What is the view like from Category 17b at Monza?
Category 17b overlooks the Ascari chicane exit and the back straight beyond it. This is one of Monza's most dramatic overtaking opportunities, where drivers regularly attempt passes after the demanding left-right-left sequence of the Ascari corner complex. The grandstand is newly constructed and positioned directly opposite the original Ascari grandstands on the opposite side of the circuit.
Your seat is numbered and fixed, giving you a guaranteed view of this critical section of track. A large video screen is installed for the grandstand, allowing you to follow the race action across the entire circuit between the on-track moments you witness directly.
