Whatever Importance...........: Formula One... Overwhelming..

Its the F1 weekend, and as an enthusiast, Baby and me together with weijie and mingfong went down on Friday evening to catch the Practice 1 and Practice 2 sessions. Upon reaching, we went to have dinner at the basement of Raffles City, there were not many people in this Hong Kong Cafe Restaurant, so we went in. While eating, I told them not to pin too much hope on able to see the cars as i think there will be a huge crowd. However, things went pretty smoothly, the human traffic control was commendable. We followed some people and ended at Turn 7, which is just outside Suntec's Main Entrance. The view there was great and not too crowded. As the cars came, they had to slow down from the high speedway for this turn 7, due to gear changing, the car produces loud exploding sounds, it felt so good just listening to it..

TURN 7

Saturday evening i went back with waihoe to watch the practice session again, cause he wanted to feel and hear the F1 cars after I told him my experience on Fri. We met around 6.45pm, and i brought him to the same place that i stood on Fri. Upon reaching, he was hungry and asked me if i wanted to grab some food, but before he could move on i told him the practice had started, cause its very loud u can hear it roaring towards us from far. He tot that was all, until the 1st car whizzed passed us, he told me " WTH, wat was that, so powerful..!" It was hilarious, he told me he never expected such amplitude, its so much different from TV. However, after awhile we wanted to walk to the steps at marina to watch another view of the race. As we walked into marina, the cars passing by were causing tremors( i am not joking!) to the ground as we walked past esprit store. And of course, curiosity brought us to the area under esprit store, which is the open area outside carl's jr, usually the marina carpark's exit. When we reached, there were some guys cutting away the fasteners to the opaque cover. When they were cutting people were clapping, so interesting. Because after that everyone will have a great and clear view of the race. HAHA..Anyway, that track segment is the fastest sector, where the cars will reach speeds of about 280Km/hr. The sound there was ear-bursting, everyone were covering their ears. Engine sound of almost 19000 Revs.. WOW..!
