As part of the festivities leading up to the much-anticipated Formula One (F1) night race in Singapore, a series of F1-themed activities will be put together over three weekends (September 20 to October 5) to get fans and tourists revved up for the big race.

Called the Singapore GP Season, the main highlight is expected to be the Singapore River Festival which will feature performances from renowned artists such as Paul Anka and Jive Talking. There will also be the Singapore Beer Festival (October 2 to 5) with more than 300 beer brands from all over the world expected to participate.

For those hoping to catch a glimpse of last year's Formula One champion Kimi Raikkonen, he will be making a guest appearance at the Tag Heuer "Racing Legends of Our Time" exhibition (September 19 to 29). F1 fans can also get a chance to see an actual-size replica of the ING Renault F1 racing car at the team pavilion showcase over at the Singapore Marriott Hotel in town.

This being all about fast cars and cutting-edge automobile technology, there's also the Singapore Motorshow which will be held at the Singapore Expo from September 26 to October 5.

Other events lined up in the Singapore GP Season calendar include the Amber Lounge Party, Opera Gallery's Master's Formula, Bulgari Watch Exhibition and a live concert by Diana Krall to add some high notes to the race.

It'll be good to plan ahead if you're going to be in town the next few weeks for the F1 night race.
