Singapore

Singapore is situated at the end of the Malaysian peninsula and is a tropical paradise often referred to as the "Island with a thousand shopping malls". This tiny island nation packs in more malls per square mile than any other country in the world. Visit the 2.2km stretch of Orchard Road - the Oxford Street of Singapore, Chinatown, Little India and the vast Bugis Street Market. Enjoy a tour of Chinatown, have afternoon tea in the famous Raffles Hotel or take a cable car ride to Sentosa Island for some panoramic views. Gardens by the Bay is a nature park with futuristic looking tree sculptures covering 101 hectares of land, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. You will find two waterfront conservatories: the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest; and the Supertree Grove with 18 manmade trees which reach heights of up to 16 storeys. The Supertrees can be found all around the Gardens by the Bay - twelve are at the Supertree Grove, while the remaining six are placed in clusters of threes at the Golden and Silver Gardens. The best time to visit Gardens by the Bay is in the late afternoon, around 4-5pm. Start with the cooled conservatories, and then go up to the OCBC Skyway in the evening when the weather is cooler. At the Supertree Grove, there is a nightly show (free admission), that showcases the magical lights of the super trees to music. You can also visit the Sky Park observation deck 57 floors on top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel. This striking hotel has an infinity pool and gardens which spans the roof over the three towers of the hotel.

Singapore Grand Prix 2026

The Singapore Grand Prix takes place on the iconic Marina Bay Street Circuit, a true jewel of the racing calendar. First held in 2008, it was the sport’s inaugural night race, instantly becoming famous for its dramatic city setting and unique challenges. The circuit winds through Singapore’s Downtown Core and Kallang districts, skirting the waterfront and passing many of the city’s most famous landmarks.

Its 5.063 km layout is a technical test for drivers, featuring tight corners, bumpy street surfaces, and punishingly humid conditions. While minor adjustments have been made over the years, the core challenges, precision driving, strategic tire management, and intense concentration, remain unchanged. Beyond the racing, the streets, skyscrapers, and illuminated harbor views make the Singapore GP feel as much like a city festival as a motorsport event.

Location & Access

The circuit is situated in central Singapore, around the Marina Bay area, and the 2026 event is scheduled for October 9–11. Traffic disruptions are inevitable due to the street-based layout, so public transport is strongly recommended. Singapore’s MRT system serves multiple nearby stations, including Nicoll Highway, City Hall, Raffles Place, and Promenade, with convenient contactless payment options. Fans should check their tickets for the recommended entry gate and plan to arrive early, as moving through the circuit area can take time. Many centrally located hotels provide easy access to both MRT stations and circuit gates, making city accommodation the most convenient choice for race weekend.

What to Expect During the Weekend

The Singapore GP is famous for its night-race spectacle, combining high-speed straights with technical corners and the city’s glowing skyline. Fans can explore multiple fan zones, food stalls, and entertainment stages spread across the circuit, while also taking in long walking routes between grandstands and activity areas. The tropical climate means heat and humidity are constant factors, with sudden rain showers possible, so spectators should prepare accordingly. Beyond the track, Singapore offers world-class experiences: Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and an incredible culinary scene make this race weekend a perfect mix of sport and city life.

Practical Tips for Fans

Comfortable shoes and light, breathable clothing are essential, along with sunscreen, hats, and refillable water bottles. A compact raincoat or poncho is recommended in case of sudden showers. Arriving early allows time to explore the circuit and fan zones before sessions, while using public transport (MRT or shuttles) is far easier than attempting to drive. Night race timings mean the event can run late, so plan your accommodation and return routes in advance. Food and drink options are abundant both inside and outside the circuit, with Singapore’s world-renowned restaurants providing excellent post-race dining opportunities.

Why the Singapore GP Stands Out

The Singapore Grand Prix is more than just a race, it’s a spectacular urban event. Its combination of night racing, tropical weather, city skyscrapers, and challenging street circuits creates an unforgettable experience. Fans not only witness thrilling on-track action but also enjoy the energy, culture, and vibrancy of one of Asia’s most dynamic cities. For many, attending Singapore is as much about the city spectacle as it is about the sport, making it a must-see event on the racing calendar.
