Fond Memories of Singapore F1 - Ruby Tuesday

Singapore F1 Night Race is over..... it was a great success! The teams are packing up and going home. I was not excited before the race but now I'm looking forward to it next year. :)

Memories are made of these.....

The tears of Alonso when he heard his National Anthem being played.

I feel so sorry for Massa who fell from pole position to the back seat.

Ferrari team practising at their garage....

From my seat, I could enjoy my dinner and red wine, watched the race cars speed by and hear the screeching tires! Ahhh... a taste of the high life of the wealthy and powerful....

Tickets were fully sold out for the race!


A chance to observe all the F1 teams working behind the scene.


A walk along the pit lane and race track with VIPs....


Our lovely Nominated MP Eunice Olsen in a sexy black dress and red high-heels!



40 pieces of Bak2u anti-theft software for mobile phone and laptop to be won!

  1. It sounds like a memorable event to catch.

    I feel tempted to ask you how much it would cost to get access to the tickets that you have got, i.e. the seats whereby you can get red wine (not that I drink it) and dinner while watching the race. It seems a privilege, maybe money can't buy.

    If it's confidential, then there's no need to disclose.

  2. oceanskies,
    I was told S$7,500 per person (3-day). :P

    But my ticket was special, not for sale. I wasn't interested but for the sake of blogging the event, I went and I enjoyed myself.

    Fine dining and great wines but I was too tired to eat. Now I regret. hehe....

    The experience was extra-ordinary. I saw lots... not supposed to tell.

  17. Kok,
    Some of my friends have been going to Malaysia's F1 for years. They asked me to go along but I wasn't interested. Now that F1 is at my doorstep, I'm going to support it.

    You should write to F1 in Malaysia and ask for free ticket. :P

  18. Hi ECL, it looks like a fun day at the races!

    I am afraid that I would be watching those pretty red high heeled shoes too much and miss the race! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Jeanne,
    Try watching it once or twice or thrice... hehe...

    I had to force myself to watch it (because I wanted to blog about it) before I like it. :)

  25. Jim,
    haha... those red high heels and the bare back of a sexy lady do give a man reasons to not watch the race!

    ReplyDelete

    You're right!
    It's an auspicious colour for the Chinese too. :)

  35. I suppose the windows were closed, because Mr. Gattino attended "life" once the Formula 1 in Belgium and said "never again" because you only see a shadow flying by and have to put earplugs in your ears because of the noise. Now he prefers to watch on his sofa, lol !

    ReplyDelete
  36. Never been to a real F1 event like this...just get to watch it on TV. Must be an exciting experience up so close on the pit...

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm sure it's a wonderful experience for you. I'm still sad Ferrari didn't get to win. I'm not a fan of Alonso. Well, better luck next time.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I looks like it was a great race what I saw of it on tv.. and Hamilton extended his lead!

    ReplyDelete
  39. More great photos! :-)
    Happy WW!

  42. ecl,

    Thanks for ur kind invite. B4 I go to Sg each time, I had to lose 10kg first. We eat our way from stall to stall .. haha.

    Yes, the race was awesome ! I like ur idea of a room with a view - champagne n hunks on each arm - what could be closer to an evening of paradise than that eh :-P ?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Best race ever. I was so looking forward to watching this one, and it didn't disappoint me at all. And what a beautiful scenery, with the tool buildings in the back!

    Just fantastic.
