Marina Bay Street – the most stylish night racetrack in Southeast Asia
As the inaugural night race of the renowned global speed championship, the Marina Bay track has become one of the standout features of the World Grand Prix Championship. Marina Bay Street circuit boasts a flawless lighting system with thousands of modern high-pressure sodium lights, perfectly mimicking daylight conditions.
The 5.063 km-long circuit features 23 tight corners evenly spread throughout its length. What sets Marina Bay Street apart is that this track doesn't demand high engine power, but rather emphasizes the driving technique and control of the racers.
Marina Bay Street is also the only street circuit in Asia. Since its inaugural race in 2008, over 250,000 fans converge on the island nation every year. And naturally, this is an opportunity to witness expert speed handling amidst the roaring engine sounds, with speeds reaching up to 325km/h, against the awe-inspiring night backdrop of iconic buildings along Marina Bay.
