Singapore will host the world's first Formula 1™ night race on 28 Sep 2008. The inaugural 2008 Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix™ will roar into town on a street circuit of public roads around the Marina Bay area - right in the heart of Singapore. Set against the backdrop of downtown Singapore, spectators will get a view of the garden city as the circuit winds past historic landmarks such as City Hall and modern buildings along the Marina Bay, such as the Esplanade.

The Race is most unique in a way that it enjoys so many firsts - it is the first ever Formula 1™ night race, Asia's first Formula 1™ street race and Singapore's first Formula 1™ race. In addition, it is one of three circuits in the 2008 Formula 1™ calendar that turns anti-clockwise. This set of stamps commemorates this significant milestone in Singapore's sporting history.
