is located within a public park, so even on days when tours aren’t running, visitors can still visit things like the Senna Memorial and Gilles Villeneuve Monument.

Imola is situated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, which is home to many luxury car factories. If you’re in the area and a Formula 1 fan, you’ll probably also want to visit the Museum Ferrari Maranello and Museum Enzo Ferrari Modena.

Las Vegas very briefly held the Caesars Palace Grand Prix from 1981-82 on a temporary F1 circuit set up in the parking lot of the Caesars Palace hotel. The infamous “E”-shaped track coupled with the intense heat of Vegas wrecked havoc on the drivers, however, and Formula 1 quickly abandoned the venue.

Las Vegas was re-added to the F1 calendar in 2023 with a new street circuit that places a strait right down the famous Las Vegas Strip. This race has been more popular with the drivers, and it seems like it will outlast its predecessor.

Since the circuit uses already-existing streets in Las Vegas, no track tours or other activities are offered outside of race weekend. However you can see the whole “track” for yourself, including the Strip, the Bellagio Fountains, the Sphere, and more.

In 2025, Las Vegas is also opening a brand new Formula 1-themed attraction called Grand Prix Plaza, which is offering F1-branded karting experiences, race simulators, an interactive museum-like space, plus an eatery and lounge. It’ll be a great spot for F1 fans to visit outside of race weekend.
