Sixty per cent of the seats for the race, which will take place on the streets of the city around the port area, rather than at the racetrack on the outskirts of Valencia, have been snapped up by Spanish fans. The remaining forty per cent have been sold abroad, with fans from Italy, France, the UK and Germany showing the most interest.
Jorge Martínez Aspar, Chief Executive of Valmor Sports, said: “We knew that there was lots of expectation but frankly it never crossed my mind that sell-out would be reached in ten days. From now on we will have to reconsider the demand and give way to the different kinds of products that we have created, such as the Motor Box Experience that will take place in Feria Valencia, which is a great opportunity for the younger fans to enjoy Formula 1 in Valencia, with all the incentives and at a very competitive price".
The Valencia Street Circuit layout has been divided into four areas, with spectator areas provided for each.
