  • Singapore F1 2012

    It's race day and no one has posted yet?

    Just about sums up my own waning interest in F1.

    Still, watched Senna on HBO last night and my adrenaline started pumping again

    The good old days had better racing

    OT counted 17 private jets as I taxied from F54 to 02C for take off so there still are people interested in F1

      Have you tried to get a hotel room in town this weekend (without a truckload of gold)? The tickets sell out quicker than most other F1 races. The contract has just been extended for another 5 years through to 2017 with one story mentioning that the fee has been held steady or even fallen a little. The other F1 venues would love to be in the same negotiating position with Bernie.

      The helicopter shots on TV last night looked fantastic and a great promotion for the city state.

        Loads for tomorrow for SIN-CGK in all three class cabins expected to be very high for all 8 flights. I'd estimate at least half those flights even completely sold out. Not your average Monday business traveler commuter traffic to CGK, in my opinion. I'm betting tons of Indonesians here for the race and going home on Monday on their favorite airline.

            It's natural that the novelty factor has worn off. Nonetheless it's still a huge money & PR machine.

                    I remembered few years back in KLIA , GA changed its A/C to 747 for these spectacular occasion.

                    Was in town on 21st , and the traffic is damn bad

                          The finish line would have to be no more than 100m from the start line or no one would finish within the standard two hour race

                            Pit stop, change tyres after 50m?
