Belgian GP 2025 – Gold 9 Bis: Pole Position Grandstand for Start-Line Drama and Elevated Views

If you want to feel the raw adrenaline of an F1 race start, few locations deliver the spectacle quite like the Gold 9 BIS Pole Position Grandstand at the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix. 

Located on the outside of the main straight, this grandstand offers an exceptional view of the grid formation, pit lane operations, and the crucial first acceleration phase as the race roars to life.

Closest Grandstand to the Start Line

As an extension of the main Gold 9 grandstand, Gold 9 BIS is set just beyond the start line, offering a front-facing view of the launch point of every lap. From here, you’ll see the tension build as drivers line up, then explode into motion towards Turn 1 (La Source). While the view of the corner itself is partially limited by adjacent structures, the energy and noise of the start are fully immersive.

Gold 9 BIS: Structure and Comfort

• Uncovered seating: Exposed to weather, so be prepared for both sun and rain
  
• Fixed-back individual seats for added comfort during long sessions
  
• Positioned on a natural elevation for better sightlines above fencing
  
• Best visibility is offered from central, higher-row seats
  

Amenities and On-Site Features

Spectators benefit from giant video screens across the pit buildings and additional smaller displays near the front of the grandstand. Nearby food outlets, merchandise vendors, and restroom access make for a well-supported race experience.

Access is convenient from Blue Parking 14 (VIP and accessible) or Yellow Spa parking, located around 20 minutes away on foot. Campers can reach the area easily from the Yellow Spa campsite.
