Watching an F1 race live isn’t rare, but gaining daily limited access to the team paddock during the day with a personal guide, then enjoying the night from a top-tier VIP box with champagne in hand while watching Ferrari driver Felipe Massa go head-to-head at high speed with racing legend Michael Schumacher — that’s truly something special. With the 2012 Singapore F1 Night Street Race just around the corner, a local travel operator has exclusively launched a premium F1 tour package, departing on September 21. The cost per person is NT$600,000, with fewer than 10 spots available nationwide and a minimum of 2 participants. This tour adds yet another exceptional luxury travel option.

The Singapore F1 Night Street Race has been held annually since 2008 and is now in its fifth year, making it the only night race on the F1 calendar. The Marina Bay Street Circuit is set up on downtown Singapore’s streets, spanning 5.073 kilometers, with lighting infrastructure built at a cost of NT$200 million. The race route passes iconic sights such as the Merlion and the Esplanade. This year’s event will feature Ferrari’s Felipe Massa, back after injury, and Michael Schumacher, who returned to racing last year following retirement, competing against the youngest-ever F1 champion, Sebastian Vettel. The race is drawing global attention from motorsport enthusiasts.
This premium package not only includes race viewing but also provides each participant with a daily-limited Pit Lane Walk entry pass, allowing access to the team paddock during specified times with a guided tour led by F1 officials, offering an up-close look at world-class racing machines and crew. Additionally, over the three nights of the street race, guests will enjoy VIP access to the best-seated Paddock Club box, overlooking the competition. Surrounded by professional F1 service ambassadors, they’ll dine and drink alongside global celebrities and the elite, savoring world-class cuisine and wines, all while the roar of engines exceeding 300 km/h echoes under the Singapore night sky illuminated by 1,500 spotlights.
