Palawan Green, Sentosa - After the storming success of last year's inaugural one-weekend affair, organiser 2+1 Concepts brings Sprint Fest back in 2024 with a four-day family-friendly motorsports extravaganza at the Palawan Green on Sentosa, spread across the consecutive weekends of 27-28 July and 3-4 August.
Entry to the event is free, but naturally you'll still need to make your way into Sentosa.
The gnarly motorsports action comes courtesy of Rounds 1 and 2 of the Motor Sports Singapore's National Auto Gymkhana Championships, as well as a National Driver Selection Race.

In particular, Round 2 will feature a spectacular night stage, where the Palawan Green will be illuminated for the racers to compete under the stars.
You don't have to be there just to spectate either, because you can register for one of the limited paid slots to drive your own car in the Auto Gymkhana Open Practice Session, which uses the same MSS layouts the racers will tackle.

JDM enthusiasts can check out the JDM Underground Car Meet on 27 July, while classic car aficionados have the morning of 4 August to marvel at the exquisitely restored collectibles during the Classic Car Meet.
Apart from the live action racing, drift demos and taxi-rides, there will be Sim Racing rigs by Sim Fai, Mini-Z racing tracks, good food and great live-music beats from the vendors, so it promises to engage the entire family for a weekend of fun and grassroots motorsports.
“Sprint Fest has quickly grown into a celebration of grassroots motorsports and community spirit. We are so excited to expand to two weekends this year, providing more opportunities for families and enthusiasts to enjoy the thrill of auto gymkhana and classic car meets,” expressed Mr. Glenn Lum, Co- Founder of 2+1 Concepts.
Lum added, “While the 2004 Suzuki Ignis Sports is still a work in progress, it holds a special place in motorsport history. We are honoured to showcase it at Sprint Fest 2024, reflecting our commitment to preserving automotive heritage and adding a unique dimension to this year's event.”
