Singapore Grand Prix

The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a street track with a difference. The F1 cars fly over bridges, pass under motorways and zoom along the bay front and all that under the black backdrop of the night’s sky with streets fully litup. Truly among the spectacular sights in Formula 1.



The Marina Bay Street Circuit was the loaction for Formula 1 inaugural night race in 2008.

The circuit was originally designed by the "F1 architect" Hermann Tilke. His original idea was modified by KBR Inc. The pit building sits next to the Singapore Flyer, Singapore’s equivalent to the London Eye. The track winds around real city roads.

Fernando Alonso won the first edition of the grand prix, driving for the Renault F1 team.

To commemorate Singapore’s first-ever Formula One Race as well as Formula One's first night race in 2008, Singapore Post issued two stamps featuring the thumbnail drawing of race car against the Singapore skyline.
