Above the Sky Suites is the Sky Terrace where hospitality guests can go up to watch the race from a different perspective and enjoy the Singaporean skyline

The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix really lives up to its slogan “a race experience like no other”. For hardcore race fans, grandstand tickets are the best way to experience the race, complete with the smell of burned rubber tires and exhaust fumes as well as the ear-piercing sound of the high-revving Formula One cars. But there is an even brighter side of the story, brighter than the 1,500 high-powered street lamps placed in the street track’s 5.073km circuit.

For some 10,000 race aficionados who want something more sophisticated and mundane, Singapore Grand Prix (SGP) offers several options for its hospitality guests. The ultimate with be the ultra-exclusive Paddock Club that is designed for patrons who are looking to be pampered and have a complete experience of watching the race up close and near the F1 race drivers. This is also where the local and international A-list crowd would be seen and want to be seen. The Paddock Club has a team of chefs from renowned and international restaurants that serves five-star international cuisine in a dedicated and purpose-built lifestyle area that is exclusively accessible only to Paddock Club guests. This is in addition to the free-flow of premium wines, signature cocktails and extensive dining options that are available in the individual Paddock Club suites.

For more intimate and private group viewing, SGP also offers corporate suite packages for those who want to watch the race in groups. The suites come with free-flowing drinks and 5-star hotel food catering throughout the 3-day race weekend. Three-day hospitality passes for the F1 Singapore Grand Prix suite packages ranges from S$3,500 per head (for the Green Room suites) and up. For something in between the Paddock Club and Green Room suites, one may take the Sky Suites, which also offers access to its roof deck area called the Sky Terrace to get a much wider and less constricted view of the racetrack. Located on Turns 1, 2 and 3, it also offers a spectacular view of Singapore’s skyline at night. There is an open sky bar and several designer lounge chairs strategically placed for viewers to rest and socialize in between races. To find out more about the hospitality ticket options for next year’s race, contact the local SGP race tour agent Red Rock Travel at 738 6614 or 433 4245 or visit www.redrocktravel.net
