This 3D animation was started back in 2007, a year before the inaugural 2008 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix was held. It was the first race to be held at night in F1's history, and the first F1 street race in Asia. It also depicts the then up and coming developments around the Marina Bay area, such as the Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay amongst many others. As these major developments were still underway back then in 2007, much effort has been put in to research on these developments, to accurately depict an exciting and breath-taking view of the Marina Bay area, and the future that is to come. The project took months to conduct the numerous site surveys and extensive research was done on the 150+ buildings in the Marina Bay area visible in the shots; to ensure the greatest accuracy of the maps, roads, infrastructure, buildings and terrains. A team of 15 animators and modellers then brought this animation to life.
