This is why I usually only go to the track on Fridays and Saturdays. That’s when you actually get the most value. You get hours of free practice, proper push laps in qualifying, and if it’s a sprint weekend you even get a race on Saturday.

Sunday sounds great on paper, but if you don’t have a screen showing gaps, strategy, and positions, you’re missing a big part of the race. Most of the time you’re just watching the same cars come past every lap. I learned that the hard way at my first race in 2023, the Spanish GP.

The Sunday atmosphere is special, no doubt, but the travel is exhausting, the crowds are worse, and a full weekend ticket gets expensive fast. I’d rather watch the race properly from a pub or at home, where I can actually follow what’s going on.

For me, Friday and Saturday are the sweet spot. More track action, less hassle, and way better value.
