Some of the best F1 fun in Austin this week is free and right downtown. The Atlassian Williams F1 Team Fan Zone is back at 800 Congress Ave. for a fifth straight year, according to the team. It is open daily through Saturday, Oct. 24: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Wednesday, then 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Entry is free, but you need to register for a free Williams ID in the team's app before you arrive. Over on the east side, Red Bull Austin Race Nights runs Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 22-25, from 4 to 10 p.m. at 1501 E. 7th St., according to Red Bull. Expect driver appearances, a pit stop challenge, racing simulators and a replica F1 garage. All ages are welcome until 8 p.m., when it goes 18+. Planning a full week of it? Make a night of it on Congress, then head east for Race Nights. **Source:** Atlassian Williams F1 Team.
