Ladies and gentlemen, I genuinely cannot believe I’m saying this after a whole year of earnestly and eagerly waiting for this weekend to arrive: the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix is almost here! It’s only a matter of days before the sound of wheels squealing against our streets fills the air before Singapore lights up and comes alive.

Even though we’re well into the second half of the season, with just the last few races remaining, this is the first time in a while that we’re actually witnessing a true title fight – Who will be the World Champion?
Well, it’s an incredible season, and we cannot wait for the drivers to come guns blazing for one of the toughest circuits on the entire roster: the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore. But that’s not all that’s blazing. Oh, no. The whole country is burning up with thrilling activities and events to get us in the spirit ahead of a promising Singapore Grand Prix, and we’ve compiled for you some of the most high-octane ones you wouldn’t want to miss!
