other info
closed pits
The driver pits are closed to the public at Mercury Baypark Stadium. However, we will have a similar set up to the previous year, where pits are set up in a 'U' shape, allowing the public to still have a look at the inside action.
driver signing session
As we do every year, there will be driver signing sessions in the Stadium Lounge for all fans. Times for these will be communicated prior to the event.
NOTE: Children aged under 15 need to be accompanied by an adult. Children must be supervised at all times.
MOTOR RACING IS DANGEROUS AND SPECTATORS ATTENDING THIS EVENT DO SO ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK.
