Link here It seems both F1 and A1 are keen to have a race in Singapore, but an article here from an 'unnamed source' suggests that a F1 deal has already been done, and a night street race in Singapore could be on the calendar as early as next year...

A night race in Singapore would be nice for us European viewers, at least! |

A fight between F1 and A1. Whilst Bernie is in charge there is only one way that fight will go. |

If Sinapore does join the calendar next season and UAE join in 2009, does this mean that there is no limit of races in the new Concorde Agreement like there was a 16-race limit on the last one? I think all the teams are paid for each extra race over the 16 under the current agreement |

The current Concorde Agreement, I believe, states that Bernie has to pay the teams for any races additional to the mandated 17 (confusingly referred to, I believe, as sixteen-plus-one). I don't know what the new one states, but with Bernie wanting to expand the calendar I doubt if there will be a limit (or it could be higher, like 20). |

Bernie has said himself that he is aiming for a 20-race calendar. With the amount of cash in F1 at the moment, I'm not sure why teams need to be paid for those extra races. |

The teams habitually complain about there being too many races, but if F1 finally decides to ban mid-season testing and instead introduce Fridays as fan-friendly test days, it would make sense to have more races. |

Fridays are test days, just about, now anyway. |
