Singapore Grand Prix | Marina Bay Street Circuit Tips & Information

A street track under lights with the city's famous skyline as its spectacular backdrop, prepare for your exciting trip to the Singapore Grand Prix with this helpful circuit information.

What makes the Marina Bay Street Circuit so special?

The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a temporary race track that makes use of public roads. Prior to the race weekend, these streets are completely transformed, changing a busy urban setting into a high-speed racing circuit.

Heralded by many as perhaps the most physically demanding race on the F1 calendar, the street surface of the 4.94km circuit and area's humid conditions give the drivers plenty to think about.

These sites are all fantastic places to explore while you're in Singapore to watch the Grand Prix!

Of course, there's plenty of fun to be had inside the circuit itself. Keep reading for some useful information and friendly advice to help you make the most of your visit.

Helpful tips and advice

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes

The event grounds span an area roughly equivalent to 80 football pitches! You’ll likely be walking a lot around the circuit to reach the grandstands, food stalls, and the many exciting off-track entertainment options, so wearing comfortable shoes is essential.

Prepare for the heat

Even though this is a night race, the gates to the Marina Bay Street Circuit open in the middle of the day, so you'll need to be prepared for the heat. Make sure to bring:

A reusable water bottle to refill at the numerous water stations.
Sunscreen to protect your skin.
A cap or hat for shade.

But... prepare for some rain (just in case!)

It has rained during past Singapore Grand Prix weekends, so bringing a raincoat is a good idea. If you get caught in a downpour, ponchos and earplugs are available for purchase at official merchandise booths within the circuit.

Keep your mobile phone charged

Whether it's for capturing photos, staying connected, or in case of emergencies, take advantage of the circuit's power bank rental services and ensure your mobile phone stays charged. Rental stations are conveniently located near select information booths, so you can stay powered up while enjoying the event.

Bin your rubbish

You'll find plenty of clearly marked bins for separating general waste from recyclables, so you don't have to carry your trash around all day!
