About Marina Bay
The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a street circuit around Marina Bay, Singapore, encompassing the planning areas of Downtown Core and Kallang. It is the venue for the Singapore Grand Prix. The track is unique in that the race is held at night, illuminated by thousands of powerful projectors that replicate daylight conditions.
It is one of the most physically demanding races on the calendar due to the bumpy street surface, the humidity of Singapore, and the sheer number of corners. The race often runs close to the two-hour time limit. The layout threads its way past iconic landmarks like the Singapore Flyer and the Anderson Bridge.
The circuit requires high downforce and excellent traction. There is very little margin for error, with concrete walls lining the entire track. Safety Car interventions are almost guaranteed, adding a layer of strategic complexity. Modifications in 2023 removed four corners in the final sector to create a new straight, slightly increasing the average speed.
