- Numbered seat
Silver 7 - Chicane highlighted; other sections in grey.
Silver 7 is positioned at Turn 11, giving you a front-row view of one of the circuit's prime overtaking spots. Drivers arrive under heavy braking, setting up their approach to La Monumental, and the combination of hard braking and commitment required makes this a reliably action-packed vantage point.
The stand occupies an elevated section of the Chicane complex, where two consecutive turns push the cars to their limits before drivers accelerate onto the banked La Monumental at full throttle. The elevation gives a clear sightline over the action without obstruction.
Note that there is no podium or pit lane visibility from this stand, and no big screen is listed for Silver 7. Your focus here is entirely on the track action at Turn 11.
What is the view like from Silver 7 at Madring?
Silver 7 is positioned at Turn 11, the Chicane, an elevated grandstand that overlooks a key overtaking zone. This section of track demands sharp braking and precise cornering from drivers before they commit to the banked entry of La Monumental at speed. The stand's location means you will see the moment drivers lose places through heavy deceleration and the moments they regain them through aggressive acceleration into the high-speed corner that follows.
Each seat is numbered, so your position is guaranteed and allocated in advance. The circuit is currently undergoing development, and grandstand configurations may shift before the event, so confirmation of your exact seat location will be provided closer to race day.
