The permanent stands are colour coded and wrap around the circuit stadium style, so every stand sees the whole lap. MotoGP official figures put grandstand seating at up to 150,000. The operator groups them by access route: the Straight Tribune, Tribune Boxes, Orange Tribune, Yellow Tribune and the accessible (PMR) Tribune on Route A, the Blue and Green Tribunes on Route C, and the Red and White Tribunes on Route D. Visitors with reduced mobility can only use the areas set aside for them, and their ticket must match.
Facilities
At MotoGP the operator lists lockers, information points, helmet storage, restaurants, toilets with baby changing, a shopping area, giant screens, first aid posts and a complaints office. Smaller events run a shorter list of the same services.

Getting there
The circuit is in Cheste, west of Valencia. The operator gives about 25 minutes from Valencia by train or taxi, 25 to 45 minutes by motorbike, and 30 to 120 minutes by car or coach depending on traffic.
On MotoGP weekends the train has limited capacity (8,000 seats) and the stop is about 7 minutes' walk from the entrances. Taxis have a dedicated access road that skips the queues at the entrance and exit. Car, motorbike and coach parking sits near the entrances, subject to space, and each group of stands has its own vehicle route (A, C and D, with B kept for taxis).
Public transport
Trains from Valencia take about 25 minutes, with the stop about 7 minutes' walk from the entrances. At MotoGP train capacity is limited and return queues can run 30 to 120 minutes.
Leaving the venue
MotoGP: the operator's own estimates for the return are 30 to 120 minutes of queueing for the train and 15 to 45 minutes for a taxi, with the dedicated taxi road the quickest way out. Car journeys back to Valencia take 30 to 120 minutes depending on traffic.
