Marina Bay Sands Singapore GP weekend

Does anyone know if you can watch the Grand Prix from the SkyPark?

Put this on the Asia thread and XJS John will tell you the correct info,

You can, but you have to book a room and surprisingly they have a few left. I suggest you grab them now.

As already mentioned, have to be a guest, the "public access areas" are usually booked for corporate shenanigans run from Ku De Ta restaurant & nightclub


Anyway, as it is so high, you won't get a get view for race day .... Also there is not much "edge" to actually see from, although o suppose could watch from the swimming pool!

Other options are one altitude on the top of the UOB tower (it's a rooftop bar 220 meters up), we did a pistonheads meet of sorts there last year a good spot for Friday practice.

You can also get dinner tickets to watch the race from the Singapore Flyer (London eye type thing) but TBH, the grandstands are still the best.

Anywhere on T1 to 3 is good, or the Padang.

Hotels in Singapore are F$&@ expensive over f1 weekend as they slap a government tax surcharge on them!

Actually on second thoughts, make certain the rooms have a view at least-I was on one trip a couple of years ago and the threw me into the first floor which is similar to a 4th floor in a normal hotel (because of the atrium) absolutely no views other than some bushes and they advised that's all they had left, as said better of track-side.

Cheers.

Toying with the idea at the moment but seeing as mrs envy would only watch the race I was wondering about just getting race tickets and watching quali from up there.
