My first F1 live race - Singapore (21 Sep 12)

Last Friday, it was my first time watching the Formula One Night Race. Is also my first time watching a live F1 race. Thanks to Fiona (Shaan's wife), orelse I wouldn't have the chance to watch. Thanks to her ticket.
Behind me are the GP2 cars, they are one level below F1. So some of the F1 drivers are actually from this group before they have becoming famous.

We parked at Raffles Hotel so we have to walk for a super long distance to Singapore Flyer. Oh man! Luckily I am wearing flats, smart move.

Ah ha! Finally we are near to the Singapore Flyer. But wait..... We still have to walk further down to the Pit Stop. We are already sweating like nobody's business.

Yes lah!!! Here we are. Mr Lee said the club suites and paddock club are for the rich and famous. Because the ticket for the club suite is $7000/person for 3 days and $15000 for paddock club. CRAZY man! Luckily, we have free tickets orelse we wouldn't be here.



 Mr Lee's favourite F1 player, Fernando Alonso!
The 3 of us at the sky garden at Club Suite.

At the balcony of Club suite. We are opposite of the Pitstop. 

This is the club suite where we have our champagne, coke, dinner and dessert. Plus it is fully air-con!


A pic of the 3 of us before we left the suite. 


The car is too fast and my camera is too slow. End up the image becomes like this.
 One thing I like about F1 live race is I can hear the loud sound of these cars. Is an experience!

Finally, we have made our way to Jay Chou concert. We have walked for 1 hour 15 mins from the Pitstop to Padang. We couldn't see the stage because we are so far away. So only manage to see Jay Chou from the big screen. But better than nothing. The concert is awesome!





Not forgetting to take a pic of the expensive pass we have gotten. Thanks to Shaan and Fiona!

 Haha! The cannot make it grid girl.
 Woohoo! We are drivers.

Is an experience to watch the F1 race. Although I only have the chance to watch the practice, I am still enjoying (although the walking is killing me).

Hope I can the chance next year to watch again. :)
