Budget Planner – 2018 Mexican Grand Prix

Use our budget planner to work out the cost of your trip to the Mexico Grand Prix on October 26-28, 2018.

Mexico is one of the most expensive destinations on the Formula 1 calendar, mainly thanks to the high price of tickets for the race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Thankfully, Mexico City is a lot cheaper away from the track, especially when it comes to accommodation, getting around and eating out. Read Marie Misso’s Mexican GP trip report!
