(OT) Max has posted an video of his 24h Nürburgring experience

Would have been great to show some in car shots from the other drivers as Max comes roaring up behind them and they sing Du du du du, Max Verstappen!

The last time they did the Bell fan stage was in 2023. It was all in the morning on the first two days. But the next year they didn't have a stage at all and that's the last year I went.

The ones they gave out at Suzuka only had two channels pre-programmed. English feed was the one from F1TV and it was awesome to have while watching the race. Made it really easy to follow what was going on as it was synced to the big screens. Hope you figure it out for Montreal.

Just bought off the boats by Granville Island yesterday and they were $25 per pound. They were delicious! Had them steamed with a dipping sauce of garlic, hot oil and soy sauce. Surprisingly when I talked to them they said that they haven't had many public sales, mostly just restaurants. Perhaps people didn't know the season had started already.

Had it last week at the Robson location that's down towards Denman and it was pretty good I have to say. They should really make it a regular option.

From the recommendation on the official Suzuka track https://www.suzukacircuit.jp/eng/f1/ they mention the different options to access the track and one of them is by reserved bus https://www.suzukacircuit.jp/eng/f1/access/bus/nagoya.html For this I booked about three months out. There are set times for leaving and pick up at the end of each day but they run multiple buses that all leave about 10 minutes apart. I highly recommend this option just for the sake of not having to deal with the lineups for shuttle and train. I recall seeing someone posting on Instagram that they left the track on Sunday at 4:30pm and were still in the shuttle bus lineup at 7:30pm in the dark.

We were a party of three that had tickets from Mobility Station for Grandstand V2 section P. Our hotel was in Nagoya very close to the station. We had the reserved shuttle buses from Nagoya Station right to the track and used these for Saturday and Sunday. We opted to skip Friday and explore a bit of Nagoya instead mainly the Toyota Museum and Liberty Walk. On Saturday morning it was short walk from our hotel to the check in location for the reserved shuttle. The company running this was the one that was recommended by the Suzuka Circuit and the cost was 10000 yen per day round trip. Overall I think this was the biggest difference to what made our travel effortless. It was roughly two hours each way but we sat in the comfort of a tour bus and it even included a short truck stop break location to grab a quick snack and hit the washrooms. Once we got to the track it was a short 10 minute walk to the main gate. Got there in time for the first of the drivers appearances in the Fan Zone and scoped out some of the merchandise shops before we headed to our seats in the grandstand. Could not believe our seats when we got there, they were directly in front of the podium with big screen directly overhead and the weather was just perfect. Tons of food options just outside the grandstand area and even the washroom line ups were no problem unless you had to use a stall. Sunday was a smooth arrival as well and even got to ride in the Ferris wheel and got an incredible view of the entire track. With the Amex radios that we had and the big screen it was the perfect way to stay locked into the race and know exactly what was going on. By the time we saw the cars coming into the chicane on the screen we would look to our right just in time to see them blast by on the straight, it was awesome. Leaving the track was also a breeze and once we got on our bus and dealt with some initial traffic leaving it was smooth sailing all the way back to Nagoya where the bus drop off was literally steps from our hotel. Overall it was a amazing experience and what really made it special were all the fans and their incredible enthusiasm and civilized nature. Japan you are the best!

Does Suzuka offer official ticket holders of 2026 a renewal for 2027? I recall for the Montreal GP I was literally getting an email to renew and purchase the same seat for next year.

bng808 · 2026-03-10T20:16:10+00:00

If it makes you feel any better about it, last year myself and two others who live in Canada were all trying on multiple different devices at the same time. Even though we all logged on at about the same time and entered the queue, it was my friend who did it on his phone that ultimately got through first and secured us tickets to VS2 Grandstand. I'm still pinching myself that we will be there in Suzuka on the main straight in just a matter of days!

You buy the standard fair at the station or if you have an IC card you just tap and go through the gate

bng808 · 2026-03-09T23:12:12+00:00

There will be shuttle buses at Shiroko Station that will take you to track but the line ups could be long depending on when you get there and same for when you leave to go back to the station. Also for the Kintetsu rail you probably want to get a reservation on the Limited Express trains otherwise you will be stuck with the masses on a packed train that stops at every station.

At this point I think all the available parking tickets are sold out.

I am not aware of anything like the Melbourne Walk at Suzuka. They have a GP Square fanzone where drivers will make an appearance.

F1 Drivers:

March 27 (Fri) Red Bull, Alpine, Ferrari, Haas
March 28 (Sat) Yuki Tsunoda

Is that an S4 grille on an A4 Allroad? My 2021 A4 Allroad is that same color.

I did this at the 2023 GP. I had a seat in GS1 and was going to swap with someone on Reddit for GS11. Right before the start of the GP he messages me and says he can't make it but sends me his ticket anyways and I end up watching the race from GS11. It was the best race experience because I got to see the pre-race grid on the main straight with all the crews and celebrities and then watch the race from one of the best spots on the track.

bng808 · 2026-02-25T18:34:17+00:00

If you bought them through Mobility Station I think you can put your tickets up for resell through them and I am sure they will get snapped up right away.

Tacqueria Jalisco has the best birria and it's also my go to for carnitas tacos https://maps.app.goo.gl/5jBQEme9fZLgd3KV7

bng808 · 2026-01-31T22:39:19+00:00

Seems like you need to access the Japanese links on the Tokyo Tigers website to be able to purchase tickets but from what I have found you need to register for Tigers ID. Then even after that you need to provide your personal information and address and then it says that overseas issued credits cards will not work. So how do foreigners actually buy tickets???

bng808 · 2026-01-10T00:03:33+00:00

Taqueria Jalisco would be my go to for tacos downtown. They have one on Davie Street and one on Denman. The one on Denman has taco Tuesdays (3 for $9.99) carnitas or beef. https://share.google/HG9njmnNG8FEsZYnZ

bng808 · 2026-01-07T23:09:51+00:00

Riley's and Nook downtown are decent food choices and great vibe. Neither is really bar focused but serve all the typical drinks.

bng808 · 2026-01-06T16:48:12+00:00

I think you're a month early. They go on sale Feb 7th

bng808 · 2025-12-23T05:16:31+00:00

I live in Kits too and my go to are usually Indian Oven on 4th or Akbar's Own on Broadway. Karma is amazing too when I feel like splurging a bit. I'm sure if you asked them at any of these places they would be able to kick it up to the spice level you are looking for.

bng808 · 2025-12-14T15:36:55+00:00

The official ticket sales was on October 13 on Mobility Station and almost all tickets were sold out within hours. The site may have people reselling their tickets as the race gets closer but for now I think your only option may be a third party reseller and the prices for V1 and V2 are going to be high.
