First night race in Formula One history
|
Singapore is all set to host the first ever night race and Asia’s first street race in Formula One history from September 26–28, 2008. The vibrant atmosphere of the island nation is pushed one notch higher as the preparation for hosting this signature event gets into full swing.
Touted to be one of the biggest highlights in the race calendar, the 2008 Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix will be staged in the Marina Bay area, boasting a picturesque night cityscape of cosmopolitan Singapore. It is fitting that the race is held at night in a city that abounds with energy and vibrancy long after the sun has set. Held in the heart of the city, the 5.067km long street circuit will take you on a journey through Singapore’s culturally rich cityscape. The race machines will zoom past heritage icons such as the cast iron Anderson bridge, the colonial style former Supreme Court and Parliament House. It will also pass the Cenotaph at the War Memorial Park commemorating fallen heroes of World War II, then across the world-class Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, the distinctive Merlion, the 165m tall Singapore Flyer which is the world’s highest observation wheel and the upcoming Marina Bay Sands integrated resorts which is due to open at the end of 2009. Three day Grandstand passes start at S$248.
