woot! Exciting news: Not only is F1 going to Singapore next year, it will also be the first ever night-time race!

Just read about it here.

I am so gonna go for the race! hahaha. IF the tickets won’t rob my entire bank account lah. :p

Have never gone for a live F1 race before even though Sepang isn’t that far away. But seriously, Sepang is too hot (track temperature went up to an insane 50 degrees). I really don’t wanna travel 1 hour there from PJ (plus I don’t really know how to drive there), and I really don’t wanna bake under the 30-40 degrees sun. Sepang race is more fun to watch on TV. And I’m not really in PJ most of the time anyway.

But the Singapore race, hmm, I can definitely think about that. Quite near from where I stay, not hot (no sun!), novelty (night-race!), street circuit will be interesting, and it’s new.

Then hopefully the free-to-air channels will pick up the itv race broadcast so we can all watch for free. Right now the only option is cable TV with sucky Star Sports commentary.

Whee. exciting. I guess if I’ve got no money, there’s still TV. So it ain’t that bad. :p Plus 1 more new race at Valencia, so that means more races to watch next year!
