Formula Escapes are the best…

We used Formula Escapes for a previous booking in 2022, and returned this year. The company are fantastic. Communication is top tier. Booking and itinerary, tickets and travel are all planned for you, taking away the stress of planning on your own. You meet other like minded people on the trips too, making some lovely lasting memories. Everything is made effortless and nothing is too much trouble. We will be booking again for 2026!

Brilliant trip

I was quite nervous about our trip to the Belgian grand Prix as it was just me and my two children and we had no idea what we were doing! I didn't need to worry, the service from Formula Escapes was excellent, from booking to the trip itself everything was plain sailing. They keep you fully informed via a WhatsApp group and are always on hand to answer any questions and we honestly had no issues at all, it was fabulous. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to others and we will definitely use them again when we go to our next grand Prix.

Just arrived back from an excellent F1…

Just arrived back from an excellent F1 weekend in Spa with F1 Escapes. Great communication prior and during event. Good organisation throughout....flights/transfers/choice of hotel etc. Chris and his Team all v good and knowledgeable, striking a good balance of telling you what you need to know, being available when needed etc. Having previously used a competitor this proved a much better and more professional experience....Will definitely be using again in the future.

ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE!

What an absolute experience. This was honestly a dream come true, to attend a Grand Prix and I thought for my first one, it had to be the iconic Spa-Francorchamps! Now because this was also my first international trip…. I had not got a clue what to do and that’s when I came across these absolute legends, Formula Escapes.

From meeting us when we arrived at Cologne, to all the transfers to the hotel, circuit and back to the airport… and for the unforgettable experience they created for me was sensation. I loved how everything was so organised, so planned (and for someone who has autism was a big help! To know that I didn’t have to stress !)

A massive thank you to Sam, Chris, Nik and Ali for looking after me during the weekend, you guys were bloody brilliant!

I cannot wait for Monza 2026 with you guys, I know already it’s going to be another unforgettable experience!

Amazing team and organisation!

First time using Formula Escapes for a race weekend, and what an experience! From initial booking, then greeted at the airport by Sam and Ali to being dropped back at the airport the organisation and helpfulness of the whole team was faultless. A nice location for the hotel with daily coach transfers to and from the circuit on time with friendly drivers made the weekend so much better. The guys also had great knowledge of the circuit and advise on where to eat locally which meant a totally stress free weekend. Cannot wait to book our next escape and will recommend to anyone thinking of doing an escorted tour of a Grand Prix weekend.

Just back from Spa

Just back from Spa, our 3rd
trip with Formula Escapes and another great weekend.
Great service from the start, prompt replies to emails and our requests accommodated.
During our stay Chris, Sam, Nik and Ali were there to ensure everything went smoothly.
We had excellent seats at the bottom of the start and finish straight, our choice, unfortunately this was over an hours walk to where the coach was parked so we didn’t arrive back at our hotel until quite late in the evening. This was through no fault of Formula Escapes and the team kept in contact with us during our walk and were there waiting when we arrived back at the coach with much needed cold drinks.
Our family including our 7 year old grandson and 17 year old granddaughter had the best weekend and we are already discussing where to go with Formula Escapes next. Thank you.

Absolutely Perfect

Flawless experience from start to finish! I initially enquired about tickets for the Spa weekend and everything about the booking process was perfect! This was the first time doing a GP abroad so was a little scared as I’d only done Silverstone before but Rachel handled everything for me and even helped with booking myself and my partner flights to Barcelona straight after the grand prix for a holiday. She booked our hotel and transfers for the onward journey and even offered to book excursions but I was happy to do this myself. Everything is so well managed for the event. All documentation is given 7-10 days beforehand. I had a slight blip with my Barcelona flight as Ryanair decided to change it but Chris quickly sorted this out for me and got me on an earlier flight with Eurowings instead. I’d like to say thank you so much to Chris, Sam and Ali for helping myself and my partner all weekend! The group conversation keeping everyone up to date all weekend was great and they were all on hand to answer questions. Couldn’t have had a better weekend! Thank you to all of you!

Silverstone 2025

Everything from start to finish is planned so well. 3rd time I have booked with Formula Escapes, already planning my 4th time to Zandvoort with them in 2026. Absolutely nothing is a problem to them, they go out of their way to make it an unforgettable experience. Cannot recommend this company enough.

Would recommend

Although this was an organised tour it was more like a group of friends had organised the tour. Chris and Nik have excellent knowledge on the events and can answer any questions and concerns you have. You are in safe hands. I would use Formula Escapes again and would recommend them if you are thinking of booking an event.

Spanish F1

I’ve recently returned from the Spanish F1 in Barcelona , I travelled alone but needn’t have been concerned , the whole thing was extremely well organised no problems with airport or circuit transfers. Chris , Rachel and Nick did a fantastic job I would highly recommend Formula Escapes the only thing I would say is that from my point of view I would say it’s best to pay that bit extra and have a covered grandstand seat, I found the heat exhausting . Great trip , hoping to book again .

Another amazing trip

What a fabulous time we had at the Barcelona Grand Prix. Chris, Rachel and Nick were absolutely amazing they ensured everything flowed smoothly over the whole of our trip. Its the extra touches like staying in the same hotel as you, hosting the cocktail party so you get to meet other like minded guests and there knowledge of the circuit and best ways to get around once inside, This is the third time we have used them and it will not be the last, they are the market leaders in their field. Once again thank you so much for a memorable time.

Excellent, friendly service

This was our first experience of going to an F1 race and formula escapes made everything so easy and enjoyable.
We were fully advised with all required information at every stage, from initial pick up at the airport, transfers to the track, and return trip to the airport. Nothing was too much trouble for the FE team. Everything was well organised by the very knowledgeable friendly staff.
Well done Chris, Rachel, and Nik, for providing us with an excellent stress free experience.
