Singapore Grand Prix

For the first time since the 70s, the F1 is coming back to SG! This time, it's going to be held at night! This is yet another first for SG, the world's 1ST NIGHT FORMULA 1 RACE! How's that for a 1st-loving SG?

Please pardon me for show-boating abit today but I'm really excited and proud to be one of the 1st in the world to watch the F1 cars in action at night. Thanks to my bro-in-law who mistakenly bought 3 Marina-Bay Grandstand tickets for his staffs. He handed me 3 Friday Passes and I went crazy. I've been waiting to see the F1 on TV and now I'm going to see it live!

I was in the underpass on my way to the Grandstand when I heard the cars already going at it. The engine sound is thunderous, yet to the thousands present (me inclusive), this is music to our ears.... Over at the Grandstand, I was fortunate to be able to grab a spot near one of the turns where the cars will have to slow down before exiting the Grandstand. Not only can you catch the cars in slower motion, but you will also be able to catch the 'aroma' of burnt rubber from the tyres. You may think that is crazy, but to me and many others too (I'm sure), what's a car race without having smelt burnt rubber?

Enjoy the following pictures taken by my pal CK....
