Singapore Formula One Grand Prix 2008


Singapore famous for its thematic and vibrant stamps issued a commemorative stamp in 2008 to celebrate their first Formula One Grand prix. This issue has many reasons to celebrate.....many firsts..Singapore’s first-ever Formula One Race, the first night race in F1’s history, and Asia’s first street race. It is the 15th race of the 2008 season and also the 800th Formula One Grand Prix. This inaugural night race was won by Spanish driver Fernando Alonso racing for the French Renault F1 team. The issue has 2 stamps both containing a drawing of a race car , one having Singapore CBD as the background and having the chequered flag in the background. This is also my first Formula One related Stamp ( any stamp ) to be bought on-line.
