"The casual alfresco Bay Terrace will serve up local cuisine such as satay, laksa, mee siam, and tandoori from eateries like Indian restaurant Earl of Hindh, American smokehouse MeatSmith and Fat Cat Ice Cream Bar." - Kenneth Goh
"This city-state night-time street circuit hosts the Grand Prix and requires months of meticulous planning: teams begin monitoring ground conditions and potential roadworks four months out to protect last-minute car parts, and cargo manifests—often hundreds of tonnes and millions of dollars in value—are timed to arrive precisely. A multi-agency arrangement simplifies temporary import permits and gives priority customs clearance for race cars and equipment, while the size and layout of the paddock determine how quickly garages and hospitality units can be broken down and packed (typically a six- to eight-hour operation when space and access allow)." - SilverKris
"Opened as the venue for Formula 1’s first-ever night race in 2008, this central waterfront street circuit quickly became known for dramatic, tightly contested events and continual safety and layout evolution. In 2010 Fernando Alonso beat Sebastian Vettel by just 0.293 seconds — the smallest winning margin there to date — and in 2018 Lewis Hamilton secured pole with a 1:36.015 lap before going on to win. Following driver feedback, the notorious “Singapore Sling” chicane was removed in 2013 and replaced with a simpler, faster left-hand turn. The track has also seen alarming incidents, notably a 2015 spectator trespass when two cars passed at almost 290 km/h and the intruder was later arrested, prompting further attention to marshal and spectator safety; by 2019 drivers were required to wear biometric gloves that transmit vital signs to medical teams in the event of a crash." - Delle Chan
