Everything You Need To Know About The 2022 Singapore Grand Prix

The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the best street circuits to drive. It’s one of the most extensive events on the F1 calendar and one that has a special place in the hearts of Singaporeans. After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, it’s returning with its much-anticipated night race to be held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Discover the country in a new way and partake in the days and nights leading up to the main event. From Singapore Grand Prix ticket prices to the star-studded concert performances, here’s everything you need to know about the Singapore Grand Prix 2022. 

The Singapore Grand Prix will take place from September 30 to October 2 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit as a night race. Although the main event isn’t until Sunday, the practice and qualifying rounds have got everyone equally pumped up. Here is the schedule as follows:

September 30, Friday: Free Practice 1 (6-7 PM), Free Practice 2 (9-10 PM)

October 1, Saturday: Free Practice 3 (6-7 PM), Qualifying (9-10 PM)

October 2, Sunday: Main Event (8-10 PM)

The Marina Bay Street Circuit for the Singapore Grand Prix made its debut in 2008 and has since become an iconic F1 course. It’s one of the most challenging, with 23 corners and four different types of surface materials – granite, concrete, asphalt, and tarmac.

Part of its allure is that it’s the only F1 race held at night. Professional drivers endure over 61 laps of the 5.063km circuit, starting close to the Singapore Flyer, then racing toward Padang, past the Esplanade, and by the waters of Marina Bay. 

Your best bet for getting to and from the Marina Bay Street Circuit is to take public transportation. Fortunately, the city’s MRT is efficient and you can easily navigate to the venue quickly. And because they go all out for the Singapore Grand Prix preparations, the MRT operates with longer hours, and free shuttle services from select stations are offered on race days. 

Klook Tip: The nearest stops to Zone 1 are Promenade Station (Circle and Downtown Line). Alternatively, you could get off at City Hall (East-West Line and North-South Line) and Esplanade (Circle Line). 

Depending on your zone preference, Singapore Grand Prix tickets range from S$228 for Bay Grandstand to S$988 for Pit Grandstand. 3-day passes are also available for F1 who want to witness the adrenaline from start to finish, with tickets ranging from S$298 to S$1288. Large screens are available in every grandstand to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the action on the track. 

Check the official website for availability. 

Because Singapore Grand Prix tickets are selling like hotcakes, you’d be lucky to snag tickets for the Pit Grandstand.  The grandstand at Turn 1 provides the best views as you catch glimpses of all the racecars zooming into the first corner before drifting through Turns 2 and 3. And don’t get us started on how exhilarating it is to see sparks flying as drivers take off at the start of the race. 

This year, spectators can look forward to a heady mix of acts by established international and local artists. Headlining the entertainment program for Singapore Grand Prix are Marshmello, Westlife, and Green Day who are taking the main Padang stage. Suede, TLC, the Black Eyed Peas, and The Kid Laroi are among other artists included in the lineup for the three-day event.

There sure will be plenty of jumping and cheering during the Singapore Grand Prix, so you’ll want to fuel up your own tank before the race. Explore a variety of food and beverage options that include Michelin-starred cuisine and Singaporean signatures around the area or get buzzed on a classic Singapore Sling at the fabulous Raffles Hotel.
