                          Actually the price is not bad at all, compared to buying a SQ SIN-LHR return R class ticket.

                          But if I was such a big fan of driving exotic cars, I'd rather book the activity directly with Red Travel. 850 Euros per person for a 4 hour tour. http://www.red-travel.com/uk/ferrari...-programme.htm

                              I googled 'Red Travel' from the text quoted by 9V-JKL. The driving part of the SIN AA trip is organized by Red Travel.
