F1 could see it’s last night race in Singapore next year after it has been revealed that no contract has been drawn up to continue the event after it’s current deal ends in 2012.
Next year will see the countries fifth, and possibly final, race after Singapore’s trade and industry minister, Teo Ser Luck told local paper, Today, that “although negotiations are on-going, it’s more important to see if the F1 races have met our objectives and truly brought value to Singapore.”
“[The race] has brought value to Singapore in the motor sports scene. But the considerations have to be more than that.
“So whether it is economic or social, we have to examine each of the factors, which is the stage where we are at now,” the minister added.
It is more than likely a new deal will be reached, but it is widely believed that it will be a short-term deal, allowing the country to continually assess the viability of the race.
