SINGAPORE: Singapore's skyline has changed yet again since the last Formula One race. This year, one of the newest icons at the fringe of the circuit, Marina Bay Sands (MBS), has come up with a series of F1-related packages to welcome race enthusiasts from Singapore and beyond.

The Sands SkyPark, which is about 200 metres above ground, offers an unparalleled view of the race track.

Overseas visitors can also enjoy free shuttle service to MBS from the airport.

A month before the race, F1 fans can experience hitting over 200kph in the Williams F1 simulation car.

F1 world champion Jensen Button will also make an appearance at The Shoppes at MBS two days before the race begins.

Avalon, a Los Angeles nightclub set to open at MBS next January, will host a two-night musical festival, starting 23 September.

MBS president and CEO Thomas Arasi said: "Singapore has been described as one of the best F1 venues in the world and as the city's newest icon, Marina Bay Sands cannot wait to be part of this year's thrilling event."
