RaceTrackStays

Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is RaceTrackStays?

RaceTrackStays is a curated accommodation directory for motorsport enthusiasts. We connect racing fans with hand-picked hotels, resorts, rentals, and boutique stays near the world's best racing circuits. Think of us as your go-to guide for finding the perfect place to stay on race weekends.

Is RaceTrackStays a booking platform?

No. We are a discovery service, and no booking is completed on this site. The "Check prices" controls hand you to a booking service, which pays us a commission if you book; where we hold a property's own website we print that alongside, so you can always go direct instead. Either way the reservation is between you and whoever takes it.

Is RaceTrackStays free to use?

Yes. Browsing and searching is free and there is nothing to sign up for. The site is paid for by commission: if you follow a booking link from here and book, the booking service pays us a share. It costs you nothing extra — the price is the same either way — and it buys no property a better position, because hotels are ordered by measured distance from the circuit.

Which racing series do you cover?

We cover circuits and events from Formula 1, NASCAR, MotoGP, WEC (World Endurance Championship), IndyCar, IMSA, Formula E, Supercars Championship, and many GT racing series. We're continually adding new circuits and events.

Finding Stays

How do I find accommodation near a specific track?

You can browse our Tracks page and click on any circuit to see curated stays nearby. Each track detail page shows accommodations sorted by distance, with filters for property type and distance radius. You can also browse by Destination to find stays in a specific city or region.

How are the distances calculated?

Distances shown are straight-line distances between the accommodation's coordinates and the circuit's, calculated rather than estimated. Actual driving distances and times will be longer, and on race weekend considerably longer. We recommend confirming travel logistics directly with your accommodation provider.

Are the prices shown on your site accurate?

We display general price bands (from budget to luxury) to give you a sense of pricing. We do not hold nightly rates and do not quote them. Actual rates vary by date, season, and availability, especially during race weekends when demand is typically higher. Always confirm pricing directly with the property.

Can I book directly through RaceTrackStays?

No reservation is taken on this site. Each property carries a control that opens a booking service with your dates already filled in, and, where we hold it, a link to the property's own website so you can book direct. Some listings also carry an email address or phone number.

Race Weekends

How do race weekend alerts work?

Sign up for our alerts on any track or race weekend page, and we'll email you when accommodations become available or when we publish new guides for upcoming events at that circuit. It's the easiest way to plan ahead for popular race weekends.

How far in advance should I book for a race weekend?

As early as you can for the big ones — Formula 1 Grands Prix, Monaco, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We do not track nightly rates or availability, so we will not quote you a number of months; check the properties themselves, and book while the choice is still yours.

Are race weekend dates accurate?

Every date on this site comes from the organiser's own published calendar, and where a date could not be found on one it is left blank rather than guessed. Dates still change — calendar revisions, weather, sanctioning disputes — so verify with the official series website before you book anything you cannot refund.
