Singapore Grand Prix Route in Google Maps
SINGAPORE : Singapore will host its debut Formula One Grand Prix on a street circuit next year and the race may be the first held at night, officials announced on Friday.
The Republic will organise the first of five Grand Prix in either September or early October 2008, with an option to extend to 2017, Trade and Industry Minister S. Iswaran told a briefing.
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone said he was confident safety issues would be resolved to allow night-racing, a move designed to boost global TV ratings.
"Yes," he said via videolink from Barcelona, when asked if the Singapore Grand Prix would be a night event.
Iswaran said hosting an F1 race will bring Singapore closer to its ambition of becoming a "vibrant, global city," adding that the race is estimated to generate about S$100 million (US$66 million) a year in incremental receipts.
Last month Mokhzani announced that Malaysia had won the right to host Formula One races until 2015 <-----???
