It's pretty much a ghost town after the race finishes. Security's still around, of course, but the atmosphere is totally different. No crazy crowds, no roaring engines...just the echo of what was. I wouldn't expect any special events or tours open to the public though. Think deserted paddock, maybe some cleaning crews around. Your "eerie motorsport ghost town" image is pretty accurate, sadly. It's a shame really, because it would be amazing to have some sort of post-race access.

That's a cool idea! I've been to the Singapore F1 Pit Building a few times, and while I haven't seen obvious tire marks or graffiti, the place definitely has a lived-in feel. Think more subtle stuff – maybe slight discoloration on the floor in certain areas from years of oil and grime, or little wear-and-tear details on the equipment. It's not gonna be blatant, but if you look closely, I bet you'll find some cool little things that speak to its history. It's all about paying attention to the smaller details. Good luck with your search!
