After the successful staging of the Formula 1 race, Singapore is set to host a MotoGP race as early as 2011.

According to the Today newspaper, MotoGP boss Carmelo Ezpeleta has signed a deal with an unknown Singaporean company to stage one of the legs of the MotoGP championships in the city state.

Ezpeleta’s company, Dorna Sports, holds the commercial rights to MotoGP.

”Yes, I can confirm that we have signed an agreement with a promoter to stage a round of the motorbike world championships in Singapore,” Ezpeleta told the Today newspaper.

”But it depends when the permanent track you are going to build will be completed. I understand it will be up in three years’ time, so you can have a race there as early as 2011, if not 2012.”

In the pipeline, a permanent MotoGP track will be built in Changi, an area east of the island.
