FAN GUIDE

The WorldSBK paddock’ s Fan Zone features many spectator-friendly features. Some of them are present at every round and some more tailored to each host venue. But make no mistake, you are actively encouraged to make the most of paddock life in all its many facets at every round.

PIT WALK

Spectators inside the main body of the paddock can take part in the now traditional and much-anticipated Pit Walk and rider autograph signing sessions. These usually happen on Saturday evenings and on Sundays, between the regular practice and race sessions. Naturally, the crowds can descend on pitlane only when the bikes and pitlane equipment are all safely taken back inside their pit boxes. The Pit Walk, as you might expect, is an experience that allows you to enter pitlane itself( if not quite each pit box) to get a unique view of the circuit. And, more importantly, you get to see inside the garages of all the teams, while staying behind the security barriers, of course. The Pit Walk sessions deliver another potential opportunity to get a selfie taken with your favourite riders. Being able to meet the competitors in person for an autograph session, and maybe even a short chat outside their garages, means you are as up close and personal to the riders, bikes and their colourful working environments as it is possible to be. There is also no better way to get a close-up look at the machines in their natural environment, in between practice, qualifying or race sessions. TV pictures can take you inside each team’ s pit garages from afar, but nothing beats experiencing the sights and sounds of a working pit garage like witnessing them firsthand. Specific times for the pit walks will be communicated at each round; then you just follow the directions of the organisers and marshals to make sure you get a personal POV experience from truly inside the WorldSBK racing world.

Access to the Pit Walk is possible only buying a supplementary wristband in advance.
