F1 Trials

Jon & decided to pop down to town to check out the F1 trials. The atmosphere was really good, and there were plenty of people milling about trying to catch a glimpse of the cars zipping by. The sounds of the engines were really great! SUPER loud, and very electric!










When I saw how fast the F1 cars went over the Anderson Bridge, that was when I really knew just how fast they went. Normally when I drive over, it takes one-thousand-two-thousand-three-thousand to cross. The F1 cars? One... That's it! I wasn't even able to reach "thousand"!












Anyway, like I said, everyone was trying to catch the action, and most were like us - without tickets :) Some ingenious people even brought ladders to climb up and have a clear view over the barriers! The organisers were putting up cloth to block the view of those outside, and while they were working we could still look into the Padang area and see cars zooming by. Then when they put up the last bit of cloth, the crowd spontaneously went "ooooiiiiiii", then everyone started laughing cos it was quite funny just how spontaneous everyone's reaction was, plus the same choice of "oi" :) Times like that give me a warm feeling of being part of the Singapore culture hahaha.

Anyway, having gone down to see the area the day before the race made watching the race on TV even more thrilling, for me at least :) The Singapore skyline really did look very very good on TV, and I think the publicity is great! Hope there'll be equally good, or better, race years ahead!
