Singapore Grand Prix

[Easy 10]

September 28th
Brand new STREET circuit
And for the first time ever, an F1 Grand Prix is taking place in the host country at NIGHT.

I think thats rather exciting.

 

[Scotty Mac]

wont it be a bit dangerous racing in the dark?

 

[clippedgull]

At night!

I guess they are going to upgrade the street lighting rather than have headlights on the F1 Cars

 

[Motogull]

Watch BBC3 tonight to see how the 2-wheelers fare. Just watched the 125s on bbci and have to say it I think it works. If it were to piss down though...

 

[Marc]

I know enough to realise that cars driving in a circle for two hours is BORING

Last seasons F1 was QUALLA (first time in a few years though, I grant you).
Bangers is alright for novelty value occasionally, but its got all the skill factor of an egg & spoon race.

You bastard. The egg & spoon race is the only competition I've ever won. My mum assured me it was a real sport

[RM-Taylor]

The FIA also want the Australian grand prix to be hosted at night (day time for Europe) so they can get more viewers.

But I for one will be up at 4.30AM on Sat night/Sun morning

 

[Basil Fawlty]

That is going to be fantastic, but bloody dangerous through.

 

[ali jenkins]

It will be FLOODLIT, like the FOOTER

 

[swindonseagull]

Do you think you will be able to secure a drive at such short notice?

 

[Wozza]

They should turn off the floodlights intermittently - just to make it more exciting, like.

Is it not the same circuit the F3000's go wizzing around on.
If so, a newbie might just turn over, the old guard.

Dunno, but if you go to the Singapore GP website (googled it last night, can't be bothered to now), there's a link there that takes you to Google Earth, and that in turn then gives you a "virtual tour" of the route through the streets.

Well worth a sniff.
