The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is preparing to host the World Motorcycle Championship and one of the weekend’s most sought-after visitor experiences is the Pit Walk. This behind-the-scenes stroll gives fans a close-up view of the MotoGP garages and the chance to see top riders and their teams in action, making it a highlight for many attendees.
This article explains the schedule, how to obtain the complimentary passes, the online queue system and the entry points you must use on the day of the event. All essential dates and steps are preserved so you can follow the official procedure and avoid surprises at the track.
What the Pit Walk involves and the exact timing
The Pit Walk is the organised walk through the paddock area that allows spectators to approach the garage doors and observe the paddock routines up close. The activity is scheduled for the Thursday of the Grand Prix week, specifically on 14 May. Participation is divided by ticket type: GP ticket holders and Season Ticket holders are assigned a session at 5 p.m., while GP ticket holders with the Pit Walk Experience included are assigned a session at 30 p.m.. In both cases the activity finishes at 6 p.m., allowing an organised flow of visitors and safe interaction around the garages.
How to obtain your free Pit Walk ticket
The Circuit operates a controlled distribution for the Pit Walk and all attendees must download a free Pit Walk ticket in advance. These tickets will be released on 30 April at 10 a.m. via the official ticket portal. To keep access fair and orderly, the portal requires a promotional code during the download procedure, which ties each Pit Walk pass to the spectator’s event credentials.
Ticket download procedure
To claim a pass, enter the required promotional code when prompted on the ticket portal. If you hold a regular Grand Prix ticket, use the barcode number from your Grand Prix ticket as the promotional code. Circuit Season Ticket Holders must use their season ID number, including letters, as the promotional code. The system will present separate sessions for each group: Pit Walk general, Pit Walk Experience and Pit Walk Season Ticket Holders, ensuring the correct allocation of places.
Virtual waiting room and queue
Because demand often exceeds supply, the Circuit will open a virtual waiting room one hour before tickets go on sale. Interested fans can access this waiting room from 30 April at 9 a.m. and remain there until the sale begins at 10 a.m., when the portal will create a virtual queue. Once the available passes are distributed, the portal will close the procedure and no further downloads will be possible.
Event-day rules and access logistics
Downloading a Pit Walk ticket is mandatory: fans who arrive without a downloaded Pit Walk pass will not be allowed into the activity area, even if they hold a valid Grand Prix ticket or a ticket that nominally includes the Pit Walk Experience. This rule is enforced to ensure crowd safety and to maintain the organised timetable for the paddock.
Entrances and car parks
On the day of the activity, entry points differ by ticket type. GP ticket holders and Season Ticket holders should enter via Gate 3, locating the meeting point at Car Park H2. Those with the Pit Walk Experience included on their Grand Prix ticket must use Gate 2 and assemble at Car Park H4. Follow posted signage and staff directions to arrive at the correct meeting area before your scheduled start time.
Final reminders
Plan ahead: log into the ticket portal early on 30 April to join the waiting room, have your barcode or season ID ready as the promotional code, and remember the precise schedule on 14 May. Keeping your downloaded Pit Walk ticket accessible on your phone or printed will expedite entry. By following these steps you’ll maximise your chances of enjoying one of the most memorable experiences at the Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya de MotoGP.
