The Marina Bay Street Circuit (otherwise known as the Singapore Street Circuit) is a street circuit around Marina Bay, Singapore, encompassing the planning areas of Downtown Core (Turns 4 to 19) and Kallang (Turns 1 to 3).[2][3]

It is the venue for the Singapore Grand Prix.[4] The track is 4.940 km (3.070 mi)[5] long in a harbourside location similar in style to the Circuit de Monaco and the Valencia Street Circuit.

The circuit was designed by KBR,[6] and is a modification of the original one first proposed by Hermann Tilke.[6] The circuit has a FIA Grade 1 license.[7] The circuit held a unique record of having at least one safety car appearance in every race until the 2024 race.[8] There has been a total of 24 safety car deployments in 15 races.[9][10][11]
