History

Historical Context

The inaugural Singapore Grand Prix on 28 September 2008 became Formula 1’s first night race, using a flood-lighting system of about 1,600 projectors and prompting a major infrastructure investment. Its success showed that street circuits could operate after dark, encouraging organizers of the new Miami Grand Prix to adopt similar lighting and safety standards.
