Singapore Formula One Night Race
I really started to not believe in planning..
coz everytime we planned for something, it always don't follow.
S'pore is holding the first F1
nite race around City Hall and Raffles Place area... thus its impossible to go into Town.. so we planned to skip town area and go
ECP for blading...
However, last minute turned out, we received a call from
liang when we are about to embark on the journey to
ecp... he cant made it to F1 that
nite and he got 2 tickets... thus began my
nite to F1...
It was really an experience, can be
separated into 3 sections (preparation, actual and after)... as the tickets were damn ex and damn hard to get.. plus
liang seats was at the grandstand area...
Preparation was on finding a good location for parking so as to avoid the major jam / crowd after the event..
Actual was it was a street circuit.. so we need to walk.. I was in my blading attire so
abit out of outfit especially the feet portion.. we reached
abt 6pm where the crowd are already starting to stroll in.. found our seats but left it later by embarking on our trip.. we first walked from the grandstand area (marina bay) to the
flyer.. walked back for the F1 practice session then walked from grandstand to
padang then back again for the qualifying session at 10pm..
There was
tremendous human jam, the entire
esplanade area was sealed off and only people who had purchased F1 tickets were allowed to enter. Its really a rich man event as you see people drinking wine, beer, clubbing, sitting on the grass at
padang, buying the expensive
merchandise etc etc... foreigners from all over the world, holding their country flags, hoping to catch a glimpse of the F1 cars..
After was the traffic control when the event ended, don't forget you that the roads were sealed so traffic in this case is HUMAN... squeezing to the
mrt station..
But its was really really a damn good experience, watching Live the race, hearing the loud engine (ya u really need ear plug), seeing the cars hit the railing
in front of you, different cars (
Porsche,
Aston martini etc etc)..
Okie, enough of my
whining.. here are the pictures i captured with my diamond.. resolution so so as its was so last minute that we have no time to go back home to take camera.
Hehe.. i really dunno what are these cars...really not my area.. but at least i can recognise
Porsche
Lamborghini.. saw 2 rows of it outside Mandarin Oriental Hotel
~~the wheels look big
