SINGAPORE FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX

We had an amazing time at the Singapore GP. Our Pitlane seats were great, right opposite the Red Bull and McClaren garages as requested. Felt that we were right in the heart of the action and enjoyed every minute of it. The only downsides were the state of the public toilets and the fast food vendors, not very good! The best place to get food was at the Flyer where there was a good choice and not bad prices. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton which was wonderful. We watched some support races from our room and it only took us a short time to walk to the Grandstand.

Superb organisation for the whole event, plenty of staff about to help or direct and they were all happy to do so. All facilities were clean and plentiful. Seats we had on the Pit Grandstand were excellent, high enough to see over the fence and into the pits and along the track but close enough to fel you were in the action. Only small minus was the catering seemed worse this year than in 2009, long queues and not a good choice. Easy walking access to the circuit from our hotel near Clarke Quay.

There can be few views better than from the Bay Grandstand, Singapore

It was a enjoyable experience and was thorougly enjoyed. The access to the circuit was easy to get to

If you haven't been you must, it was the most exciting place to be, we sat between turn 7 and 8 where Michael decided to end his race, I must say that a lot of action took place along this stretch of the circuit. We have been to many races but Singapore is now one of our favorites its a beautiful city a must for any racing fan.

An excellent weekend

More T.V screens needed is my only complain.

This was a very well organised and spectacular Grand Prix, from the Friday through to the Sunday. Nothing really to complain about as the Singapore people are extremely friendly and helpful. Well organised!! Maybe a couple of extra refreshment areas could be catered for around the tract at the different grand stands!!

It was an amazingly weekend, very well organised. The only downside was the location of Linkin Park. The circuit set up did not allow us time to get to the concert. Also we were disappointed that Shakiras performance fineness changed with no prior notice.

Amazing weekend! 3 nights is good value for ticket, stunning views over the marina bay from bay grandstand. It's a well organised event. Tickets came early and delivery was fine with regular email updates from Book F1. The race is spectacular + music entertainment and Singapore is such a nice city to visit. The race is noisy of course so next time I'd rent some radio headphones so you can hear the commentary too as it gets drowned out on the big screens by the cars. Highly recommended and Book F1 look after you well! Thanks.

Fantastic spectacle, brilliant! Although we occasionally left our Bay grandstand seating to get closer glimpses of the action track-side, I feel the tickets were still great value considering the awesome view of Singapore's city-scape at night.

I have been to other GP including Monaco. This by far beats the rest. Not only for the night experience but for the show Singapore putts on. We watched top performances all for the price of ticket. The atmosphere in Monaco was great but this was something else. Connaught you got very close to the car whizzing past, but large screan in front to keep eye on race. I would suggest booking hotel close to circuit (which we did) as it could be difficult with the local trains. I loved the whole weekend and have said we would go back. Only disappoimtment was the did not get close to the dirvers (unlike Monaco).

Unfortunately we could not get there on the Friday but arrived on the Saturday at about 3.30pm and found it extremely well organised and found our seats and area without any difficulty at all. We travelled on the MRT from our hotel which again was very easy and very reasonably priced. The queues were long but it did not seem to worry anybody, everybody took it in their stride. Took a quite a time to get out of the area on the Saturday. On the Sunday we arrived later as it was very hot and enjoyed the race and entertainment. Again we travelled by the MRT which again was well organised. The race was amazing and the weather was exceptional (although they forecast heavy rain - it did not happen). After Saturday leaving we took our time on the Sunday and it was a lot easier getting out and this time we managed to get a taxi back to our hotel. The whole weekend was amazing and would not have missed it for anything.

We had a fantastic time in Singapore !
The whole race weekend was well orgainised with lost to do and all in all it was superb. The tickets supplied by yourselves arrived well in advance of me leaving for Asia and the whole party enjoyed themselves. So Many Thanks

Day 1 - it would have been good if we had read the tickets and realised no entry to circuit before 3.00 p.m. (our fault) - first drinks were very expensive but alternative sources available for food and drink within the race grounds and thereafter all was good on this front - entertainment good - race and support races, practice and qualifying good - could have been a little more action on track to fill in some of the wait

Day 2 & 3 - excellent atmosphere - very enjoyable - Republic Grandstand in good position

Having decided on the cheaper option for my first ever F1 I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. I'd seen some good photos from a friend's Siverstone 2011 GP.
Firstly, access by Gate 7 had gone wrong somewhere. The last sign pointing the way just sent me round a building with no clue as to where to go. I had to retrace to the MRT station and go in through Gate 3. I saw Gate 7 from inside, so it exists somewhere but the route was poorly marked.
Unfortunately I got a seat on the right-hand end of the Marina Bay Grandstand so just got to see the cars going away from me on a short slow straight. During the Friday afternoon practices there were more people there than I expected, and getting to a decent spot to take photos was not an option. Having no roof I was happy that there was no rain, but you have to make sure you have sun-cream on. As dusk set in the fabulous view changed to moody dark greys and my camera was unable to capture any more than a blurred car (as expected). After about 4 hours of sitting in the small plastic moulded seat though my legs felt very uncomfortable. Luckily I didn't have anyone either side of me so I could stretch out but I couldn't get comfortable. I therefore left early after the shortened first practice and decided that it was going to be better to watch the race on TV. So I bought all my rather expensive souvenirs from the good and patient staff at the tents and departed early. I didn't attend the qualifying or the race, and happily watched the qualifying in the Amara's bar, and the race from a bar in Clarke Quay. We even had the sound feed from the BBC so we got Martin Brundle and DC. I'm not convinced that the commentary at the venue would be audible with ear-defenders on and a full race in progress, and without commentary it's not much better than watching traffic on the motorway. I guess I expected that, but without a reasonable view of the track it wasn't worth persevering with.
There was quite a variety of food available below the grandstand, though I didn't partake. Note that you're not allowed to take food or drink into the venue, other than a small bottle of water. Sitting out in the Singapore sun for 3 or 4 hours isn't going to do you any favours, so take sun protection. There was only a motley collection of plastic porta-loos as this is not a custom race venue.
So, in conclusion, it's better to pay more and go for a seat by a longer straight or at a corner, take a cushion, and possibly a radio, but I also stand by my solution of watching the race in a bar somewhere. I was in Singapore for more than the GP so the experience didn't affect my holiday adversely.

just one bit of advice don't waste money on grandstand ticket premier walkabout much better choice

First grand prix and it was amazing! Got a fantastic view of the race from the free stand at Turn 1 and by having Fanvision I didn't miss any of the on track action - although a bit disappointed that it only had radio 5 live commentary and not DC and Martin! Got to meet several drivers outside the Paddock entrance who signed autographs and posed for pictures (except for a couple who refused but I won't name names!)
Loved all the entertainment and got to see Rick Astley, Shaggy, Shakira, Linkin Park and Boy George, but you do need to get there early for a good spot!!
Stayed at the Marina Mandarin Hotel, would recommend them to everyone, our room had a view of 3 areas of the track and was only a minutes walk from Gate 7. Housekeeping also gave us earplugs and bottles of water which I thought was a nice touch.
I'll definitely be going back!

The whole weekend was totally amazing. Fantastic seats with a great view of the racing circuit. Everything was so well organised with plenty of entertainment, food and drink stalls. Well worth a second visit!

Singapore certainly knows how to put on a spectacular event and one which is really well organized with easy access to ticket collection, all gates, grandstands, and zones.
Even with Walkabout tickets we were no further than 10 feet from the track!
Amazing.
