A WEAKER global economy and slower economic growth at home hit ticket sales for the 2016 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, with 73,000 spectators attending the race daily.
"The overall ticket take-up is 15 per cent lower than the average attendance at the Circuit Park since the inaugural race," said race promoter Singapore GP.
