Most Hillstand tickets are offered to native followers, however two sections can be found for normal buy, K2 and C2. In our opinion, one of the best hillstand part is C2, which provides views over a lot of the southern half of the circuit, particularly Turns 9 to 11. There additionally glorious panoramic views of the ultimate flip and tower advanced. It additionally provides safety from the rain and solar, which is essential consideration within the tropical warmth of Malaysia. Nonetheless, it’s a good suggestion to convey alongside a hat, sunscreen, rain jacket, umbrella, plus a folding chair or one thing to sit down on. The C2 space is fairly huge and it wasn’t beforehand a drawback to seek out a great place right here to observe the motion. This may increasingly change in 2026, as we expect the race to be very properly attended. We additionally suggest making the hassle to go to C2 on Friday to soak up the elevated views of the circuit – if ‘Free Friday’ applies on the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. C2 Hillstand Video
