The Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025 recorded the second-highest crowd in its 16-year history and the highest attendance since 2023, when changes to the track were introduced. The home of Formula 1 night racing continues to deliver new heights in hospitality while combining thrilling on and off track entertainment.
This year’s official attendance figure for the weekend is 300,641, which represents an increase of 11.7% on last year’s 269,072.
Expanded facilities drive record-breaking crowd
Changes were made to the iconic street circuit in 2023 due to the redevelopment of The Float at Marina Bay, which resulted in an overall capacity reduction. Since then, Singapore GP Pte Ltd has introduced nine new grandstands and three additional hospitality facilities — Observe@3, Drivers’ Right, and Lounge+ — to meet unprecedented demand.
Attendees have also enjoyed brand new thematic lifestyle precincts, innovative entertainment programming, and an increase in food and beverage offerings to provide improved patron experience within the Circuit Park.
65,000 fans have flowed to the Padang each night for headliners G-DRAGON and Foo Fighters. Tonight fans will be treated to a special performance by pop legend Sir Elton John.
FIA environmental certification renewed as event grows
While working hard to increase the event’s popular success, Singapore GP Pte Ltd has kept a watchful eye on its impact. The sport’s governing body, the FIA, recently renewed the event’s Certificate of Three-Star Level within the FIA Environmental Accreditation Framework.
The FIA report said “SGP had continued to demonstrate their commitment to minimising the environmental footprint of the event, while making sure that they delivered a positive racing experience for patrons and the wider community.”
The Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix will continue with another series of firsts in 2026, with the addition of a Sprint Race.
