Singapore Grand Prix 2024: What's the hype?
The Night Race
The Singapore Grand Prix stands out as one of the few night races in F1, alongside Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Las Vegas, and Abu Dhabi. With over 200,000 fans attending last year, the event was marked by Carlos Sainz's win, making him the first non-Red Bull victor of 2023. Racing at night helps reduce temperatures, creating better conditions for both drivers and cars. The stunning lights of Marina Bay Street Circuit provide a glamorous backdrop that transforms the race into an electric spectacle. The entire city pulses with F1 excitement, making you feel the thrill right on the streets.
The Performances
The Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix also features a world-class music festival, with some of the biggest names in music performing. In 2024, the lineup includes OneRepublic, Kylie Minogue, Lenny Kravitz, The Corrs and five other acts. This is a great opportunity to see some of your favorite artists perform live, and it's a great way to add to the excitement of the race weekend. Make sure to get to the various stages on time to watch the performances. In true Singapore style, the events begin and start like clockwork.
The Food
Singapore is a foodie's paradise, and there's no better place to sample the city's culinary delights than at the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix. There are food stalls and restaurants all over the circuit, serving up everything from traditional Singaporean dishes to international cuisine. You can find everything from hawker food to Michelin-starred restaurants, so you're sure to find something to your taste. China Town, Little India, Arab Town are localities dominated by the eponymous ethnicities while Telok Ayer Street is a great place to try Peranakan food - a mix of Chinese and Malay. Head to Dempsey Hill and Ann Siang Hill, two adjacent neighborhoods in the heart of Singapore, for their trendy restaurants and bars.
The Atmosphere
The Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix is an incredibly exciting and vibrant event, and the atmosphere is electric. The fans are passionate and knowledgeable, and a melting pot of cultures. The stands are packed with fans, and the noise level is deafening. Almost more than the race cars! With food stalls, beer gardens and open air performances happening during the race too, it’s a carnival all weekend. If you don’t mind skipping the grandstands and walk-abouts for a practice session or the qualifiers, we highly recommend waiting in line, strategically, at the Singapore Flyer (Asia's largest giant Ferris wheel), to get a bird’s eye view of the part of the session. It is phenomenal. Not the race though, that is best from trackside!
The Location
Singapore is a beautiful city with a lot to offer visitors. There are plenty of things to see and do outside of the race, from exploring the city's many historical landmarks to relaxing on one of its many beaches. If you're looking for a city break with a difference, then Singapore is the perfect place for you. From Sentosa and Merlion to the aquarium and zoo, there’s lots for the whole family!

Located in the heart of Singapore's downtown, the Marina Bay Street Circuit is renowned for its challenging and thrilling layout. It combines high-speed straights and tight corners, all in the backdrop of the city’s remarkable skyline. In 2023, the circuit underwent a revamp, reducing its corners from 23 to 19 to elevate the racing experience while keeping the drivers on their toes. This track demands precision and skill, making it a true test of any driver’s prowess.
How do I select the right seats?
The Marina Bay Street Circuit is divided into 4 zones; which essentially control your entry and movement around the track. The more expensive grandstand/premier walkabout tickets, offer access to all 4 zones; while the others limit your access to one/two zones only. Hence, picking the right zone is important!
If you want to save up on money, all the grandstands in Zone 4 are relatively cheaper, and won't leave you as broke 😛
The only permanent grandstand at the circuit, the Bay Grandstand is both: the biggest and the cheapest. This grandstand is colour-coded, and defies the general rule of; sit higher for a better view. Here, do not sit higher than row 30, that's the only rule.
If you sit in the Dark Blue Zone, you can see Turns 16-17 clearly, and if you sit in the Light/Dark Green Zone, you can see Turns 18-19 well. Pick your view.
This Grandstand has 7 sections, A1-A7, located between Turns 7 and 8. Turn 7 is one which provides a ton of overtaking opportunities, so a seat in the lower-numbered sections is guarenteed to get you a view of this. Sitting on the other end, and high up in the rows, will give you access to Turns 8 and 14 - even though just slightly. Choose your seats!
Located on the inside of the circuit between Turns 9 and 10, the best sections here are the ones closest to the corners. Which ones are these? Low-numbered A sections for Turn 9, and high-numbered sections for Turn 10. If you want watch hard-core racing, we wouldn't recommend this stand. Although, if you're here for the post-race concert, these are the best seats to be in!
