The 2024 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix will take place from the 20th until the 22nd of September.
Here are some useful tips to make sure you get the most out of the Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay Street Circuit:
- The first piece of advice is clear: get there early. This is especially true on Sunday during race day. It is better to enjoy the atmosphere of the race on the circuit than wait in the queue. The ideal time to arrive at the circuit is around 4 pm on the race day.
- Keep in mind that the weather in Singapore can be unpredictable. Be prepared for warm weather but also the possibility of rain. Adjust your clothing accordingly. In addition to sunglasses and a hat, we recommend you bring a raincoat. Be aware that umbrellas are not allowed to be used except in the case of heavy downpours.
- The Marina Bay Street Circuit is divided into four zones. When choosing your tickets, please note that only some tickets allow access to all four zones.
- Plan what you will do and where you want to go. If you're going with friends, bear in mind that, especially on Sundays, the mobile phone network on the circuit is overloaded and phone and data services may not work. Always arrange a rendezvous point where you can meet up if you get lost.

F1 extends Singapore GP until 2028
Race has been on the series' calendar since 2008 & absent from 2020 and 2021 calendars due to pandemic
Formula One has announced a contract extension with the Singapore Grand Prix for seven years. The new agreement will run from 2022 until 2028.
The Singapore Grand Prix first joined the Formula One calendar in 2008, however it was absent from the schedule in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to RacingNews365, the previous contract saw the series receive US$35 million per Grand Prix from the host organisers, Singapore GP Pte Ltd (SGP) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). Channel News Asia pegged the overall cost of Singapore hosting its Formula One race at US$100 million a year.
The latest hosting contract has seen the organisers commit to improving the sustainability of the event. This includes switching to renewable energy sources, using recyclable materials and increasing recycling efforts. In addition, a sustainable audit will be conducted, ensuring that the Singapore Grand Prix is fully in line with Formula One’s own sustainability goals. SGP and STB have also pledged to connect with the local community, seek to promote diversity amongst event volunteers, as well as place greater emphasis on the health and safety of all attendees.
Marina Bay Circuit in profile
Singapore created F1 history when it joined the calendar in 2008 by running a grand prix at night and, a decade on, it remains the sport's premier floodlit event.
Once hailed as "the jewel in F1's crown which keeps getting polished" by Bernie Ecclestone, Singapore swiftly established itself as a favourite among the paddock and F1's corporate sponsors. Cast against the backdrop of the city's skyscrapers, the sport has arguably never looked better. The numbers behind the floodlit race underline just how complex an event it is to put on.
108,423 metres of power cables, 240 steel pylons and around 1,600 light projectors with a total power requirement of 3,180,000 watts are used to light the track for the drivers. The effect is that the track is lighter than at midday on a sunny day and four times brighter than a football stadium. The lights are designed to reduce glare - even if it is raining - while the clear visors used by the drivers for the race provide an opportunity to see their eyes as they tackle Marina Bay's streets from the onboard cameras, giving a unique glimpse of the concentration required to dart between the Armco at 200mph.
Singapore Grand Prix
The Singapore Grand Prix is a motor racing event which forms part of the Formula One World Championship. The event takes place on the Marina Bay Street Circuit and was the inaugural night race and first street circuit in Asia designed for Formula One races.
The original Singapore Grand Prix was held at Thomson Road from 1966 to 1973, before returning to the calendar in 2008 at Marina Bay. Fernando Alonso won the inaugural Formula One edition of the renewed Grand Prix, driving for the Renault team amid controversial circumstances, when it emerged a year later that his teammate Nelson Piquet Jr. had been ordered to crash on purpose by senior team management to bring out the safety car at a time chosen to benefit Alonso. The race itself was also notable for being the 800th Formula One World Championship race since its inception in 1950, and the first ever Formula One race held at night.
Since its inception, Marina Bay has been known for featuring at least one safety car in every race edition, with a total of 24 safety car deployments as of 2023. The Singapore Grand Prix has been considered to be one of the most challenging and unique tracks on the Formula One calendar. Sebastian Vettel has the most wins on the track, with five Singapore Grand Prix victories. In 2022, a contract extension was announced which will put the race on the Formula One calendar until at least 2028.
