While we celebrate FORMULA 1® enthusiasm, racing-branded apparel, team wear, and caps are not permitted in the suite. Think refined, practical elegance.
47A® is known as the people's suite-like visiting a friend's house where the human experience is just as important as the sporting atmosphere.
Our guests include international business leaders, respected entrepreneurs, and influential individuals at various stages in their careers and lives.
While each guest has their own unique path to success, they all share a like-minded, inspired, and optimistic approach to life.
Although the Paddock Club is more commonly known as the place to be at FORMULA 1®, with its above the pits location and highly publicised celebrity environment, we take a different approach.
Instead 47A® prioritises the on track views and a more private environment to host our guests. For this reason our suite is located in the Chicane Upper Premium Marquee where we have incredible views of all the Turn 1 action.
Our private suite, with its purpose built bespoke design, allows us the ability to provide a unique and authentic FORMULA 1® experience that embodies our style of refined class and subtle sophistication, while tastefully celebrating the sport's rich history.
Each day of the Grand Prix usually finishes around 6:30pm after the on track action has concluded.
To ensure a stress free departure among the vast crowds we have a dedicated fleet of Mercedes v250 luxury shuttles which will safely transport all of our guests into the CBD, to the Crown precinct. From there guests are free to continue on into the evening with their individual plans.
