Thank you for the kind comments! I think the departure time will give you enough time to enjoy the race and concerts before getting to the airport safely. Of course, you will hope there are no delays to the race like in 2022. I would ask one question – what about your luggage? where will you leave that, as you cannot take large bags or suitcases into the circuit. Allow time to collect your bags, not sure where you are staying. Yes, it can get very busy after the race, but I think the MRT will still be the best/quickest way to get to the airport. Be aware that it can be difficult to get a taxi if you are leaving the area when the concerts are finishing. You could pre-book a taxi to leave from your hotel, for example (if you have stored your bags there). One other point; make sure you check in for your flight online ahead of time, this will make things quicker at the airport and you just have to be there around 1-2 hours before your flight, before the bag check closes. Hope this helps!

I wanted to reach out and express my admiration for your forums. I followed your advice last year for the Japanese GP and now I’m venturing to the Singapore GP this year for the first time. I’ve gone through previous years’ questions, and your responses have been very clear. I just want to confirm once again and get your experienced opinion.

My flight from Singapore (SIN) departs at 3:30 am on Monday early morning. I noticed that the race will start at 8 pm, with the concert ideally starting at 10:25 pm. Do you think I will have enough time to attend the concert and getting to the airport safely on time? I’m concerned about potential delays in the race start due to rain or red flags, which could extend the race time (not more than 3 hours, I assume).

Additionally, I’d like to know how congested it gets after the race. Will it be easy to catch the MRT around midnight and reach the airport safely within one hour? Alternatively, would taking a taxi be a safer option?

Thank you in advance for your help and guidance.

Best regards,
Luis Mario

Hi Esme,
1. Yes, you can buy return tickets for the MRT, also daily tickets are available. You will be able to pay with debit/cred card in the machines. (You won’t be able to use the contactless card from London)
2. Yes, you will be able to get close to the stage if you go early and reserve your spot
3. I think it won’t be a problem to find somewhere quiet inside Changi airport to sleep for a few hours.

Yes, if you only want to see Green Day and don’t care about the race, you can get there early and reserve a spot close to the stage.

Thank you so much!

Hi Sachin,
a) The race starts at 8pm. If you want to see the support races, then you should get there early, gates open at 2:30pm. Otherwise, you don’t need to arrive until like 5-6pm for a good experience.
b) I think you will be fine to access the Promenade MRT station after the race. You can even walk on the track to get there if you want
c) Please see the public transport guide for the race, which has locations of taxi ranks. It could be difficult to get a taxi right after the race, but if you wait 1-2 hours I think it will be better.

a) How early should one reach for the race? There were long waiting periods for some European races, though I guess organisation in Singapore would probably be better..

b) My ticket allows access for only zones 3 & 4, but is that true for when the race ends as well? The Promenade MRT station is the nearest one from where I’m sitting, but it’s in Zone 2. So, can I access the station after the race ends?

c) Is there availability of cabs at the end of race? If yes, which area nearest to the Bay Grandstand can I expect to get cabs?

Lots of queries but would really appreciate your response. Thanks.
