CIRCUIT HISTORY

[spoiler]In 2008 Singapore had the honour of hosting the first night-time event in Formula One history. The inaugural Singapore Grand Prix proved a huge hit, staged on a new street circuit, with the city's famous skyline providing a truly spectacular backdrop.

The race was announced in May 2007 following the agreement of a five-year deal between Formula One Management CEO Bernie Ecclestone, Singapore entrepreneur Mr Ong Beng Seng, and the Singapore Tourism Board.

It instantly established itself as one of the most dramatic and atmospheric races on the calendar. The timing of the event also means it can be broadcast at a convenient time for European television audiences as well as thrilling local fans.

Using public roads around the Marina Bay area, the circuit utilises powerful lighting systems to replicate daylight conditions and the most stringent safety protocols ensure driver and spectator safety.

Grandstand seating and hospitality areas lining the track can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators, while a permanent pit area with deluxe paddock facilities is located adjacent to the Singapore Flyer complex.

The event is more than just a motor race. "We envision it to be a national festival, and one that presents many opportunities for participation for everyone, both visitors and Singaporeans alike," said Singapore's Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Mr S Iswaran.

best street race on the calendar. Can't wait. Also the race which sort of gives me the first feeling of autumn (for some reason).

There are no major track changes I am aware of for this year. Hopefully they keep the kerbs like they were last year, let the drivers run all the way to the walls.

Didn't realise that chicane was called "Singapore Sling". That's actually pretty cool!

"1 light, 2 lights, 3 lights, 4 lights, 5 lights and when the lights go out we'll be RACI-oh"

Now that'd be legendary.

You mean James Allen returning to the commentary booth?

I knew you had a weird taste in presenters but this is now simply bizarre :p

James is a nice guy, he was one of the few people to actually talk to me :p Although I think he's better now than he was at ITV anyway!

Is there a race when it rains? I can imagine drivers will complain about visibility when it's rains with all those lights around the track.

There is no reason at all why the lights would cause problems with the rain. Sportscars have dealt with such a thing for decades.

But this is F1. Drivers can't be expected to deal with it :roll:

MotoGP cancelled a wet night race. Although logistically, they have to run it on Sunday.
