Ticket choice

Our included ticket - Bay Grandstand

Hear the roar beneath your feet as the cars race past this picturesque waterfront stretch and drive underneath the Bay Grandstand, a signature feature of the Singapore circuit. This section of track has proven to be an Achilles' heel for many of the drivers as it requires them to negotiate four angled turns (16 to 19) in quick succession.

In 2010, Bruno Senna's HRT rammed into Kamui Kobayashi's stationary BMW Sauber that had hit the barriers at Turn 18, triggering the safety car in lap 32. The notorious 2008 Nelson Piquet Junior incident also took place here, in addition to bungled moves in the past by Romain Grosjean, Kimi Raikkonen, Kazuki Nakajima and Nico Rosberg.

Bay Grandstand ticketholders are spoilt for choice when it comes to food and beverage outlets on top and underneath the grandstand as well as performances exclusive to Zone 3 patrons. Spectators can also enjoy access to the Padang main stage. The complete entertainment programme will be released in the coming months. What's more, spectators have the added flexibility to indulge in a multitude roving of entertainment, merchandise, food and beverage offerings available in Zone 4's F1 Village and Hawker Village.

Unique Night Race

The Singapore Grand Prix is Formula One's only night race, staged on an exciting 5.073-kilometre (3.152-mile) street track in the heart of this colourful and cosmopolitan city.
The unique race is entirely floodlit, complemented by a backdrop of bright lights from the city’s financial centre.
“It’s a very physical circuit - more than I expected, actually,' says 2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton. 'You need to put a lot of work into the car to get a good lap - I’d say it requires double the energy of Monaco over a single lap. One lap around here is like two laps of Monaco!'

For each evening of the Grand Prix we have arranged private transfers from our hotel to the circuit.

Entertainment

Only ticketholders will be able to access the entertainment zones  and enjoy the numerous food and beverage outlets, merchandise booths as well as a wide variety of live staged and roving entertainment that can be found throughout this area.

Three of the '80s most celebrated artistes will join Katy Perry, Maroon 5 and Jay Chou in the list of performers lined up for the Singapore Formula One (F1) weekend.

Race organisers confirmed acts Bananarama, Pretenders and The Proclaimers, who will each perform at least two gigs during the F1 event from Sept 21 to 23.

Welcome Reception Party

The Welcome Reception has become an essential part of MotoExpress race weekend. An opportunity to meet your fellow guests. Talk about the exciting weekend ahead whilst enjoying complementary drinks and fabulous buffet; and I promise to keep my welcome talk to an absolute minimum!!!

Spectacular Singapore

It was Sir Stamford Raffles' dream to transform this swamp-covered, pirate infested island into a 'new Alexandria of the Far East'. His hopes were not misplaced: Singapore has since grown into an internationally important centre for trade, communications and tourism. It bears all the hallmarks of great holiday destination: matchless tourist facilities and an enthralling mêlée of cultures. Today Singapore is as important to Formula 1 as is Monaco. It's time you came to this fabulous city to witness and be part off the most exciting show on earth!

For this event you should book flights to Singapore Changi international airport.  The cost of the flights and airport transfers are not included in the event price.

Changi Airport is one of best organised airports in the world. There is no need to pre book taxis. In fact using the airport taxi system will be simpler and faster than private hire taxis.
Taxis are available at the taxi stands at the Arrival levels of each Terminal. The journey to the hotel is estimated to cost between $18.00 and $38.00 and takes approximately 30 minutes.

Most foreigners coming into Singapore do not require visas for entry and may be given social visit passes for up to 30 days upon their arrival in Singapore. However, it is best to consult your local consular office for the latest information with regards to coming into Singapore.
