Singapore will host one leg of the Formula One Grand Prix from 2008.
The SG government's earlier announcement of its intention to host the race was met with strong opposition from the Malaysian side as they are already hosting one leg of the event. Mixed responses were received from teams and drivers regarding the safety of the race.
The circuit will go through Singapore 's streets in the Marina Bay area and will give everyone a glimpse of the Esplanade, Singapore Flyer, Fullerton Hotel, Merlion, Supreme Court, Saint Andrew's Cathedral, War Memorial Park
So what do you think of a 300 km per hour night racing in the streets of Singapore?

wow, that's great.but would it be safe?
very neat blog. exchange links?
Singapore's first F1 race promises to be an exciting night race. And there are cheers from every corney of the city-state. Everywhere I turn, everyone's excited about the news...
Hold on... I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but there's no point to zoom into conclusion that it is a success from a sporting standpoint because safety remains an issue with night racing. I don't want to see my favorite driver lose his life just for a night spectacle.
It's difficult enough to keep up with the 22 drivers on a racing track in mid day... let alone with floodlights? Two-time world champion, Fernando Alonso, didn't believe floodlights will ever be enough to make night racing safe, so why isn't anybody listening? Must we have another Ayrton Senna-style death before we put safety back into the priority instead of looking for a novel way to make money?
Get excited with the prospect of the first Singapore GP, but I mourn the arrival of night racing, as an F1 purist and enthusiast.

I owe you an apology my friend. I don't know what exactly happened. All I did was try to post a comment on the MyBlogLog train. When I checked, I noticed that 3 comments (of the same nature) were posted. Again, my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.
No worries.... I don't see any triplicate comments anywhere!
