# Singapore agrees new seven-year deal to remain on F1 calendar until 2028

Formula 1 will continue to race in Singapore until at least 2028 after announcing a new multi-year contract extension ahead of the event’s return this year.

The Marina Bay Circuit played host to F1’s first-ever night race back in 2008, instantly becoming one of the great attractions on the series’ calendar.

This year’s Singapore Grand Prix, which takes place on October 2, will be the first for three years due to the global pandemic preventing the event from going ahead.

The new agreement between F1 and Singapore includes the push for greater sustainability, with F1 aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030.

Both partiers are aligned in reducing the carbon footprint of the Singapore race, with initiatives such as an increase in recycling and use of more sustainable materials forming part of the new deal.

“I am delighted that Formula 1 will continue to race in Singapore for another seven years,” said F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali.

“The Marina Bay Street Circuit hosted the first night race in F1 history in 2008, and Singapore has continued to thrill fans, teams, and drivers ever since. Singapore holds a special place on the F1 calendar, and this extension is part of our long-term commitment to continue to grow the sport in Asia.”

Chairman of the Singapore Grand Prix Mr Ong Beng Seng believes the contract extension is a sign of Singapore’s commitment to continue building on the event’s success in the long term.

“We are very pleased that the night race will continue for seven more years,” he said. “After more than a decade of celebrating this spectacular event on the racing calendar, we are looking forward to building on its success and working with Formula 1 as well as its partners to take the night race to greater heights.

“We are delighted that this marquee event will demonstrate how Singapore is open for business.

“We look forward to welcoming both local and overseas fans and visitors to the Marina Bay Street Circuit once again.”
