The Singapore FF2M Prix uniquely took place on New Years Eve, regardless of the day, and was then retroactively renamed the Singapore Special. The additional sprint races from the 2006-07 season onwards would take place on New Years Day. This trait would continue until the end of the 2009-10 season when the Singapore FF2M Prix was subsequently removed from the calendar before being revived for the 2017-18 FFeM Season.
