Singapore Grand Prix – The World’s Only Formula 1 Night Race

Singapore Grand Prix’s roots go as far back as 1961, when it was known as the Orient Year Grand Prix. A year later, it was named Malaysia Grand Prix, before being changed to Singapore Grand Prix in 1965 when the republic gained its independence. It was however discontinued from 1973 for a variety of reasons.
In November 2007, the Singapore telecommunications company, SingTel, announced its sponsorship of the event, leading to the first Formula One SingTel Singapore Grand Prix in 2008, resurrected after more than 30 decades of absence in the international motorsports arena.
The only Formula One race held at night, the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix will be the 14th race in the 2009 F1 season. Presenting a mixture of top music performances and enhanced on-track action, this year’s Singapore Grand Prix is set to be bigger and better than last year’s, with top international names in motorsports and music set to rock the Marina Bay Street Circuit from the 25th to the 27th of September.
Maximising on the entertainment value for fans of F1, the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix is bound to be an unforgettable occasion that is so much more than just another racing event.
