An unfortunate circumstance of bringing a camera to the F1 races was that i spent more time trying to get a good shot as opposed to relaxing, and wathing the race. Often times, It was too crowded to get a good angle too. But i still had a blast there. Now i need to catch a repeated telecast on TV.

In my posting videos, i hoped to bring fans closer to the event.
However, i neglected to check what quality setting my camera was set to and only realised it was on the lowest quality setting after. i could really kill mself. Hope you have fun looking at grainy video.


Spectators were allowed onto the track right after the qualifiers concluded. Seems like an odd practice, contrary to safety concerns that are ever so present these days.



The Marina Bay Grandstands was the only section where the F1 cars drove under any seating structures. At the lower deck, i was able to get a different view of the action, with the noise at a deafening volume in the confined area.



Grainy view from the track. Apologise for the video quality setting.


Prior to the F1 qualifiers, Porches had a go on the track.

Journey to Plentong

Plentong is an area that lies to the east of Johore Bahru city. Renouned as an industrial / residential area, it now boasts 1 new attraction on its calling card. Permas Jaya's loss of Permaskart is Plentong's gain but the trip there is certainly a bane. tucked deep within the verdant foilage of a palm oil plantation, the track through the plantation to reach the kart track is trying. One can travel at a maximum speed of 40, perhaps 50 km/h and a downpour could do real damage to the gravel topped track. Cows are known to frequent the area and hang around in menacing gangs by amd also on the road. Amongst the sineous growth of opportunistic trees, we can find derelict wrecks of cars that did not complete the trip.

This excellent site has detailed directions to PLENTONG GO KART TRACK!!
