The Singapore Grand Prix, the first F1 race ever staged at night, will see changes in the circuit to encourage overtaking.

“Turns one, two and three – the chicane area – could be modified to open it up a little bit more,” event chairman Teo Hock Seng said. “And perhaps Stamford corner could be extended so that there is a little bit more access for overtaking.”

According to sportsbusiness.com, chairman Teo said that two further sections – at St Andrews Road and turn 22 – may have greater run-off areas to allow drivers passing opportunities.

The race attracted a sellout crowd of 100,000, half of whom were tourists.
