Formula One brings party to Singapore: US$2,000 hotel rooms, US$70,000 nightclub tables, Black Eyed Peas and Kid Laroi, DJs
- The Formula 1 circus is coming to Singapore and the city is gearing up to let its hair down with live music, pop-up nightclubs and hotel and race packages
- They’re not cheap though: you will pay US$2,000 for a hotel room, and a VIP table in a club can cost up to US$70,000
Formula One leaders Max Verstappen, Charles LeClerc and Sergio Perez will have their work cut out for them when they return to the Singapore Grand Prix on October 2, for the first time since 2019.
The bumpy F1 circuit is especially punishing because it follows a route that swirls through Singapore’s city streets. This will be the first road-going course race drivers encounter since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in June.
What’s more, Singapore GP will run 61 laps over that uneven asphalt and through 23 slow corners at night, making it even more precarious for the ultra-stiff suspensions of Formula One racing cars.
Racing fans, on the other hand, will have a much smoother time in Singapore – especially if they are ready to splash out.
“You may have heard about how Singapore is boring, so the Grand Prix adds a bit of spark and buzz to the island,” says Gary Ng, a lifelong Singapore resident.
“It is great for petrol-heads and those who want to have fun. Singapore rarely lets its hair down.”
