Singapore F1 Marina Bay Circuit - 3 corners named.

A contest "It's Your Turn" was held to get the public to suggest names for 3 of the corners of the Singapore F1 Marina Bay circuit. Judges had to pick the winning names from a total of 1440 entries.

Turn 1 of the Marina Bay street circuit after the start-finish straight has been named Sheares, after the Benjamin Sheares Bridge which runs over it.

Turn 7, the scene of many a thrilling overtaking manoeuvre near the War Memorial, will now be known as Memorial. Imagine you (the driver) being overtaken at this corner by your rival .... you can bet both drivers will remember that moment.

The tricky 10th corner has been christened Singapore Sling. Tackle this turn well and drivers will "slingshot" ahead of the chasing pack.
