[title]September in Singapore means one thing: the season of speed is here. This year, the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix is set to whizz through the Marina Bay Street Circuit from September 20 to 22. But before the engines fire up, experience excitement at every turn with the Grand Prix Season Singapore (GPSS) from September 13 to 22 – that’s 10 days of non-stop race-themed festivities that will keep the adrenaline pumping.
A key highlight of GPSS is the Street Style Speedway, a high-octane celebration of racing and street culture that's set to ignite CQ @ Clarke Quay (CQ). This cool collaboration between CQ and Culture Cartel, promises 10 days of live art, dazzling light displays, exclusive streetwear merchandise from Limited Edt, and a pop-up bar by Zouk.

Cars being turned into artworks
Say goodbye to plain, monochromatic cars – CArt Showcase is redefining what it means to ride in style. By day, Alvin Phunk – celebrated for his bold and vibrant designs – will transform Mercedes Benz rides with stunning car wraps. And when night falls, Race Krehel (aka SuperCyberTown) – known for futuristic aesthetics that push the boundaries of creativity – will take things up a notch by illuminating the cars with projection mappings, lighting up the scene in a brilliant fusion of art and technology.
At Fountain Square, from noon daily. 7.30pm till 11pm for car projection mappings.
An F1-inspired streetwear pop-up store
Match the cool factor of a supercar with fresh streetwear finds from the Limited Edt x Culture Cartel Fashion Apparel Retail Store. Sneakerheads know that Limited Edt is the go-to for exclusive drops, and this collaboration with Culture Cartel is no exception. They're bringing an exclusive F1-inspired collection that's sure to turn heads – think footwear, limited-edition caps, waist bags, and more from brands like Puma, CHAMBER, Rhude, and Martine Rose. Keep your eyes peeled for exclusive F1 merchandise featured by Red Bull, Ducati, McLaren, and more too. And here’s the kicker: spend at least $150 at any CQ outlet (excluding supermarket) and unlock a 10 percent discount at this limited-time pop-up.
