Lesa Kennedy, a prominent NASCAR board member and vice chairwoman of the American series, is in the paddock this week-end.

Kennedy met with F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, sparking rumours NASCAR could be put on the bill for the 2012 United States grand prix in Austin.

She would also be securing a supply of ECUs with McLaren Electronic Systems. McLaren group chairman Ron Dennis is in Singapore as well this weekend.

Other notable dignitaries in Singapore are Dr Naviachandra Ramgoolam, the prime minister or Mauritius, and Jacques Regis, formerly the president of French motor racing authority FFSA.

Also spotted was Dmitry Kozak, Russia's deputy prime minister, who met with F1 chief executive Ecclestone.
