  Obvious question = What time do you leave Singapore?

  Sounds very tight, but if it were free I'd go anyway. Just got to hope there are no delays on the way out otherwise you could miss it altogether.
  
  Google maps seems to suggest it is 20km and 20 minutes from the airport to the F1 circuit.
  
  I assume you'd get most of Monday free in Singapore too?
  
  Sounds a good adventure and one you may regret missing.

  The race lasts a while, so you'd see at least some of it.
  
  Regret the things you do, not the things you don't do.

  You stay at home and I will go in your place and let you know if you could have made it in time. ;)

  It looks like it'll be around 23:00 on the Monday, looking at the flight arrival times...

  I think the doubt is coming from 4 visits to Silverstone, and the associated queuing/delays/general chaos that goes with that - perhaps that close to the race any blockages will have calmed down!

  You could post on their facebook page, probably be a wealth of info on there.

  Takes about 30 odd mins into SIngapore normally via the subway system,all very tight though as any flight delay would make the trip pointless,immigration is swift though and very efficient.

  Would be mad to fly all that time just to catch a glimpse of it.
  
  I saw them setting up the course but left a few days before the first one there.

  Hmm that's the issue - as I said before I've been to the British GP four times now, and if anything the race itself, once you've had the first two or three manic blow-your-eardrums laps, becomes almost secondary to the rest of the day - milling about the various stalls, soaking up the atmosphere and watching the support races/stunts etc. With this, I'm literally going to get there (if at all) just before the lights go green and miss all the peripheral stuff.
  
  On the flip-side...it is a virtually free trip to somewhere I've never been before, albeit close to 40-hours travelling for the privilege...

  If its not business class or you dont have a stopover I wouldnt do it personally, you'll feel crap after such a long flight and the best part of being in singapore for the GP is the afterparty's

  madness! Far too far to go on the off chance you mind get their in time to be at the back watching one corner of a lap and then travel back
  
  I wont even go their with the environmental damage of travelling that far for something you can see for free over here with a view on all the race.

  I always thought it was regret the things you don't do, not the things you do?

  without you, it will contain someone who is probably making the flight for a good reason
