F1 Fanatic

Those bleachers on the final turn will be packed during the race. First practice is the best time to go. Also a good spot for pictures and it will be daylight as well.

You’re absolutely right @mankster. From where I’ve booked I’ll only be able to see them coming down the straight from about the “Singapore” sign that goes over the grid. That said, we’re higher up on A6 and […]

I would say turn 2 would be my bet if I was going. If you are getting a GA ticket, there may still actually be some stands at the last chicane before the last corner. I went there during the first race in SG and […]

I stayed at the PanPacific Marina in 2010 and 2011. Never paid more than S$360 per night. You need to book early for these rates, when travel sites with block bookings still have an allocation of rooms.

Fairmont is one of my regular hotel in Singapore but I dont stay there during the F1 as the room rates are normally higher than neighbouring hotels. May be if you get a room with a view of the track its worth it. […]

If it’s four or five star you’re after, Orchard Rd is the best value. Marina Bay, Clarke Quay, City Hall jack up the rates too much. I stayed in Geylang for my 09 return visit. The Fragrance Emerald. Handy to […]

Haven’t stayed there but been inside. Pretty ritzy but to pay SG$800+ for a small room and then have to pay for breakfast and wifi is pretty rude. We had the Lotus team in our hotel last year but the drivers […]

We’re sitting in the Turn 1/2 grandstand in block A6. It should get a view looking up the grid about half way and then front-on as the cars come around turn 1 and into the turn 2 and leading into turn 3. We sat […]
