Things to know about Singapore Grand Prix
In case you’ve been out of touch with the world, Formula 1 is the highest level of motorsport racing that is a hit amongst all ages. Held at unique tracks all over the world, the Singapore 2024 edition will come right after the one in Azerbaijan. Look out for last year’s Singapore Grand Prix winner, Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro as he tries to defend his title.
The Singapore Grand Prix is known for being the first-ever Formula 1 night race, held on the challenging Marina Bay Street Circuit. It has been held annually since its opening race in 2008 with the exception of 2021 & 2022 due to Covid-19 restrictions. This year’s race will be held from 20th – 22nd September 2024 and will not only feature F1 races but also a line up of spectacular performances by popular artists and bands like OneRepublic and Dean Lewis.
