Singapore’s inaugural F1 night race has seen more than 95 per cent of the tickets - priced at a minimum of S$38 each - being snapped up.
Tapping on the hype, events company Dragon Blaze is now offering a million-dollar package to watch the race, and some fans say it will be money well spent.
An interested bidder for the package, Catherine Kwok, said: "It is enjoyment and lifestyle, more than dollars and cents, and it is going to transport us to another world for a week. And everybody wants that in life at some stage."
For the amount paid, the successful bidder will be treated like royalty. For starters, the package comes with an exclusive use of a 150-foot super yacht during the week of the Singapore F1 race.
Executive director of Dragon Blaze, Dari Levy, said: "It will also include two passes to the Paddock Club... (for the) post Grand Prix, a luxury escape to the Bulgari Hotel in Bali - and that will have a private jet transfer to take the guests there and back to Singapore.
"We are also offering private jet transfer from anywhere in the world to Singapore for the Grand Prix."
The luxury yacht comes with a 12-man crew and there will even be entertainers onboard. The host can also invite up to 40 guests to try the ultimate luxury on the high seas.
And this is an offer that restaurant owner Ingrid Prasatya can use to her advantage.
Another interested bidder for the package, Prasatya, said: "To look at it from the business point of view, we can also offer a great package (with) a set-meal - a private event for the customers."
The organiser said the package is valued at S$4 million and is exclusive – the package will only be awarded to the first bidder. However, the organiser will be using the F1 experience to launch more of such luxury lifestyle packages.
