F1 SURPRISE!! :)
i've been wanting to watch F1 but not willing to spend hundreds on the tickets. i just wanted to go nearby to be able to hear the sounds of the F1 cars and maybe to catch some atmosphere. so our plan this year was to go find a nice place to go to, where we can enjoy the view for free!
a day or two before F1, a student gave jy a free grandstand ticket! so we were figuring out how we were going to watc with 1 ticket. maybe take turns going in? or should we buy another ticket?
anyhow, on saturday, we made our way to the area. parked the car at shaw towers and walked over to raffles city area. we saw the gates for entry and just looked longingly to go in. maybe we'll buy walking tickets next year? the crowd was still quite sparse at 5pm. so we decided to go into raffles city to grab a bite.
the next thing i knew, i was presented with 2 F1 entry passes!! ???? where did jy get them from? he left the car, usually empty handed. this time too. and suddenly, the 2 F1 passes, still in their boxes, were placed before me! and apparently, he already got them ready when we were discussing how to make use of the pass that the student gave! he's a good actor.... haha :p
yay! we're going for F1! :) and off we went! soaking in the great atmosphere, and staying there all the way to 11pm! we got to watch practise sessions and well as the qualifiers. and many other ongoing performances there. had a SUPER great time! :)
here are some photos! jy will upload the rest onto facebook later.
F1 map and directions
official event merchandise..... super ex....
programme booklet, entry pass, the box that contained the entry passes, survival kit with a poncho and earplugs (VERY IMPORTANT!!) and a map. (as you can see, the map is very used... haha :p
one of the performances....
at a corner... cars are too fast for my camera... think this is alonso in his renault.
at the grandstand. there's a yellow blur if you can see near the spectators fence.... that's how fast they were!! and loud too!!
grandstand is good cos there's big screen tv too! :)
and that's the end of my wonderful F1 experience this year. :) thank YOU!! :) :)
