The Formula 1 (F1) Singapore race is often considered the hardest F1 race of the season. "If you survive Singapore, then you're fit for anything else in Formula 1!" says Spanish F1 driver Carlos Sainz (yes, that Ferrari driver who recently got robbed in Milan!).
But the race isn't the only thing that's hot-so are the deals and promotions during the Grand Prix season.
Whether you're currently living and breathing F1 or don't give a hoot about anything other than the inconvenience of the Marina Bay road closures, there's a whole host of F1 dining deals and exclusive promotions that many of us can enjoy. Not to mention the other fringe events and discounts-12per cent off flights and a up to 50per cent off buffets, anyone?
This is your ultimate guide to the best F1 Singapore 2024 deals and promotions, including all-you-can-eat buffet dining deals, a racing simulator in a bar, and free-flow alcohol.
