Marina Bay Circuit

Singapore F1 Track Guide

Singapore Circuit Map & Guide

Sitting on the Marina Bay of Singapore, the Singapore Grand Prix has been a mainstay of the F1 calendar since its inception in 2008. The Singapore Grand Prix has become an instant icon, making many headlines in its 13-race history – none less than being the inaugural Formula One race at night. Due to the climate, this track is a true test of a driver’s skill and concentration, with cockpit temperatures climbing to as high as 60ºC – despite the race being at night. The track itself is set for some changes for the 2023 race which will reduce the overall lap time by around 20 seconds. This also means that there will be one fewer grandstand available in 2023, with the Bay Grandstand unavailable for use. No grandstands at the Marina Bay circuit are covered, so bring a poncho – but you will have giant screens viewable from every seated position on the track.

While each of our Singapore Grand Prix Packages comes with a pre-defined grandstand ticket, we’ve created this Singapore F1 Track guide to help you choose an alternative.

Grandstand: PIT

The Pit Grandstand at Singapore is one of the longer and more extravagant grandstands on the F1 calendar. Being a long grandstand, the pit grandstand has a full view of the start/finish straight. Encapsulating a DRS zone, you are guaranteed to see action, and with the short run to turn 1 there is always the chance of a start line incident such as Raikkonen, Vettel and Verstappen’s in 2018. You will be able to soak in the atmosphere building up pre-race, as well as the podium celebrations.

Grandstand: SUPER PIT

Sitting just above the pit grandstand is the luxurious Super Pit Grandstand. Here you will enjoy all the fantastic views that the pit grandstand with the benefits of sitting in a higher position. The Super Pit Grandstand also provides you with priority access, and a more comfortable padded seat.

Grandstand: TURN 2

Semi-attached to the Turn 1 Grandstand is the Turn 2 Grandstand, here you will have a front-on view of the main straight and first three corners. While Turn 2 Grandstand feels slightly more set back from the track than its sister grandstand, the views provided well and truly make up for it. Turn 2 Grandstand provides unrivalled views of the race start, as you watch all 20 cars shoot off the line looking to gain positions into the first three corners.

Grandstand: STAMFORD

At the end of the longest straight on the track is the Stamford Grandstand. Here you will have a high chance of seeing plenty of overtakes throughout the race – not only is the Turn 7 section of the track at the end of a long DRS zone, but there is also a large run off at the 90-degree corner which allows the drivers more options to try an overtake. You will have plenty of photo and video opportunities in the Stamford Grandstand.

Grandstand: PADANG A & B

On the short straight between turns 9 and 10 are the Padang A & B grandstands. Here you will see cars accelerating through this section in order to get the best entry into the Turn 10 chicane. The Padang Grandstands are a unique section of the circuit, sat between the main concert stage means the atmosphere is electric all weekend long. You will find many food and drink options conveniently located around the Padang Grandstands.

Grandstand: CONNAUGHT

The final grandstand before the main straight – the Connaught Grandstand – is another option to see wheel-to-wheel action and incidents. You will be sitting on the inside of Turn 14 which is a tight right-hander at the end of another DRS Zone. There has been plenty of action at this section of track over the years. Photo opportunities abound, here you will have a great chance to see the iconic sparks of an F1 car under the lights as they fly down the back straight. Food, drinks, amenities and souvenirs sit right behind the Connaught Grandstand for your convenience.

Grandstand: EMPRESS

While the Empress (or Orange @ Empress) Grandstand is the smallest one in Singapore, it well and truly makes up for it with how close to the track you will feel. The Empress Grandstand is sat between the Turn 11 and 12 section and is located right in front of the picturesque Victoria Theatre. Here you will see F1 cars at the peak of their braking ability, as they cross the iconic Anderson Bridge.

Grandstand: BAY

A sight to behold, the Bay Grandstand is one of the largest grandstands on the entire Formula One calendar with 27,000 seats. The Bay Grandstand has a fantastic view of Marina Bay and is hugely popular with spectators. Located just before the final set of corners of the lap, here you will see the cars shoot down a short straight and drive directly under the grandstand. The corner itself under the grandstand is a tight left hander with walls on either side, always a tricky proposition for the drivers to navigate.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Grand Prix Tours. The accommodation was amazing, communication with this company was brilliant when I had a few questions and the seating for the actual Grand Prix qualifying and race day was perfect, as we got to see all the overtaking on the corner. I would highly recommend this company and look forward to using them again in the future!!

