Richard Tan could well be talking for the entire Singapore business community as well as for the city itself when he reflects on how the race has afforded his company the opportunity to capture the world's attention.
Tan's Arina Hogan Builders was in 2008 charged with providing the temporary lighting structures that makes hosting the grand prix possible.
Like everyone else, Tan and his team obviously had no previous experience in putting together such a project, as there had never been a night-time Formula One race.
But the event's subsequent success has shown the world what is possible - and given Tan's company a profile right around the world. The lighting around the Marina Bay Street Circuit helps bring the grand prix to stunning life - lighting up the night and helping frame all the action for those in the stands and for those tuning in from all over the world.
Those involved with the race itself are most certainly impressed. 'The setting and atmosphere make it one of the jewels of the calendar,' is how McLaren F1 team principal Martin Whitmarsh describes the event - and Tan is justifiably proud of the contribution his team has made.
'The Singapore Grand Prix is a world-class event with all the right attractions,' says Tan. 'Being involved in the only Formula One night race has given Arina Hogan the required mileage and propelled our company on to the world stage.'
