Grada 14 at the Mexico City GP

Foro Sol Sur

What you see

Grada 14, also called Foro Sol Sur, is the southern half of the stadium the cars drive through, now officially Estadio GNP Seguros. It looks over Turns 13, 14 and 15, the slowest corners on the lap, so expect cars in single file rather than overtaking. The podium ceremony and pre-race driver interviews happen here.¹

One big screen is visible, above the podium between the Paddock Club buildings near Turn 13.¹

Shade and seats

A roof was added in 2024 but does not reach the front rows. Because the stand faces north, the sun moves behind you: the guide reports the whole stand in shade by 14:00, with sections GNP02, VE 20, VE 22 and VE 24 the last to lose the sun, around 13:00. The race.mx guide calls it semi-covered.^1,3

Seating is concrete steps, not chairs. Verde (VE) sections run from row 1 at the front to row 14; Naranja (NA) and GNP sections run to row 32. Seat numbers rise from right to left and restart at 1 in each section.¹

Cushions are banned. Fan guides suggest bringing something soft for the concrete steps, but the promoter's security list bans seat backs and seat pads (item 27) and chairs (item 28). A folded jacket is allowed (item 16 of the allowed list).^1,4

Which gate

The Oversteer48 guide puts Grada 14 in the Gris zone. The promoter says the Gris zone enters through Puerta 2 of the Palacio de los Deportes; the Oversteer48 guide says Gate 1 and a pedestrian bridge over the track, under five minutes on foot. Follow your ticket.^1,2

You can only enter the zone printed on your ticket, through the gate assigned to it.^2,5 The nearest Metro stop the guide names is Velódromo on Line 9, about 10 minutes on foot to Gate 1.¹
