The inaugural Singapore Grand Prix Formula One race came and gone on 28 Sept 08. It was definitely a success, thanks to Ferrari, Massa and the 2 crashes, which happened near to where i was seated. I was seated opposite the floating platform (which has been turned into a soccer field?!!). I was there since 3pm. I paid a visit to the Singapore Flyer (1st time) and visited my friend who was working at the flyer. Thereafter, I took a stroll around the cirucit park and had the famous Hong Lim Curry Chicken noodles at Marina Square Food court. Yum Yum. The race started punctually at 8 pm. The grandstands were crowded and there were many people taking photographs with DSLRs, including yours truly. Unfortunately, most of my photos turned out real bad and I did not have a clear view to take the photos.
We have to wait till next year to find out whether this year's success was a fluke. Will next year;s race be as exciting as this year? Can the nation's interest in the event last for 4 consecutive years? Can the organizer improve the event further and make it a bigger success? I am not sure whether I will watch the race next year. Maybe I shall work as a volunteer...But I will definitely go to watch the race once the Marina IR is completed. The night scene will be a beauty to behold and hopefully, my photography skills have improved.
