The Survival Guide to Formula 1 Partying

As the engines begin to rev up, the city is slowly moving into a state of frenzy!

Celebrations abound, the most spoken-about event of the year is back and how! This year’s Formula 1 promises to be bigger, better and more hectic with the infamous after race partying at an all time high!

Vanilla Luxury comes to the rescue; as we list our tips that will make it easier for you to last through the weekend - think of it as your Grand Prix Nightlife Survival Kit!

What to Wear?

That dreaded question again. What to wear? With the never ending list of events to be attended during this glorious week, even the best of our closets tend to give up. Covetella are here to save the day with a promise that you will never have to repeat a dress! Rent from their wide range of designer outfits and have a courier pick it up once you are done. It’s truly that easy, since they even take care of any aftercare and dry cleaning for you. What is more you can go in for a fitting and get your outfit altered too!

Getting Ready

Don't have the time to call salons and book all your appointments for specialised services? Vaniday needs to become your best virtual friend ever! From the latest beauty trends to reserving a range of services across the island, Vaniday takes the pain out of exploring salon options and then booking with the stylist. You also get access to exclusive promotions and deals, to ensure you won't spend an entire month’s wages on just getting your hair done! Vaniday has a list of barbers, hot shaves and other male beauty services for those busy boys too!

P.S - If you want the pampering to continue when you get to the party, don't forget to attend ‘Her Fabulousness’, an event which includes a night of drinks, manicures by NFU.OH, makeovers by Style and Beauty experts, massages by L'Essenza and more at the Sky Grande Prix!

How to Get There?

Everyone recommends using the MRT to get to the Formula 1! We won't deny it being the most viable mode of transportation, but during race time only!

After Vanilla Luxury’s Editor-in-Chief had to carry her Chanel heels barefoot through the MRT station and beyond last year; wearing heels while traveling by train is a lesson none of us want to relearn!

This is where the powers to be at Uber and Uber-Pool come in. No hassle of parking, finding the right route or paying astronomically inflated rates for taxis on ‘special days’. It’s great to meet new people too!

Where to be Seen?

From banners on the roads of Singapore to A-listers shouting about the event, you definitely need to find out more about the Sky Grandé Prix 2016.

Attracting over 7,500 revellers in 2015, the extravaganza is set to be bigger and better, with festivities that feature five themed-nights (14th to 18th September), promising all party goers an unforgettable indulgent experience ranging from champagne and diamonds to fast cars. To access the hottest tables in town with a view of the century, go to www.skygrandeprix.sg/packages/.

For a mere SGD 2,888 your group of 12 will get to beat the queue and also enjoy several alcoholic beverages delivered right to your own little nook! Smaller tables are available too but hurry as numbers are limited and selling out fast!

What to Drink?

Mass events don't need to mean bad wine! If you are tired of drinking watered down versions of cheap vino at most parties, we will let you onto a little secret.

The Wine at Sky Grandé Prix will be served by Bottle XO who are specialists in the field and work with only select boutique European wineries.

Poggio Civetta Chianti , Ca di Alte Pinot Grigio and Ca di Alte Prosecco are some of the bottles that will make their way to your table; adding that extra bit of zing to an already spectacular series of nights.

For those of you who are attending the ‘Her Fabulousness’ event on Wednesday 14th September; 5 free drinks before 10pm and free flow of vodka cranberry and orange, until 12 midnight (for attending ladies only!) are also on offer!

What to View!

The race and the fireworks of course. A night of glamour, great music and the most fabulous sights of the fireworks awaits on Level 45 of the Singapore Land Tower. This year, the Sky Grandé Prix is being held at the newly renovated Empire & Skyline. The setting boasts a stunning 360-degree view of Marina Bay and Central Business District with an al fresco deck offering a panoramic scope of the FORMULA 1 track.  

Exclusively for Vanilla Luxury Readers: RSVP here for your complimentary entry to Sky Grande Prix worth SGD 108.
