Boosted and ready to roar: Two new support races and F1 Meet & Greet session rev up the high-octane weekend

27 July 2022, Singapore – Petrolheads can look forward to brand new support races on the Marina Bay Street Circuit when the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2022 returns this 30th September to 2nd October. In addition to the Formula 1 action, the Marina Bay Street Circuit will also play host to support races making their exciting debut in Singapore – all-female single-seater racing championship W Series, and one of Asia’s most competitive GT Series, the TSS The Super Series.

New for this year, Formula 1 fans can catch their favourite drivers in a special F1 Meet & Greet session on Saturday, 1 October. For the first time ticket holders can see their favourite racers up close at the Zone 1 Wharf Stage.

Making their exciting debut on the Marina Bay Street Circuit as well as their first race in Asia is the all-female international single-seater motor racing championship, W Series. Singapore will host the seventh round of the 2022 season, which is currently led by reigning double champion, Jamie Chadwick of Jenner Racing. The 24-year-old Briton has won the first five races of W Series’ record 10-race 2022 campaign. Refer to ANNEX A for more details on W Series.

 

 

 

Catherine Bond Muir, Chief Executive Officer of W Series said: “Our 2022 season promised to be a landmark one as we staged more races (10) in a single season that ever before, including a first-ever race in Asia, which is a key market for us. The Marina Bay Street Circuit has built a fantastic reputation for great racing and we’re sure the atmosphere will be incredible as racing returns there after a break. We staged our first-ever race on a street circuit in Miami in May to great acclaim, and I’m sure our drivers will put on another exciting show at Marina Bay and continue to inspire new fans of W Series in Asia.”

 

 

 

Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, TSS The Super Series is the biggest domestic racing series in Thailand and is also inscribed by the FIA. The series, which is racing in Singapore for the first time, features an exciting mix of GT3/ GTM and GTC supercars.
