Formula 1 (F1)

The Bahrain GP was a great mix of racing and entertainment. We watched from Turn 1, which offered great views of the action, and getting there was easy with free shuttles from the city. The fan zone was lively with go-karting, simulators, live music, and local food stalls.

Watching under the floodlights gave the race a unique atmosphere, and everything from the facilities to the organization all ran smoothly. A well-rounded, memorable F1 weekend and would go back.

I have the following tips for you if you wish to attend the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix in person having attended previous editions in person.

1. Members of the public and attendees are strongly advised to take the MRT to get to and from the F1 event area. Using road transport such as driving, taxis, private hire vehicles and buses is strongly discouraged due to the inevitable congestion from road closures. The same advice about members of the public and attendees being strongly encouraged to take the MRT to and from the event area instead of road transport also applies to events where crowds will likely gather such as F1, NDP, NDP Rehearsals, New Year Eve Countdown, CNY Eve Countdown and Chingay.

2. Do expect long queues in the open for security procedures.

3. It is going to be very noisy so it is important to bring along and use ear protection.

Other than the 3 tips above, I had a great time attending the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix in person.

The racing and atmosphere are great fun!

The British fans are always a great laugh and muck in!

However, the pricing and what you get for it could be better.

The field car parking, especially in the wet is still a very big issue.

Access too and from the track in the single lane roads, is also still an issue.

Accessibility for people who have trouble walking is also an issue.

(People have advice, and wanted to help but not everyone had all the necessary information...)

This is what brings my rating down to A 3 star - Can definitely do better.

I'm sorry to be so harsh, but it's because I know it's in you guys to fix all these points.

Come on, I know you can do it!

The 2024 was a mixed bag. Action on track was great and the changeable weather helped make for a great race but wasn't so good for us spectators in general admission!

Gilles Villeneuve is a beautiful circuit but it is very crowded and moving around can be difficult. They have put up a lot of blue covering on fences in places which limits places to watch - I haven't see this done at other F1 tracks and makes it even header to get a good spot if you don't have a reserved seat. We got up extra early on race day to ensure a GA spot - people who came mid-morning were a bit stuck in finding places to view.

I think they need to try and do more for GA customers or limit tickets. If you can afford grandstand tickets I would recommend it.

We watched from Tribune 1 and the view was REALLY good! Also tv screens helped to see what was happenign in other parts of the track. Seating could be a bit more spacious but not a big issue.

Great drive by Max and plenty to stay entertained and the weather 🌧️ didn't really bother us except when trying to get in and out things were quite slow. We used the metro to get there and back, which is busy but okay, but some grandstands seem a long walk from it.

Toilets and food lines were pretty food for a big event and food reasonably priced.
