By Leonard Lim

THE SingTel Singapore Grand Prix celebrated yet another success on Tuesday, with the event and the Marina Bay circuit winning the title of world-wide Motor Sport Facility of the Year.

The first-ever floodlit night race venue in F1 history won the accolade at the Professional Motor Sport World annual awards ceremony in Cologne on Tuesday.

The 5.067km circuit was commended for the revolutionary track lighting and the spectacular way in which it weaves the track through the heart of the city.

The other candidates were the European Grand Prix venue at Valencia in Spain, the new Toyota Racing Development chassis engineering building in Cologne and a new start-of-the-art motor racing facility at Sturup in Sweden.
