Site of F1's first-ever night race in 2008

The Singapore Grand Prix is traditionally the only full-on night race on
the F1 schedule

This street circuit is located in Singapore's harbor area on the shores
of the titular Marina Bay. The track runs near the famous Singapore
Flyer, a giant permanent ferris wheel that was until 2014 the largest in
the world.

Scene of the infamous Renault "crashgate" controversy during the 2008
inaugral race where the team had Nelson Piquet, Jr. crash on purpose to
help teammate Fernando Alonso win.

All the F1 races run here have been night races but when GP2 ran here as
an undercard race they ran on this track during the day instead.

If this race continues beyond 2021 there will be a change in the
circuit's current layout. The so called floating arena section of Turns
16, 17, 18, and 19 will be closed next year for construction of the NS
Square to be completed by 2025. It contains a grandstand that since
approximately 27,000 people. The current plan is the track from turn 14
to what is now turn 20 will be an additional long straight and will
reduce the circuit's current corners from 23 to 18.

From Thomas Maher:

The #SingaporeGP has been cancelled. Citing the inability to actually
get on with construction of necessary infrastructure due to local
restrictions, the #F1 race will not take place this year.
