Hello Vital!
I will attend A1 for the first time ever, flying in from Sweden.
A few questions, if you Pros have time to answer.
- How's parking in-out, will you sit on the parking lot 1-2h after the race is over waiting to get out?
- How's traffic in the area, I'm planning on staying in Costa Mesa (as it's familiar, been there before). Going North/South in that case, will it be heavy traffic to/from ?
- If you would stay in the hotels to the east from the stadium instead, close to the Disney resort, is it walking distance/dangerous walk? Rider shares maybe preferred?
- Any good advice for a first timer at A1?
cheers! See you there!
There won’t be much traffic at all on a Saturday afternoon. Once you get on the 55 North you’ll be at the stadium in 15 minutes from Costa Mesa. Traffic getting out of the stadium always sucks unless you leave early. I suggest parking across the street at Katella and Stadium Xing, there’s a parking structure there for the stadium and it’s much easier to get in and out of.
there’s also a couple of places to eat there as well if you want to go a little earlier.
A1 is always a great time, have fun!
Parking is something like $50+, so that’s something to keep in mind as well
Get 300 level seats, club level, 1st upper deck.
View is excellent and only 7 rows if I remember right.
We’ve only attended A1 once, it was a couple of years ago and we stayed in a hotel west of the stadium.
Then we took an Uber to and from the race.
It worked well for us and we would do it that way again.
