Circuit History

Singapore signed with Bernie Ecclestone in March 2007 for a five-year deal starting the following year, and set about something no Grand Prix had attempted: a race run entirely after dark. The circuit was laid through the streets around Marina Bay, with a 350-metre pit building constructed off Raffles Boulevard, and roughly 1,600 floodlights installed to light the lap to a standard that would satisfy television and the drivers.

The first race ran from 26 to 28 September 2008 and Fernando Alonso won it. The result later became notorious: his Renault team-mate Nelson Piquet Jr. had crashed deliberately to bring out the safety car at the moment that suited Alonso's strategy, a scandal that came out a year later and cost senior figures their careers. The night race itself was judged a success and has been copied since.
