Padang Grandstand — the honest trade-off
Weak racing view, unbeatable proximity to the Padang Stage headliners — know which you're buying

290km/h braking into three corners of jostling cars — but only half the sections actually see it
Marina Bay
Zone 4 Walkabout — the honest budget ticket
No seat, real racing at Turns 13-14, and the whole Padang Stage lineup for the lowest price at the race
Marina Bay
Grandstand or Walkabout — the real ticket decision
Sixteen grandstands, two Walkabout tiers, one honest guide to which suits how you want to watch

Sentosa Island — a real day trip before race night
Beaches, cable cars, and Universal Studios, genuinely doable before an evening session thanks to the night race format
