Ok no prizes for guessing who will be sponsoring the race - the inaugural 2008 FORMULA 1™ SingTel Singapore Grand Prix is slated to debut on 28 September.
As Singapore is famous for coming in firsts..we are scoring a few for this upcoming race.
A proposed 5.067km long street circuit running through Marina Bay will be the first street race in Asia and subjected to final safety clearances, the race will be the first held at night in F1 history.
Before the freaking prices are listed, here's a few points to consider.
The roads will need to be probably resurfaced prior to the race, and a new 1.2km road that forms eastern section of the circuit will also be constructed alongside the pit building. Work on the pit building is scheduled to be completed by end May 2008. So get ready for lots of jam along the area and if you planning to have your weddings/company functions there during the period- DON'T!
Also expect more tourists in Sep, more road diversions, more road works...etc etc..
Come on, let's cooperate to help put our tiny island on the global map and let the world know we are not somewhere in China or Malaysia.
Ok, now if you have some spare cash to spend, the prices are as such...
Pit Grandstand - S$1,388
Turns 1, 2 and 3 Grandstands - S$1,388
Stamford Grandstand - S$998
Raffles Grandstand - S$698
Marina Grandstand - S$698
Esplanade Waterfront Grandstand - S$498
Bay Grandstand (Lower) - S$298
Bay Grandstand (Upper) - S$248
Walkabout - S$168
Now should I or should I not..
Yes I should..and I did...got myself and some friends some walkabout tics...it's night and no way I am going to be able to afford those tickets, unless I stop driving for 3months..and save on petrol!

hmm...maybe you can do what we intend to do..just wait and see if there are any complimentary tics and if nay..we could always hit the brew and watch from there..
Sure we may not be there to enjoy the atmosphere but we will escape from the jams, the human traffic, the obscene food/beer/whatever prices and a ton of nasties nasties..
Think its the company that makes it fun..and if we can rally a party at the brew..it is gonna rawk!!
Hot tip!
How to spend 1388 on F1

yo, let's go new asia bar. then from there, watch all the action down at street level with a glass in hand.
Wait. Anyone knows where the race queens are partying after the F1?
Good one Ed..
I will go find out where the race queens will be, if i get to see anyone of them during my walkabout..will chat them up and we will join them after the race.
But i think the easier way is to make frens with Hamilton and let everyone know where he is partying..