Myself and my son became Grand Prix Grand Tourists for the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa…. GPGT took care of everything, flight were perfect, airport transfers ran smoothly, hotel in Brussels was stunning and comfortable, seats in the gold 4 grandstand were beyond anything we could have expected,transfers from hotel to race were good fun and interesting especially trying to exit the carpark at the end of both days!! But hey, it was expected…Stefan our guide and the drivers were really friendly and looked after us well.Please thank Jamie at your office, he was brilliant, kept us informed on every item….I would recommend you guys 100% to anyone thinking of using your services

Just got back from the Hungarian Grand Prix. I booked this as a surprise for my partner’s birthday and GPGT were great from the start. I wouldn’t have known where to start arranging this myself but everything was organised, communication great and everything happened exactly as they said it would! hotel was nice, all transfer pick ups were on time and seats at the Grand Prix were great! I booked the flights separately myself but was really pleased when GPGT still sorted airport transfers for us. They made it a simple, stress free and very enjoyable weekend!

Freshly back from a superb trip to the Spanish Grand Prix - what a weekend and experience! All arrangements from point of booking, pre-travel, and the weekend itself, were seamless and very well coordinated.Our grand stand seats were spectacular, in front of the starting grid and pits, with brilliant views of all the action.We’re already planning which race to book for next year. Thanks to everyone on the GPGT team for making it a very easy and unforgettable experience 🙂

So pleased to have chosen GPT for F1 Monaco - they were really responsive to all emails and phone calls. The advice for hotel in Nice walking distance to the rail station was really perfect (23 minutes to central Monaco). Hotel was great choice for this weekend as we were only there to sleep and it was comfortable clean with helpful staff. Transfers from airport to hotel and return were very efficient and professional - they anticipated late arrival and departure so were ready and waiting to take us both ways in high quality vehicles. Our seats were in one of the main grandstands (K 4) with great views of the track and harbour with a huge screen opposite to see all the action around the track. It was a big decision choosing the company to supply the Grand Prix experience, I read many reviews and GPT stood out, very happy to have chosen them.

We chose GPGT for our 1st F1 experience and we were not disappointed. Bahrain was an incredible experience everything went like clockwork. Well done to the team at GPGT’s we are very much looking forward to our next event.

Having never done a package for a GP I wasn’t sure what to expect. I need not have worried. From the start the communication was excellent with clear instructions regarding flights, transfers and hotel.The airport transfers were easy and the driver was professional and attentive and the hotel was out of this world. The circuit transfers were easy and informative with a local guide who gave us information on local areas of historic importance and local facts and recommendations for nice places to eat.I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to attend a GP abroad. You won’t be disappointed.

From the moment we booked our Monaco GP tour until the end of the trip, we had nothing but a brilliant experience with this company. Our initial trip was postponed due to Covid and Simon and Jay were always at the end of the phone to answer any questions and reassure us. As for the trip itself, everything was well thought out - from the flight and transfers to the hotel in Nice (clean, comfortable and an easy walk to the train station so we could easily get to Monaco and back). We upgraded our tickets for the Grand Prix after chatting to Simon about the kind of view we wanted and they were superb - right in the middle of the action. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that we will never forget and we can’t wait to book our next F1 tour with the company . Thanks all

Like to say a massive thanks to John and the team for a totally hassle free Monaco F1 weekend.Start to finish they are totally professional, quick to respond to emails, and providing all the relevant information required before flying out!The trip itself went without any issues, accommodation chosen in Nice, with its roof top bar, was a perfect way to relax after full day trying to pack everything in, and only a 10-15 minutes walk to/from the station.Our chosen seats which gave access to the mooring pontoons of the big super Yacht’s, with live music that filled the gaps between races. We also got to see plenty of action, (Ricardo’s & Schumacher’s crashes, plus others over the weekend), you could also at a distance see some of the pit activity and even the podium presentations, (depending on the seats we had each day). It had the big screen central to our stand (P), so you didn’t miss any action.Thanks again for a totally awesome F1 experience.Regards Dave

Delighted with the whole experience. The hotel was superb in every way, the seats at the Barcelona Grand Prix were exceptional. Will definitely book with you again and recommend friends to do the same.We were kept informed through the weekend with various tel numbers should we run into difficulties during our stay which we didn’t.Anyone can book with you very confidently!
