Arrian North and Esther Leong at the roadshow.
The new trophy was crafted by local designer Nathan Yong.
It resembles the interlocking branches and leaves of the laurel wreath, traditionally worn as a symbol of victory at sporting events in ancient Greece.
The circular shape of the trophy also represents Speed, Connection and Unity, symbolising the coming together of top international drivers in the Formula 1 races around the world.
The event was officiated by Mr S Iswaran, Minister in Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Home Affairs & Trade and Industry.
Ashvin Sandhu and Rebecca Ly Dia Dore, two of the top 8 finalists at the roadshow.
The highlight of the event was the unveiling of the top three 2012 SingTel Grid Girls.
Top Grid Girl in 2012 is 21-year-old Ashvin Sandhu.
This is the first time that the top three SingTel Grid Girls have been selected based purely on public SMS and online voting.
1st Runner-up Emily Chia
The top three girls, who were crowned at the event, will get to hold the Singapore, Formula One and Singapore GP flags at the Singapore Grand Prix this year.
The Top Grid Girl this year is 21-year old Ashvin Sandhu, an avid F1 fan who has watched almost every race over the past few years.
In second place is 21-year old Emily Chia, a lover of fast cars.
In third place is 23-year old Esther Leong who thrives on the adrenaline of the race and extreme sports.
In order to reach out to everyone in Singapore, including families, youths and people with special needs, SingTel invited students from APSN Tanglin School to experience the electric go-karts at the first roadshow in the series.

F1 excitement was also brought to the schools.
2nd Runner-up Esther Leong
Displaying finesse on the circuit, students from the “F1 in Schools” programme tried their hand at Singapore’s first ever electric go-kart experience in a bid to clock the fastest race time.
The “F1 in Schools” is an international competition where school children aged nine to 19 design, manufacture and race their miniature cars.
In another thrilling speed race but on a much smaller track, students put their self-made gas-powered miniature F1 cars to the test in an exciting time-based competition.
In addition, the public enjoyed their version of the “mini” race, setting off gas-powered miniature F1 cars in a bid to achieve the fastest possible reaction timings within 0.18 of a second to win attractive prizes.
If eyes could smile …
To encourage more people to embrace the F1 experience both on and off the track, SingTel and Singapore GP have launched two new applications, for iPhone and Android users, to be available on the App Store and Google Play.
If eyes could talk …
The SingTel application is a social app that acts as a guide to inform F1 fans of the exciting activities taking place this race season.
In addition, app users can share their favorite F1 moments, activities and photos with their friends.
The Singapore GP app is meant for serious F1 fans, and has the latest news on the 2012 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX.
It will keep users up to speed with the current driver and team standings, allowing them to take part in Singapore GP contests as well as purchase tickets to the night race.
