SingaporeGP 2008 @ Marina Bay Street Circuit** Warning: Long post of photos **
What a wonderful blessing that I get during the F1 season in Singapore for the past 3 days especially during work time as Traffic Marshals..
I must say that as a 1st timer watching F1 race, I am truly inspired by the teams, drivers and the F1 car itself, and the whole atmosphere as a whole, even though I really know nuts about the driver or team names.. And perhaps I can start to explore more about it over the internet to know more about everything in F1 race..
Day 1 (Friday): During the random pick by the manager, I get to stand under the shelter and shade at the floyer near Kallang Leisure park where the Paddock Club shuttle buses picking up area is.. Drivers of the shuttle buses were generally friendly, nice to crap and chat with..
Day 2 (Saturday): Stick back to the same place, same old bunch of nice drivers... After work, get to tour around the circuit area via Gate 1 thanks to 1 of the Kelly Services staff as he's also keen to go there but WALK all the way from Kallang Leisure Park..
Day 3 (Sunday): Last minute redeployment of manpower, I get to station outside the Paddock Club to direct the traffic and people, can see the race track but not that clear because of the barricade.. Managed to take the Paddock Club shuttle bus down instead of WALK all the way.. At the Overhead 2nd bridge area, 2 kind souls give me and my working friends 2 entry pass to pit grandstand area, where we can have a view of the pitstop too! After the race, people started to go down to the track area and do their stunts and take lots of photos! From 10pm take photo and walk walk until 11:30pm++ where I met Bing He and his friends to walk to City Hall MRT Station to take train back... On the way back, I wanted to buy the F1 programme booklet at the booth which cost $20, but thank God, the staff was not there, and I managed to take a copy for myself for free since nobody cares after that... Chaos all over the place... =D
Reached back home safe and sound at around 1:25am.. Slept at 3:30am and woke up at 7am next day which is today for school..
Shall let the photos do the talking!
First... Some post of myself at the circuit area..
At the starting/ending line of the race track..
Ready.. Get set.. GO!!!
Being inspired by a foreigner Ang Moh to do that which he did the same thing before I follow suit! Not easy to climb up ok? Haha..
Then, some shots around circuit area.. (Before going to Pit Grandstand area)
At the Pit Grandstand area..
After the 61 laps finished, everyone chionging and going to the circuit track as it's open to all of us to walk through and doing stunts and taking photos!!
This is the one which I pity the team because of the last 4th lap which it crashes... Noticed the right side of the car with no wheel..
The video man wants to flim the scene along the row where I am standing... Lolx..
Finally, on my way back home... Some bo liao self shots.. Shots taken after Marsling MRT Station whereby I am the only person left in the carriage that I am in..
