Track Info
Marina Bay Street Circuit - Singapore
Temporary street circuit around Marina Bay - clockwise - iconic night race with long stints between heavy braking zones
When was the track built?
Laid out through the Downtown Core and around the bay, Marina Bay opened in 2008 after a rapid build. The original plan was refined to suit city streets and landmarks like the Padang and the Singapore Flyer. The circuit has evolved for safety and racing quality, most notably in 2013 around the Anderson Bridge area and again in 2023 when the floating bayfront section was removed in favor of a faster, more open run toward the final corners.
When was its first race?
The venue's first race was the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, Formula 1's first night race. Since then the event has become a calendar centerpiece with huge crowds and a city festival surrounding the track.
What's the circuit like?
- Street precision: Concrete walls, painted lines and bumps mean traction and confidence over kerbs are everything. The lap strings together many medium-speed entries with late braking.
- Brakes and cooling: Stop-start sections into Turns 7 and 14 punish brakes, while humid night air challenges cooling and driver fitness.
- Two DRS zones: Typically along Raffles Boulevard from Turn 5 toward Turn 7, and on the pit straight into Turn 1. Both create real passing opportunities.
- Strategy and safety cars: Historically high likelihood of Safety Car periods. Track position matters, but undercuts can work when tyres switch on cleanly.
- Benchmark pace: Official F1 race lap record 1:33.808 on the 4.927 km layout. Qualifying laps have dipped into the high 1:29s in recent seasons.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- Formula 1 (race lap): 1:33.808 - Lewis Hamilton, 2025 Singapore GP - current 4.927 km layout.
- Formula 1 (2023 2024 layout): 1:34.486 - Daniel Ricciardo, 2024 Singapore GP - 4.940 km configuration.
- Porsche Carrera Cup Asia: Modern 992 GT3 Cup race laps typically around 2:03 - 2:05 under the lights.
- F1 Academy: All-female F4 series laps in the low 2:03 range on recent visits, showcasing tight pack racing on the street course.
- Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific: Regular support category with booming GTs and big kerb usage through the final sector.
Why go?
A genuine city-night spectacle - skyline backdrops, waterfront grandstands and a festival atmosphere from practice to the chequered flag. The schedule runs late, so you can explore hawker centers and downtown sights by day and watch racing under the lights after sunset.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Turn 1 - 2: Prime for starts, restarts and DRS lunges from the main straight. Great view of pit action and penalties playing out.
- Turn 7 grandstands: Heavy braking from the Raffles Boulevard DRS - classic divebomb zone with cutback chances on exit.
- Turn 14 hairpin: End of a long acceleration zone - last big stop and a springboard to the final sector.
- Anderson Bridge section: Atmospheric night views as cars flick across the bridge and thread narrow barriers at speed.
- Main grandstand: Podium, pit stops and the chequered flag with the city skyline as a backdrop.
Not just F1: Singapore's support bill
Porsche Carrera Cup Asia: Deep regional grids and slipstream battles down Raffles Boulevard.
F1 Academy: Brings competitive junior single-seaters to the streets with multiple races across the weekend.
Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific and regional one-make cups: Provide GT fireworks and kerb-hopping action between headline sessions.
