Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the electrifying atmosphere and passionate fans at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, calling it one of the best F1 experiences. The venue is well-equipped with facilities and offers exciting track day opportunities.

"First time in Mexico City for first time NASCAR in Mexico. It was so much FUN!"
Lisa Wood
"It was our first time visiting, and we had a wonderful experience. Getting in and out of the Autódromo was easy. This was by far the best Formula 1 experience we've had. The food selection was excellent, and despite the large crowds, the lines for food weren’t too bad. If you have the chance to visit this stadium, I highly recommend it—it's one of the best experiences I've ever had."
Mari Aguilar
"We came for the F1. It was a nice venue, plenty of facilities and nice people. We walked form the Centre of Mexico City to the track and it was a big old walk but OK. Uber was also very easy and super cheap to get there."
