The Singapore Grand Prix heralded the inaugural F1 night race and the first street circuit in Asia. Taking place this year from 20-22 September 2013, 22 of the world's best drivers led by Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton will battle it out once more in the adrenalin-pumping night circuit.
Here are 3 things you need to know about the Singapore Grand Prix.
(1) Did you know how the Singapore Grand Prix started?
Bearing its origins as far back as 1961, the Singapore Grand Prix relaunched as the Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix in 2008 heralded the inaugural F1 night race and the first street circuit in Asia. The winner in this first F1 night race was Spaniard Fernando Alonso driving for the Renault team.
(2) Before and after the Singapore Grand Prix, where to go and experience great views, drinks, food in Singapore?
Singapore is home to a number of iconic buildings and places to explore (like the Marina Bay Sands). Home to a melting pot of culture, this city island provides visitors to the Singapore Grand Prix with endless possibilities to experience great food and drink amidst memorable surroundings and ambience, before or after the races.
