Grandstands
Watch the Formula E weekend from a grandstand seat with a view of the start, the first corner or the pit lane. Four of Brands Hatch's grandstands are open for Formula E: Paddock Hill, Hailwoods, Pit Straight and Desire Wilson.
How grandstand seats are sold
Seats are sold in four categories rather than by grandstand. Each category is a price band, and some have seats in more than one stand. Pick a category and a day (Saturday, Sunday or the whole weekend), then either let us find the best seats together for you, or choose your own on the seat map.
| Category | Grandstands |
|---|---|
| Category 1 | Paddock Hill (upper rows) |
| Category 2 | Paddock Hill, Pit Straight, Hailwoods |
| Category 3 | Paddock Hill, Hailwoods, Desire Wilson (covered back rows) |
| Category 4 | Desire Wilson |
A grandstand seat is in addition to your admission ticket.
Where the grandstands are
Paddock Hill Grandstand
One of the most famous views in motorsport. Watch the cars charge down the start/finish straight and plunge into the steep Paddock Hill Bend, with the field jostling for position into the first corner. Paddock Hill and Druids are key places for overtaking.
- Category 1: the upper rows (M to Z) of two blocks, the best view over the bend
- Category 2: the lower rows of those blocks, and the whole of a third block
- Category 3: the fourth block
Wheelchair viewing: Paddock Hill Grandstand has a dedicated wheelchair viewing area at the front, free for wheelchair users plus one carer. Spaces are booked by phone with our ticket office on 0344 225 4422, not online. See Accessibility.
Hailwoods Grandstand
Superb views of Paddock Hill Bend and the run up Hailwoods Hill to Druids, a key overtaking point, then the pack filtering down into Graham Hill Bend. The stand is next to Hailwoods Restaurant.
- Category 2: one end section
- Category 3: the rest of the stand
Pit Straight Grandstand
Facing the pit lane on Brabham Straight: soak up the pre-race build-up and the start, with a bird's-eye view of the pit lane action all weekend.
- Category 2: the whole stand
Desire Wilson Grandstand
Close to the start line, with views down the start/finish straight and into Paddock Hill Bend. The back two rows are covered, giving some protection from the weather.
- Category 3: the covered back two rows (J and K)
- Category 4: the rest of the stand
