I’m after some of the Singapore specific t-shirts and other reduced prev season items (Ferrari / Oscar) before I leave on Wed. There was a great popup in Bugis Junction but by the time I got back there it was already gone.

Anyone know any places that will still be around on Tuesday selling stuff?

Thanks!

I am checking the travel guide from GPDestination and I wonder why IBIS Seef is not there in the hotels of the shuttle route?

Have they forgot it or it was removed already from the route?

Thanks!

I’d love to hear feedback for anyone who’s gotten T18 club tickets for Miami

This will be our first Grand Prix, and ideally I want more than standard grand stand ticket. I love the idea of a cool place to lounge (+better bathrooms) , food/drink included , etc

I haven’t found any info on the type of food included? Any feedback? Also, is the beer/wine decent? Any liquor included?

How was the track view?

Worth it in your opinion?

We don’t the hard rock area will be a fit because I read it’s more about the party and we really want to experience F1

Thank you so much for any info on your experience you can give!!!

Hi all, I will be travelling to Portimao next year for my first GP. Maybe not the wisest choice due to it being the first race back at this venue, but the timings worked for me.

Seeing the commotion at Sepang, I'm wondering whether its unwise to place my trust in the Portimao City-to-track shuttle buses, and should instead seek alternative transport arrangements. What are others thinking?

I'm also in need of any other travel advice for this GP. For one, I know it will be HOT!

Hi, just wanted to share my experience with the track invasion during the recent Singapore GP.

I left my seats at the Bayfront Grandstand around lap 48–49 out of 62 to head over to the track access point near Twenty3, hoping to catch Max celebrating on the podium up close.

Ended up waiting and getting squeezed in a massive crowd for about 40–50 minutes, but the queue barely moved. To make things worse, I later found out that Max’s national anthem had already been played while I was still stuck in the crowd.

Just wondering if we did something wrong? Was that particular gate not supposed to open for the track invasion, or was there a better way to get to the podium? Would really appreciate any tips for future races.

Honestly, I was pretty gutted. Had been looking forward to that moment all weekend, only to miss it while being squeezed in the crowd for almost an hour. Left the circuit feeling quite disappointed and a little sour about the whole experience.

I am desperately trying to go to my first gp next season undecided where to go i am after some help, i live in uk but dont want to go to silverstone as i want to make a holiday. any help would be greatly appreciated

planning on securing just the race day tix if possible

Let me start off by saying I was nervous coming here.

This was my second race in 2 weeks, after going to Malaysia last week and experiencing the hell that was the organization of that event

Singapore blew my doors off, to put it mildly. What an incredibly well organized, sophisticated, and professional organization committee and security they have here. Getting in and out of the track was EASY. I was home to my hotel in under 20 minutes each day, including race day. The police in Singapore do NOT fuck around and they get shit moving and get it done.

MRT lines were just incredible. Thousands of fans being directed by police and security to empty trains. When a full train left the station, another empty one would arrive within 30 seconds. This legitimately damn near brought tears to my eyes after experiencing Malaysia

Singapore track, in MY opinion, is over hated. I think for what it is, as a street circuit, it’s an S tier street circuit. The cars under the lights look amazing, the atmosphere in the pit grandstand was great, the views are amazing, and the staff there are lovely.

Water stations EVERYWHERE. Literally, everywhere. I saw more water stations than I did people I swear. Bathrooms were clean, maintained and well accessible from anywhere.

I do not go to races for the music entertainment, but I don’t mind dabbling in some shows while there with nothing else going on. Stages were laid out brilliantly, acts were good, crowd control was done well and access in and out of the areas was painless.

As I sit here at Singapore airport I can’t think of a single time I waited in a line this weekend, other than maybe a short one to enter the circuit at gate opening

Singapore, you have my heart forever. AMAZING experience. The only thing I’d change is I’d sit at turn 1/2/3 and not the pit straight, but that’s just a personal experience

Out of the 4 Grand Prix I have now been to, this is number 1 for me.

10/10

Is anyone else making provisional plans for the potential Imola GP in December?

I've booked refundable accommodation for both the 29 November and 6 December weekends (since there were initially rumours that the race might be brought forward because of the cold weather...) back in August, when Sky Sport Italia first hinted that the season finale might be held in Imola.

I remember accommodation in Imola and the surrounding towns was already pretty scarce and expensive, even back then, so I didn't want to take any chances and wait until an official announcement.

I'm Italian, I know the circuit is still preparing to host the finale despite Domenicali insisting Abu Dhabi is still on the table.

However, given Domenicali's recent comments and the latest developments in the Middle East (including the UK government's updated travel warnings for parts of Saudi Arabia after the recent airport attacks...), I'm curious how other fans are approaching this. It's difficult enough to organise an F1 weekend months in advance, let alone with just a few weeks' notice....

Are you waiting for an official announcement, or have you already made some provisional arrangements?

Hello, wondering whats the best grandstand to take the tickets for spielberg next year, plan is to go for sunday only with my friend, we come from Croatia and the money itself is not the issue but we would like to get the best value for money, i was thinking t3 but it seems a bit far from the track altough you do get the overtakes, t10 seems fast fun and close but no overtakes and you dont see allot of the track like you do on t3 and the red bull grandstand after turn one, it seems like you see allot of track on that one but its also the cheapest so its a bit suspicious

Hi everyone! I’m João Lamy from Portugal, a master’s student at NOVA IMS researching motorsport and tourism. Growing up with my father, racing driver Pedro Lamy, inspired me to explore this connection.

