More shots of the Singapore F1 GP track/ grandstand

Each day is a buzz of activity to complete the logistics of organising the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix, which is being held next week.


View while on the track between the Old Supreme Court and the Padang.


View of the grandstand towards Marina Bay area.


Close up view of the same.

I wonder how it can all be completed within 1 week, i feel the heat for them. I definately do.

Lights, Cameras, action COMING REAL SOON


The view of the turn that takes traffic infront of the old supreme court and the Padang. At the heart of colonial Singapore's social scene, this year, it is one of the locations that plays host to the SG F1 GP.



The eye in the sky; Big Brother watches over you, to keep the peace and you safe, obviously.



Fencing is lined up against the road for erection.



Concrete bases are stored along the road too, together with the crane that takes personnel up to the lighting racks to set up the lighting.



Everywhere else, fencing keep people within the viewing area and others, outside.


The view along a section of the track by day.




And by night...

Checking out the pit

After a needless day of toil at the office, i took a little trip down to the site of the future F1 pit. By chance, it appeared that there was a racing/ motorsports themed even being held in the vacinity of the f1 pits and the Singapore flyer. For F1 fans out of the country, here'a a first look at the fixtures, pit lane and garage where the action will take place! Right underneathe the world's largest spoked bicycle wheel!
