Why Turn 12 Is a Must for F1® Fans

Turn 12 is the culmination of COTA’s long back straight—the fastest section of the track. It’s a prime overtaking spot where drivers brake from high speeds into a tight left-hand corner, often leading to dramatic position changes and last-second divebomb maneuvers. Sitting in the Turn 12 Grandstand means being at the center of overtakes, lock-ups, and wheel-to-wheel combat.

From this location, you also get an expansive view of the end of the straight and the start of the technical sector that follows. The energy here is electric, as fans collectively hold their breath during daring braking moves and cheer as cars jostle for position in one of the most demanding corners of the track.

With elevated, seat-back style seating and large video screens in direct view, the Turn 12 Grandstand ensures you won’t miss a single moment of the race, no matter where it’s unfolding on the track. The vantage point offers excellent visibility of the approach, braking zone, and corner exit—giving you a complete perspective of driver skill and team strategy.
