Promoted via a joint venture partnership with promoter Lushington Entertainments, the grand prix will feature 40 racers from 10 teams.
Adam Bailey, chief executive of SX Global, the promoter of WSX, said: “Singapore is a fantastic location for World Supercross Championship because it’s one of the world’s travel hubs and is central to huge masses of the population throughout Asia, and its National Stadium provides the ideal venue to stage a round of Championship racing.
“Within a three-hour flight of Singapore are the world’s largest motorcycle markets, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, making South-East Asia an extremely important region for the World Supercross Championship as we continue to expand our global footprint.
“Partnering with Lushington Entertainments is a huge opportunity for the Championship and for supercross as a whole. We are thrilled to be working with the same team that helms the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, the original night race that set the benchmark for combining on-track activity with world-class entertainment and music acts.
