REVVING UP FOR FLAG-OFF
Ready to witness the world’s first FORMULA 1™ night race?
We at Singapore GP look forward to welcoming you to the 2008 FORMULA 1™ SingTel Singapore Grand Prix and to make your experience a truly memorable one.
To maximise your enjoyment, here is some important information to get you ready for the action.
Tickets
A general pass consists of a separate ticket and lanyard for each race day. Guests are required to display the ticket, landyard and wristband (where applicable) of the corresponding day clearly at all times. Please note that after entry to the Circuit Park, tickets are not transferable for that particular day.
Should you decide to bring along additional guests, please note that ticketing booths are also available at all gates around the Circuit Park over the race weekend (subject to availability of tickets).
Lost your ticket? Call the ticketing hotline at +65 6738 6738 to find out how to replace your lost ticket.
Dress Code
With the afternoon full of activities across the Circuit Park leading up the races, be sure to dress comfortably. Put on a hat, a good pair of walking shoes, the all-important sun-screen and you’re good to go.
As this is a rain or shine event, ponchos will be available but due to safety regulations, umbrellas are not permitted into the Circuit Park.
Money
Whilst there are some ATM facilities within and surrounding the Circuit Park, it is recommended that you bring enough cash for the day with you. Credit cards are also accepted at certain outlets within the Circuit Park, however we recommend cash for most purchases.
