SINGAPORE \u2013 The annual Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix is not only a feast of speed and excitement, but also a gathering of local and foreign stars.<\/p>\n
Among them was home-grown actor Desmond Tan, who met Singaporean singer JJ Lin at the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll smiles during my first F1 pit lane experience,\u201d Tan wrote on social media early on Oct 5, sharing a video of his experience. \u201cI smiled until my mouth went numb.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old posted again later that day. \u201cAs an F1 fan, this is the ultimate dream,\u201d the Strike Gold (2023) actor wrote. \u201cWalking the pit lane and the Walk of Fame… These were the moments I always watched on my screen and fantasised about.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Local actor Chase Tan, 35, started his F1 weekend strong on Oct 3.<\/p>\n
\u201cMet (Finnish racing driver Valtteri) Bottas, got my first taste of the Paddock Club life, and then capped it off with (K-pop\u2019s) G-Dragon in concert,\u201d the 128 Circle (2019 to present) actor wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s just Day 1. Two more days to go and I\u2019m already running on pure adrenaline.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Malaysian actress-host Juin Teh and actor Zhang Zetong were also zipping about.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst time experiencing #F1singapore up close like this,\u201d Teh, 35, wrote on Oct 4. \u201cI thought it was just a grandstand box seat. Never imagined it\u2019d be this breathtakingly close. Next up is probably getting behind the wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teh, a host of online variety show\u00a0#JustSwipeLah, added: \u201cHaha, just kidding. But seriously, what an incredible night.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Zhang, 32, who was with actress Sheryl Ang in one of the photos, wrote on Oct 4: \u201cCould not have asked for a better experience watching F1 for the first time. Unblocked view from our sky suites with free-flow food and drinks, topped with Paddock Club access.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA pity I didn\u2019t get to bump into any drivers, but I saw James Vowles,\u201d the winner of\u00a0Star Search 2019 added, referring to the team principal of Williams Racing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Foreign stars who have been spotted at the race include South Korean actors Hyun Bin and Lee Jung-jae, Taiwanese actors Chen Bo-lin and Cheryl Yang as well as Hong Kong model Gaile Lok.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs anticipation builds for the Singapore Grand Prix, a special encounter took place at\u00a0#CasaFerrari,\u201d read the caption. \u201cA moment celebrating a shared passion for racing and the Prancing Horse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chinese actor Dylan Wang and Thai singer Lisa of K-pop girl group Blackpink are also said to be in town for the event.<\/p>\n
