decision-making.

Clarke Quay

As Singapore’s premier nightlife destination, it’s no surprise that Clarke Quay is the place to be to soak up sets by renowned DJs in the run up to the Singapore Grand Prix.

At CQ @ Clarke Quay, from October 1-14, you’ll find Beyond The Track, presented by Ray Ban. This high-energy motorsport and entertainment showcase will mix racing, fashion, culture, music and technology, featuring a Ferrari show car and exclusive team gear from Ray-Ban and PUMA. The headline attraction? An appearance by one of Ferrari’s F1 drivers on October 7. Exact details on who will be appearing is yet to be announced.

Resorts World Sentosa has a motorsport takeover during GPSS, turning the resort into “the ultimate racing playground”. Featuring an F1 race car and special appearances from figures within the motorsport world, you’ll find exclusive merchandise and the opportunity to test your skills in the Lenovo Gaming Zone in this event which blends racing, gaming, shopping and entertainment. On October 7, Racing Bulls drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will be making an appearance – and the team’s show car will be on display until October 12.

Elsewhere, Sofitel has an indulgent ‘feast for champions’ from October 2-11, complete with a Race Car Simulator Challenge.

Exclusive Parties & Culinary Experiences

Local restaurants, bars and nightclubs will be embracing Formula 1’s presence. Many will celebrate the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix with special menus and exclusive events. Whether you want to party with members of the F1 fraternity, taste specially-curated cocktails or even experience a luxury takeaway, here are some of the best options available:

• The Town Restaurant at the Fullerton Hotel will have a range of dining experiences for racegoers, including a ‘Fuel Up Brunch’ and a ‘Roaring Dinner Feast’. Learn more.

Enjoy the Singapore Grand Prix Concerts

Since the first race in 2008, the Singapore Grand Prix has attracted musical superstars to perform trackside over the race weekend. The tradition will continue at the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix. Concert headliners in 2026 include The Killers, Lana Del Rey and Janet Jackson, among others. International and local acts perform across multiple stages on race weekend. Learn more here.

Main Event: The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix

Of course, the main attraction for most fans is the racing itself. The Singapore Grand Prix has delivered drama and excitement in the recent years; wet conditions caused havoc in 2022 and Carlos Sainz took the only non-Red Bull victory of the year in 2023. Lando Norris was victorious in 2024 and George Russell took the win last year. The tight confines of the Marina Bay Street Circuit are likely to challenge the drivers once more at the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix.

Our updated trackside guide to attending the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix will help you get the most out of your weekend. It includes the full on-track schedule, details of driver meet and greets, information on food and drink, plus other helpful advice.

Singapore Off-Track

A major draw of the Singapore Grand Prix being held at night is that it gives you time to explore the city during the day before the racing action begins. Check out the interesting architecture in Chinatown, take a trip on the Singapore Flyer to get the best views of the surrounding area or even visit Universal Studios Singapore.
