For those who won\u2019t be flying around the world to see races, the team at Australian streetwear brand Culture Kings has been busy analysing almost 250 venues across the country to find the best spots to watch the action. From this they have drawn a Perth top five.<\/p>\n
They have ranked venues on screen quality and availability, reputation and reviews, atmosphere and amenities, ready for the Chinese GP on March 15, Japanese GP on March 29, and the rest of the 24-race season between now and December.<\/p>\n
Justin Hillberg, ANZ president at Culture Kings, says: \u201cFormula 1 is a global cultural moment that brings people together, whether that\u2019s trackside, watching with friends or expressing their passion through what they wear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re seeing interest in F1 year-round across our ranges and dedicated in-store experiences, and when the season kicks off in Australia, that energy is going to be felt across hospitality and retail.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe growth of Formula 1 shows how sport today sits at the intersection of entertainment and fashion. Fans aren\u2019t just tuning in for the race, they\u2019re showing up for the culture around it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether that\u2019s what you\u2019re wearing, where you\u2019re watching or who you\u2019re watching with, it\u2019s about being part of something bigger. That\u2019s what makes moments like this so powerful across Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis ranking celebrates the venues that are truly matching the scale, atmosphere and excitement of the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
