It is always worth it to go testing – If you don’t want to spend £250 a day on the hospitality then go for one of the circuit tours that cost €50 as this gets you entry to the circuit for the day (usually €18 without a tour) and access to all the open grandstands, as well as a tour of the circuit, including the paddock (if your lucky you may see a driver or 2), pit buildings and a drive around the inner circuit roads right next to the cars on track, you can also go onto the roof of the pit buildings and look down on the cars which is great. Book the tour on line at the circuit website as they tend to sell out quite quickly if you do want to go for that option. Last year the Red Bull drivers ventured out into some of the grandstands to sign autographs – you just need to be in the right place at the right time for stuff like that.
I would buy tickets direct from the circuit website, it is usually cheaper than 3rd party sites and an advantage with the Hockenheim site is you can pick your seats.
There are supposed to be shuttle buses from the train station but it is also not so far that it is possible to walk if you prefer that to a packed bus.Hi Shlemanas. The turn 7/8 chicane is a decent spot for general admission and it also has view of a large screen to help follow the race. It does get quite busy though. You are spot on about the pelouse privilege area – fantastic views but you can’t buy tickets as it is reserved for circuit members (you can access that area during the tests though!)
