I attended the Singapore Formula One Grand Prix race tonight… it was the world’s first F1 night race. I expected to have an okay time, but my expectations were easily exceeded. Even after watching 61 laps I still found myself amazed at the raw speed. And the sound was almost deafening. Thank goodness for earplugs.
Overall, a big step-up from the Montana demolition derby. Previously, I believe that was the extent of my car racing attendance.
Plus, I liked the event even more because I was invited to one of the corporate suites. It was nice to take occasional breaks to grab a snack or enjoy the air conditioning since the weather provided ample heat and humidity.
Oh ya… a Spanish driver named Fernando Alonso won. Everyone at the event look at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears for not knowing who he was. I guess it’s like being in the US and not knowing who Joe Montana is.
