F1 Practice Day 260908

Got 3 coporate walkabout tixs for F1 friday's session. So off we go, and we invited paul along...

Went straight after work, parked my car in Plaza Sing (expected congestion ard suntec area so gave up driving) and we took the train to city hall. God remembers when i last took the train, i dun think i tried the EZ link at all, well yesterday was the first. Was totally amazed that Dhoby Ghaut station has evolved so much.

Once at city hall, the whole ambience of racing was in the air. The roaring of the F1s, the noise, the commotion, the barricades, security, the crowd, the adrenaline.




The first sight that greeted us...




The Gates and the merchandise vendors...




An overview of the circuit's layout.




The Raffles Grandstand






They set up an ATM booth, Paul simply cannot belief it...


YX insisted we take a pic in front of the makeshift bridge.










One of the BMW F3 drivers...




















First crash of the night - webber



We stayed till the practice runs were almost over. To me, this was my first F1, it was quite a fulfiling experience. Besides the atrociously priced f & b, the way overpriced and not very nice merchandise... haha

I sure had a hard time loading these pics up.... ARGH... gotta respect the bloggers that consistantly load plenty of photos in every post.... *salute*
