Event Information:

Singapore's third Night Race will be held in September 2010, in conjunction with a comprehensive 10-day entertainment schedule. Officially known as the Grand Prix Season Singapore 2010, the lead-up to the final race will include parties, race-themed events, music concerts, exhibitions and dining & shopping experiences. For the first time, Singapore is encouraging race enthusiasts to tweet from the race circuit and various GP Season events.

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. The race was won by Fernando Alonso driving for the Renault team, however that result has since been tarnished by controversy.
