Iceman, Muah Chee & I have been waiting for this weekend since Feb.  The very first night race in F1 history.  Here’re some photos to mark the event!

Many local names set up shop at the race village – Old Chang Kee, Breadtalk, Din Tai Fung, etc.

 

 

 

P1010542

The race merchandise were expensive!  Iceman’s BMW t-shirt cost $100!  The BAD thing is… there were several merchandise booths around… and the one near City Hall MRT sold the same shirt for $130.  I think someone made a mistake somewhere ‘cos all the prices were handwritten on paper & stapled to the shirts.  Tsk tsk.

There were other races held before the actual F1 event… Aston Martin, Porche and Formula BMW.  This is a BMW race car.  (Look like a vintage F1 car… haha).

Lots and lots of tyres were used this weekend… haha.

Advice for people going for future races?  Please wear sensible footwear.  There’re sections of ground that are uneven, muddy and gravelly.  Stilettos are really not advisable.  (You should’ve seen this girl struggle).
