Best (Free) Spots To Watch The Race
The night race is located along one of the busier streets of Singapore, which is transformed into a race track for the race and there are plenty of landmarks and shopping centres that do offer a good view of the race.
But be prepared to sweat it out if it is outdoors with many others who are there to watch the race for free too.
Here are some locations to watch the race:
Marina Square
You can catch the race cars along Turn 6 and 7 at this spot. For a better look, head to the roof garden on the third floor where you can see Turn 15 and 16. But as the viewing is outdoors, do bring an umbrella or a portable fan and some water to quench your thirst.
You can get views of Turn 5 and 6 here and can maybe even smell the burnt tires as they speed along the road on the race track.
Raffles Place
The busy business district is located next to the race track and you might be able to get a great view. But do note that there will be road closures in the area close to the race track, so you may have to walk there on top of finding a good viewing spot.
Best Hotel Locations To Watch The Race
You will be pampered and treated to an eyewatering display in the comfort of your hotel room.
