Singapore’s first-ever F1 Sprint weekend lands in October, and the city knows how to do race week.
The 2026 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix runs 9-11 October at Marina Bay Street Circuit. This year it’s a Sprint weekend — Sprint Qualifying on Friday, a 100km Sprint Race on Saturday, and the Grand Prix on Sunday night.
Here are ten ways to be in the room, from a free community RSVP to the post-race table that starts at $100,000.
1. Singapole
Singapore’s most committed F1 fan community isn’t a sports bar — it’s a group of strangers who RSVP and watch together.
Singapole (@singa.pole) is a local motorsport fan community that organises watch party gatherings for races throughout the F1 season. The crowd is fellow enthusiasts, the RSVP is free through the link in their Instagram bio, and they’ve been running this format across multiple race weekends. For the October Singapore GP, follow their account and grab the link when the event drops.
Location: Rotating venue
Admission: Free; RSVP via @singa.pole on Instagram
2. Hit the Apex @ Clarke Quay
Ten days of free race weekend energy at Clarke Quay — sim racing, live music, and a Hot Wheels pop-up that is better than it sounds.
Hit the Apex runs from 26 September to 11 October 2026 at CQ @ Clarke Quay, covering the full Grand Prix Season window. The programme includes sim racing championships, live music by Music Matters Live, and a Hot Wheels F1 installation. Free entry across all ten days — the easiest way into race weekend atmosphere without a table deposit or circuit ticket.
Admission: Free
Date: 26 September-11 October 2026
Location: CQ @ Clarke Quay, 3 River Valley Road, Singapore 179024
Opening hours: 2-11:30pm
3. National Gallery Padang Deck
One of the cleanest unobstructed track views in Singapore, and nobody charges you for it.
The Padang Deck and Coleman Deck on Level 6 of National Gallery sit directly above the Padang stretch of the Marina Bay Street Circuit. No grandstands or banners between you and the cars — just a clean overhead angle.
The Gallery extends its hours over the race weekend; confirm before heading up. Get there at least an hour before the race — the deck fills fast.
Admission: Free
Location: National Gallery Singapore, 1 St Andrew’s Road, Singapore 178957
Opening hours: 10am-7pm
4. Marina Square Roof Garden
Turns 6 and 7 are yours from the Marina Square Roof Garden — no queue, no fee, five floors above street level.
The outdoor Roof Garden and the link bridge to Suntec City give you direct sightlines to Turns 6 and 7 of the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Open-air and free. Go early — this is one of the better-known free spots, and the good positions are taken well before flag-off on race night.
Admission: Free
Location: Roof Garden, Marina Square, 6 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039594
5. BQ Bar
BQ Bar at Boat Quay runs a year-round Formula 1 screening programme — Practice, Qualifying, Sprint, and Race Day sessions all listed on their website.
Big screens, riverside tables, and a crowd that follows the full season. Book a table before race weekend; riverside spots go fast.
Location: 39 Boat Quay, Singapore 049828
6. Harry’s Singapore — Eat.Play.Race.
Last year, Harry’s turned the pre-race weeks into a cross-outlet challenge — dine, collect stamps, and compete on sim rigs for prizes. So they might bring it back again this year
Harry’s Eat.Play.Race. ran across the Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, and South Beach outlets in the lead-up to the Singapore GP. Dine at each location, collect a digital stamp, and earn access to Razer x Legion of Racers sim rigs to compete on the leaderboard. No separate registration — show up at any Harry’s outlet and start.
Disclaimer: Harry’s Singapore has not officially announced this year’s Eat.Play.Race.
Location: Boat Quay / Clarke Quay Central / South Beach
7. LeVeL33
The world’s highest urban microbrewery is 33 floors above the circuit — house-brewed craft beer while cars lap below you.
In 2025, LeVeL33 hosted its F1 High package on qualifying day, pairing on-site craft beers with panoramic views of Marina Bay and the circuit below. Indoor dining starts from $158 per person; terrace seating from $258. Stay tuned to see if they’re bringing back the package this year.
Location: #33-01, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, 8 Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018981
Opening hours: 12-11pm
8. CÉ LA VI
The Singapore GP’s best-known rooftop party — 57 floors above the circuit, multi-day format, and it books out.
Last year, CÉ LA VI hosted OVERDRIVE: Race Weekend at Marina Bay Sands over the Sprint weekend, with the rooftop positioned directly above the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The format runs across Saturday and Sunday as a continuous party session with guest DJs and a cocktail programme.
The 2026 lineup is TBC, but the venue books out every year, so check early.
Date: 9-11 October 2026
Location: CÉ LA VI, Marina Bay Sands Tower 3, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956
9. Amber Lounge
The most famous F1 after-party on the global circuit, and its Singapore edition is the one that drivers and team principals actually attend.
Amber Lounge returns to The Clifford Pier at Fullerton Bay Hotel for two post-race nights on 10 and 11 October 2026. Table-only, with Platinum Table, Amber Suite, and Noir Suite packages. The Noir Suite starts at S$100,000. Platinum Table packages are available via enquiry at amberlounge.com.
Date: 10-11 October 2026
Location: The Clifford Pier, Fullerton Bay Hotel, 80 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049326
Admission: Table packages; enquire at amberlounge.com
10. Senate Grand Prix — Trackside Hospitality
The one option that puts you inside the Marina Bay Street Circuit watching the race from a lounge, not from behind a screen.
Senate Grand Prix operates official F1 hospitality suites within the circuit perimeter — the Turn 3 Lounge, the Sky Suite with start/finish line and pit lane views, and the Twenty3 Suite with podium and post-race fireworks views.
Package and reservations are available on their website.
Date: 9-11 October 2026
Location: Marina Bay Street Circuit, various trackside positions
