HIGHLIGHTED AREAS
Fan Zone
The Fan Zone will be located in the public area behind the Main Grandstand and will host activities such as eSports simulators, the pit stop challenge, selfie recreation with drivers, augmented reality pit lane portals, wind tunnel simulation, podium recreation, and a championship trophy display, as well as a single-seater, among others.

Green Zone – Kids Zone
Both the Green Zone and the Kids Zone will be located in the Crater Forest area.
In the Green Zone, visitors will be able to find an artistic installation of mirrored cubes reflecting the most biodiverse area of the Circuit (Circuit loves nature), as well as a biodiversity workshop to make badges. There will also be a Biciscalextric for adults and children, a scalextric powered by bicycles.
The youngest children will be able to carry out a recycled car workshop, creating single-seaters from recycled materials; and there will also be a circuit in the forest, with different psychomotor skills proposals.
Pelouse Jove
The Pelouse Jove will also feature a variety of events. There will be a stage with a giant screen on which artists such as Lolo & Sosaku; DJ Buenavista; Bluma Beat and Lau Neve will perform. These artists will be passing through the space between Saturday and Sunday throughout the day. The space will also have a sculpture in the form of a single-seater on which the urban art couple PUM will be creating a three-dimensional work of art, as well as a make-up and manicure area.
Food Fest
In the area behind the Stadium, specifically in the former heliport, the Circuit will set up a large gastronomic area with tables for the attendees to rest under the shade. In that location there will also be an artistic installation emulating the wake left by F1 cars running at top speed, made with fabrics in height.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Fans can once again be thrilled by various proposals that allow them to be closer than ever to their idols and the F1 racing sphere, with access to exclusive areas such as the track itself or the Pit Lane.
