Ah, it's the F1 weekend here in Singapore! What does this mean? Traffic jams and paying up to a months salary to see a car zip by in less time than it takes to blow your nose!
But really, it's quite fascinating and all, the technicalities behind the sport. I'm no F1 guru myself,; i'm just like most people who are intrigued by this multi-million dollar sport. If not for the fact that is such a 'divatastic' sport; drivers and teams throwing hissy fits every other time, i think F1 should be banned as a sport. It's just an excuse to ask for million dollar sponsorships if you ask me.
Well, our 'great' nation jumped onto this too because why? We don't want to lose out to Country X who actually has a proper racetrack... this is so... typical.
Well, i say for the next F1, but up ERP gantries along the course and let's see how much they chalk up in costs for 61 laps! ;)
Well said... gahmen only allowed F1 in sillypore for the same reason it allowed casinos to be built... revenue by way of tourism... the true spirit of the sport is lost as the powers that be milk it for all it's worth.. sponsorships, advertising, hotel bookings... and now there is going to be a dedicated race track in Changi..but not for F1.. maybe for all the rich blokes to go race their Ferraris and Porches on weekends...
