What To Do During F1 Week In Singapore If You’re Not Watching The Race
The final countdown for F1 weekend in Singapore, happening from 9 to 11 Oct, has begun.
It feels like the whole island is abuzz with everything and anything to do with the night race, from meet-and-greets with F1 drivers and their team managers to exhibitions tracing the history of F1 racing.
But if you're not watching the race, or perhaps you're not even interested in it – yes, all five of you – here are some other things to do during F1 week in Singapore.
6 Oct: NME Presents: Film & TV Trivia Night

You can also get 50% discounts on house beers, wines and cocktails. Plus, it's free entry, so what's not to like?

7 Oct: Witchprov
Forget your usual Wednesday plans and give your hump day a bump with Witchprov, a special improv comedy night that promises a mix of short-form and long-form improv, meaning nobody – including the performers – knows what to expect.

8 to 11 Oct: Night Race Supper Club
This one may sound a little race-adjacent, but only in name. Night Race Supper Club takes you away from the Grand Prix crowds and into Jalan Besar for a two-hour late-night food adventure. Starting at 11pm, you'll sample a proper Lion City supper, with stories about one of Singapore’s most fascinating neighbourhoods, including stops for wanton noodles, bak kut teh and the famously messy Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice.
11pm, meet outside McDonald's City Square Mall. TIckets at $180. Limited to 12 people. Register for Night Race Supper Club
9 Oct: Songs You Grew Up With
Remember that record that instantly transports you back to your teenage bedroom, first heartbreak or questionable fashion choices? If you do, you can bring your fave record down to ART/ST's Analog Club Session, and share all about the music that raised you in this intimate listening event. DJ KidG will lead the session, with a sharing session to follow. It's nostalgia, but make it social. Tickets are $15.
