Singapore F1 Race Circuit for September 2008
Singapore F1 Race Circuit for September 2008
Let’s turn our attention away from the Olympics for a while and travel to another location in South East Asia for another occassion worthy of mention. This is Singapore. It’s first F1 Race will be held this year in September of 2008. Get your tickets now if you’re going. This race is a first in more ways than just the ordinary. As already mentioned:
- this is Singapore’s first F1 Race,
- it is held in a newly built area of Singapore’s downtown,
- and most uniquely, it’s F1′s first night time race.
Check out the video. You’ll see google earth’s rendition of the track in a very high tech and swanky part of town. Would you believe this is all reclaimed land right on the sea? Now Singapore boasts some of the most of many things:
- probably the world’s most high tech city,
- one of the world’s highest per capita income,
- most expensive place to buy a car,
- the most fines for anything,
- the most lightning strikes,
- one of the strictest places against illicit drug use/sale,
- incredibly strict firearm use and enforcement,
- the most soldiers per capita in the world,
- there are many more, but you get the picture and be on your best behaviour. It is a relatively mild city for travel safety. Just don’t get stupid.
Anyway, this is a mighty tourism spot including the new casino complex within the shot in the video. Once called the Pearl of the Orient, Singapore is known with the moniker of the Lion City – Singa = lion and Pura = city.
This is the capital of investment and tourism in South East Asia.
