When Formula 1 was preparing for the first Singapore Grand Prix 16 years ago, many working within the sport were skeptical of its feasibility as a night race.
Singapore's successful integration of a night race format has significantly influenced other Formula 1 events, as many have adopted similar elements and draw inspiration from it.
Martin Whitaker stated that Singapore's event serves as a benchmark for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, emphasizing the respect and admiration many in F1 hold for the Singaporean event.
In 2008, Singapore began as one of two new F1 races, while the other, in Valencia, ultimately faded away, further underscoring Singapore's lasting impact on the sport.
