The Singapore Grand Prix, Formula One’s only night race, takes place around the Marina Bay Circuit on the evening of Sunday 22 September. The first race at the 5.065 km circuit took place in 2008 and the venue has since firmly established itself as a favorite on the Formula One calendar.
Each previous Singapore Grand Prix has featured at least one Safety Car deployment, with a total of eight in five races. The average corner speed of 135 km/h is one of the season’s lowest, with 17 of the 23 corners taken at 150 km/h or less. The average elapsed time of the past five races has been 1hr 58mins, 1.5 times longer than that of Monza.
As in past years, there is something for everyone happening at all times of the day – from multi-brand pop-up Hidden Finds by Public Garden (20-22 September) to exciting dining concepts under the Bacchanalia Brunch Series (13-23 September) to comedy acts such as Comedy Club Asia (11-15 September) and of course, the 2013 Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix (20-22 September), which is still the only night race in the global Formula 1 circuit and racing fans can expect three full days of adrenaline-pumping action as some of the biggest names in Formula 1 racing make their way through downtown Singapore.
Entertainment takes centre stage once again with stellar in-circuit headliners like Bigbang (20 September), The Killers (21 September) and Rihanna (22 September) in addition to legendary singer Tom Jones, esteemed singer-songwriter and philanthropist Bob Geldof, soul singer- songwriter Laura Mvula and English illusionist Dynamo, amongst various stunning productions and electrifying parades.
