Formula One night race

Finally the dust settled after 3 days of Formula One night race. It has been an intense week for the organizer, the participants, the support group, the concert performers (Beyoncè and Black eye pea were here to perform) and the audience.

Last year, 100,000 tickets were sold. Although the sales figure for this year is still unknown, judging from the sightings, visitors are coming from more varied location : European, Austrialians, Indians, Chinese, Japanese etc.

In the end, most Singaporeans are not really concern who the winner of the race is. Many, including me, cannot see the fun or excitement watching cars go round and round the course. People only wants to know if the event has been successful. The government and the hoteliers want to know if their investments will bring good returns next year. The sponsors are concern if there is sufficient exposure to justify the money they fork out. And I, I only want to know if there will be a traffic congestion if I go to Bugis Junction shopping mall, which is near to the racing venue.
