(GMM) The possibility of a grand prix in Singapore is revving up, with the southeast Asian country's government now admitting to 'actively looking at' a proposal to host a 2008 race.
Following the verbal interest of F1 power-players Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone, Singapore's minister for Trade and Industry told 'Today' newspaper that the government is contemplating allocating money for the project.
Lim Hng Kiang said: ''This is a very important proposition and we have to study the full impact and make a proper evaluation.''
He added that, in densely populated Singapore, allocating land for a F1 circuit is a 'very big decision', while a street track has also been mooted.
''It's not an easy evaluation to make,'' said the minister, undoubtedly mindful that South Africa, Mexico, Russia and India are also eyeing F1's calendar of the future.
Bugger....
Sure!!!
They are still considering A1 since last year, F1 is unlikely. Unless of course the multi-million dollar Integrated Resorts lose money. But they have to be built first!!!
That would be great for F1 in this part of the world. I wonder if they will drop another GP or simply add one? (My vote is for the latter).
They could fit it in between Belgium and Japan, or between Japan and China.
heheh yeah... the more, the merrier...
Make the season longer, so that I don't have to live without my 'fix' for so bloody long!
grrrrr
Only about 62 days to go. (I think)
whoa - as early as next year huh? Cool!!
Oh wait Next year means 2008!! that's still a fair wait - still Nite race - those buggers really want a piece of the cake huh!!
It's fine - I'll just make sure I'm on leave the day after!!!

HAHAHAHA
You guys are psychos!
Oh you knew that!! D'oh
My sentiments exactly!!!
D'oh D'oh D'oh D'oh!!!
I just found out that I will not be in the country in 2008!!! CRAP!!!
That means I'll have to fly back specifically to S'pore to watch it!!! Damn Life!!
For that reason only I shall jinx S'pore to fail in their attempt!!
hahahah You do know they run the races in other countries too right?
Ya but then I won't have the same fortune of going down in History. Attending the first Night Race ever!!!
AHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Now dek gets it....
(Sorry.... brain stopped working on Friday )

Oh wow..... I'm so jealous
and Webber was in Singapore on April 30 checking out the race track!!!
and I completely missed it!!!!
Well, he was in a normal car, so he would have been harder to spot
actually he was in a renault cabriolet with the top off - we'd have seen him!!
Total perve value!!
hehehehehe
Man, I totally would have staked out the area had I been there
Why i freaked out when i watched the news !!!
so close yet so far!!!!
NO WAY!!!!
They'll actually be driving over my favourite bridge!!!! GAHHHHHHhhhhhhh
He's so watchable... sigh!
Note to RUSKI - watch the clip just for a glimpse of the bridge!
Looks like a good circuit, but I imagine it will need a lot of lighting if a night race.
Yeah!
The roads there are good tho....
If the race ever happens there, I'll get to say this - I raced there first!
Bloody 'revhead' 
kekekeke
Hahaha!!! Funny dek!!!
Does it count if I saw i've jogged the circuit?
How does jogging equate to racing?!
If wpu can have a walking race, then surely you can have a jogging race??
No!!
I wanna be special!!
*throws racing tantrum*
hahaha, you girls will have to fight it out between yourselves. (sisterly love)
hahaha yeah.....
INO the more races, the longer the season, the better.
Couldn't have said it better Nuc!!
@ dek - yes yes - you are special. Go for it!!
I'm still going to jog the circuit!! Hehe
I had this grand plan of attending the F1 in Singapore....
Went to the site to buy tickets. The only ones available cost $1300++
That's more than the return flight to Singapore!
The organisers have been sneaky imo. Under the pretext of providing more seating, they've made more grandstands than general admission/walkabout spots, so they make more money that way.
aman and I are just gonna have to find a lookout point ourselves.
Hrrmph!
Bloody hell, $1300 bucks just to watch a race.... That's daylight night time robbery.
Exactly.... plain ridiculous.
Hopefully they have grounds passes or something that I can get. Won't be any where near the action, but I might be able to hear the engines.
I'm so sad...
Will just have to plan better for the AustGP
