Singapore will host a Formula One race in 2008, a government minister said on Friday.

S. Iswaran, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, told a press briefing that a first race could be held in September or October next year and might be a night race.

A Formula One night race would be the first in the world, although several Grand Prix drivers have spoken against it, citing safety concerns.

Singapore wants to host the Formula One [FOON.UL] race to attract more tourists and raise its profile abroad.
