Since 2008, Formula 1 has been looking for new “destination cities” to extend itsglobal presence. The main aim has been to introduceraces in countries that have never competed in the sport before. With the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, this project began.
The 2008 Singapore Grand Prixwas a Formula One race held at the newly constructed Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore on September 28, 2008. It was the fifteenth race of the 2008 Formula One season, the 800th race in the overall Formula One World Championship and the first Formula One race to take place at night. The last Singapore Grand Prix was a Formula Libre event in 1973, so this was the first time the country hosted a Formula One race.
In 2019, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix took place, with theKorean Grand Prixfrom 2010 to 2013. The Indian Grand Prix was held from 2011 to 2013 as well but both were discontinued. The championships have continued in Russia, Azerbaijan, and Saudi Arabia.
