Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix

Singapore Formula 1 Grand PrixThe Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix of the FIA Formula One World Championship is currently held in the Marina Bay area of Singapore. In 2008, the first race held at the Marina Bay location, was also Formula One's first night race and was won by Spanish driver Fernando Alonso driving for the Renault F1 team.

The first race held at the new Marina Bay Street Circuit was the 15th round of the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship, and was also the first night-time event in Formula One history. The timing of the night event meant that it could be broadcast live at a convenient time for European TV audiences. The track was also illuminated by a series of projectors which adapt their output to match the shape of the course.

For the 2009 race, the circuit will be reprofiled slightly, including modifications to turns 1, 2 and 3 to aid overtaking, and also at turn 10 where high curbs caused many accidents in 2008.
