New F1 venue set to get the green lightHot 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.
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.
