Porsche at Marina Bay Street Circuit — Porsche Carrera Cup Asia 2017 Singapore (2017)

Singapore's Marina Bay Street Circuit hosted Rounds 9 and 10 of the 2017 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia as a Formula 1 support race.

The venue

The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a temporary course laid out on closed public roads around Singapore's Marina Bay. Barriers, fencing and lighting are installed for the event, with grandstands, viewing areas and a paddock built alongside the track. Outside race weekends the same roads carry ordinary city traffic, so the venue exists as a circuit only for the duration of the meeting.

How the space was used

For this project the circuit carried the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia support races on 15–17 September 2017, with Rounds 9 and 10 run under floodlights. Team paddock space, pit lane and grid procedures were set up for the one-make series, and spectator areas along the street layout were used for race viewing across the three days.

Why it works here

A street circuit already brings the infrastructure a support series needs: pit lane, paddock, barriers and lighting in one continuous footprint. Running a one-make championship alongside a Formula 1 weekend places the cars directly in front of an existing grandstand audience, and the night schedule lets the racing read against the lit city skyline.
