Vrooooom Vrooooom in Singapore Again

This weekend, the Lion City is abuzz again as the Singapore Grand Prix Formula One races are held here for the fourth time. The event is still unique in being the only night races in the world. For those who have never seen it, come next year around this time.

Here are some photos ...

Here's a good view of the Marina Bay Circuit, with some of Singapore's prominent architectural highlights in the backdrop.

Fig 3: Red Bull's car driven by Sebastian Vettel

There were also a lot of world-class artistes in Singapore and performing at associated events. Here's one star you might recognise ...


Fig 4: Can you name this hip-shaking babe?


The qualifying races were held tonight, and Sebastian Vettel (driving for Red Bull) made the fastest time.

Well, I'll try to post more details tomorrow when the finals take place. I don't claim to know a whole lot about Formula One racing (I know some of my friends are ... including a certain Mr Sia) but I will definitely be glued to the telly on Sunday night ...

Oh, I almost forgot. These are the Singtel Grid Girls for 2011 ...

Enjoy.

    As usual, not a very interesting race though DRS helped a bit to liven up things a bit.

    Charice is the Filipina singer with the super voice. Really powerful. Google her. Or find a Youtube video of her.

    Ya... the race is boring as is most of the races on this type of street cirrcuits. Luca de Montezemolo once called this GP a circus, totally agree with him.
