Guests enjoy chef-led culinary stations, curated tapas and appetisers, unlimited drinks, and live jazz in an elegant lounge styled after a vintage Madrid club. Covered seating with large video screens is complemented by optional access to an exclusive grandstand positioned to view drivers exiting the tunnel and navigating turns 18 and 19 at high speed.
What to expect from Traction Club hospitality at Madring
Traction Club combines fine dining, entertainment, and circuit viewing in one premium package. Your day is centred in the IFEMA building, where a stylishly appointed lounge recreates the ambience of a traditional Madrid club, complete with live jazz on a central stage, elegant wood panelling, houseplants, and vintage rugs. This covered setting provides all-day protection while you watch the race on large live-feed screens, or you can step outside to reserved grandstand seating for direct circuit action.
Culinary offerings centre on gourmet stations overseen by chefs, featuring curated starters, main courses, and desserts, alongside a menu of traditional tapas and gourmet appetisers. All-day access to sparkling wine, beer, wines, spirits, and soft drinks is included; premium Champagne and spirits are available to purchase. The Auditorium offers theatre-style access to the main stage and live music entertainment, with exclusive sightlines to guest speakers and performances.
The grandstand view
The exclusive grandstand seating is positioned to capture a critical section of the circuit. You will watch drivers as they exit the tunnel, then charge into turn 18 before accelerating into turn 19, a high-speed left-hander where vehicles reach speeds of up to 260 km/h. This vantage point offers sustained action across a demanding sequence rather than a single corner.
