First
organised in 1962 by the then Ministry of Culture, the Grand
Prix was first known as the Malaysia Grand Prix. It was one of
Singapore's major sporting attractions.
The name changed to Singapore Grand Prix in 1966 after Singapore
attained its independence.
The event was discontinued in 1972 due to the increase in
traffic and the inconvenience of having to close several roads
for it. A plan to relocate the circuit also fell through.
Finally, a fatal accident at the Grand Prix sealed its fate.
