2012 Formula One Singapore

Its the annual end of September post on Formula One! Was lucky enough to score tickets for 2 nights this year which meant that I could take my time to enjoy everything.


Food and Concerts were a big part of the programme this year, so I'll probably do separate posts on that.


Probably the most special thing about the tickets is the access to the pitlane. It was super crowded as usual. It's actually pretty cool being able to do the walk, but this being my third year attending, I didn't see the need to go twice. Hid upstairs gorging myself on food one of the nights instead.


The ladies from Ms Universe lead the pitlane walk every year. In the meantime they can be found at Jean Georges hanging out at a special reserved table, surrounded by just as good looking guys.


Simulator has been downsized from the full scale one. Still it makes an exciting drive and a humbling one especially for those who think race car driving is easy!


Oh did I forget to mention that there are actual fast cars? No panning shots this year because I decided to head over to the flyer to see if it was possible to watch the laps from there.


Yes, this year we went on the flyer at night instead. It was my first night ride, and I must say I was very impressed. It provides a really gorgeous view of the entire race. One of the capsules was booked by an alcohol beverage company (I forget which) and equipped with a bar inside, they went round and round the entire time without disembarking!


The night view of Singapore is really gorgeous. Do Singaporeans realise how beautiful it is? Something to be proud of.
