Singapore set for 2008 night race - report
Posted 03 March 2007 at 14:13 GMT
Hot on the heels of South Africa's re-emergence on the Formula One
radar, it is being reported that Singapore is set to join the
annual calendar as early as 2008.
The newspaper Today quoted a 'source' who confirmed that the
project, with government support, could be given the green light
next week for an April or August date.
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone is expected to travel to the island
city-state, located in south east Asia, later this month.
"I can confirm that Singapore is on the calendar next year and it
could either be the third race of the season, or towards the end of
the season in August," the anonymous source said, explaining that
he is bound by non-disclosure rules.
'Today' claims that the Singapore grand prix will be F1's first
ever night race, on a city circuit.
