F1 in singapore

We think that the building of F1 track in singapore is beneficial to singapore economic.F1 brings in big money for car manufacturers and their host countries. The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has been actively looking at the development of a motorsports event in Singapore. As part of this effort, STB has engaged in various dialogues with experts in the motor-racing industry and motorsports associations, on the feasibility, the scope and the potential of hosting such motorsports events here that would be consistent with our profile as an exciting destination. After all, Formula 1 is estimated to draw in the biggest viewership figures after the football World Cup, the Euro football championships and the Olympics.The plus point is that F1 is not held once every four years, but takes place every fortnight and now has 19 races on its annual calendar.Let's hope more parties will rev alongside the STB as it looks at how Formula One can be brought to Singapore.
