SINGAPORE: The no-go for Singapore's Motorsports Hub spells a loss to the motorsports community.
The Singapore Sports Council said on Wednesday it will not proceed with the re-tender for the site in Changi.
The announcement comes at a time when the motorsports community has seen its members grow in recent years.
But they fear the loss of the project would mean less interest in the sport in Singapore.
Currently, there are only go-kart facilities in Singapore, but these cannot accommodate motor racing.
Without a proper motor racing site, racers would have to head overseas.
This could also mean losing the chance to groom local talents.
Paul Lee, team boss and coach at AutoInc Racing, said: "It is a platform for our guys to graduate from karting into the motor-car track and do formula races. Without the Motorsports Hub, I think it'll be a bit difficult for our local guys because they have to go overseas and it's very expensive to do that."
