TRAVEL SINGAPORE

A RACE WEEKEND WORTH TRAVELLING FOR.

If you are already coming all this way to race, why not log a few miles more? Singapore is the kind of city that rewards curiosity on foot.

One turn might lead you along a glittering waterfront. The next might take you through leafy parks and lively neighbourhood streets, with the scent of a hawker stall never too far away. Consider it extra mileage... with better views and even better snacks!