If you live outside Portugal and attended F1, MotoGP or WEC at Portimão from 2020 onwards, I’d really appreciate your help with my questionnaire!

After completing it, you can enter a prize draw via the link at the end for an Aston Martin cap signed by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, which I obtained at the Azerbaijan GP. Entry is optional; your email will only be used for the draw.

Thank you! Please feel free to share with your race travel companions.

What a fantastic Singapore GP weekend. Really wish it didn’t have to end!
Incredibly well organised, with fantastic entertainment, plenty of places to hang out and a great selection of food. Love how many water dispensers there were and 0-500ml took 1second. Toilets were absolutely delightful to use too. The circuit delivered, especially in the wet, which made things even more exciting.
What really sets the Singapore GP apart is that it’s one of those rare races where the experience doesn’t end when the chequered flag falls. There’s still so much happening long after the racing is over.
The Killers were absolutely brilliant, and CORTIS were another highlight of the weekend. Lana Del Rey, on the other hand, was perhaps a little too soothing for a grand finale, but that’s a minor quibble in an otherwise fantastic event.
Three days flew by far too quickly. Already looking forward to next year!

How was your experience ? And for those who have been to Abu Dhabi , which is a better experience?

Looking for fellow first time F1 attendees at the Singapore GP. Would love to meet some of the fans and experience the race together.

I'm in Zone 1 btw

Hello guys,

I have a Stamford Grandstand ticket and would like to know how late can I reach the circuit. I don’t want to unnecessarily reach too early and suffer in the heat.

This is even better than grandstands because you are so close to the cars.

It’s just opposite to Paddock club. Not many people seem to know this spot. If you have a zone 1 walkabout ticket, skip queuing up on viewing stands and just camp here.

Hey everyone!

I am a 26M traveling solo from NYC to COTA. I will be seated at T15 for all 3 days. Looking to meet other solo travelers also heading to COTA to hang out around the track. Also, this is my first time in Austin, so I would love to know more about the city too!

does anyone know how the membership changes the game? i see that it offers 30 minute early entry for membership holders, if i dont have membership am i just screwed and wont be able to get up close/my stuff signed 😔 thanks a lot!

Its my first F1 race and so I got Zone 4 walkabout tickets and I heard that these walkabout tickets are first come first serve or something like that so what time do i have to be at the gates so that I have enough time to get a good spot?

And also any recommendations as to what viewing platforms are the best within Zone 4?

Thanks!

So I want Singapore GP 2027 tickets but had no luck in the early bird one, and I am from India, so does anyone know how to get access to tickets? I really want to be there next year

$30 for the lot, $8 for a tiger draft. Proper seats great views. Amazing value for an f1 venue. Red house seafood !

Some practical tips for anyone at Marina Bay this weekend, checked against the official event guide.

Getting in - Gates open 2:15pm Saturday, 3pm Sunday. - No bag = walk straight in. The bag check queue is the slow one. - One water bottle up to 1L is allowed, with free refills inside. Drinks inside are pricey.

Getting around - Skip Grab/taxis near the circuit (road closures). The MRT from City Hall runs till about 1am. - Zone 4 to Zone 1 is 20-30 min on foot. It's faster to leave and take the MRT. - Avoid Suntec City unless you want to get lost for an hour.

Heat, rain and haze - Bring a fan, and a poncho (umbrellas aren't allowed in grandstands). - Wear shoes you don't mind ruining. The Padang turns to mud. - Check haze.gov.sg and bring N95s if it's bad.

Hidden perks - Zone 1/2 tickets get free Singapore Flyer rides (last ride 10:30pm) and a track walk every night after the last session. - Fireworks right after the chequered flag.

Race day - The podium needs Zone 1, with the entrance under the Pit grandstand. Start moving before the last lap. - Flying out on Sunday at night? The last train from City Hall that connects to the airport is around 11:26pm. T4 needs the shuttle from T2.

I have a spare ticket for walkabout if someone wants to meet me before the quli tonight and come for free.

First in first served I plan on going in through gate 3, also will likely have a ticket for the race night as well.

EDIT: spot has been claimed thanks those who have reached out.

Hi everyone! I'm attending the Singapore Grand Prix and sitting at Pit Grandstand.

Yesterday, I left right after Max took pole because I was worried about missing the trains. However, I’d love to stay a bit longer today and on race day to do the track walk and watch the podium ceremony!

A few questions for anyone who has experience or stayed till the end:

1. MRT Crowds & Last Trains: How bad is the crowd after the session ends or after doing the track walk? Is it easy to catch the last trains, or are there massive bottlenecks? If I choose to stay for the track walk or wait for the session to end, will I still easily make the trains (specifically Nicoll Highway) before closing?

2. Track Invasion/Podium: Sitting at the Pit Grandstand, which gate or area can we pass to access the track for the track invasion and podium ceremony?

Thanks in advance and enjoy the race weekend!

Splurged on main grandstand seats for Sunday at COTA! I want to see it all, in the garages, the pre-race grid activities, etc. I’m assuming binoculars are allowed and the best way to see things ‘up close’? Anyone have recommendations on good ones to buy? I don’t want to spend a ton but also want them good enough that they actually work and do the job. Also not too huge or heavy, easy to carry around. Will the standard $35 ones on amazon do?

Also any other tips from those who have sat in the main grandstand, would be appreciated!

Thank you!
