    No, I find it difficult to believe that it's "sold out".

    Well, there are huge crowds here both inside and off the track. Here's turn one and also a mall exhibit in my hotel about an hour before qualifying.

    BTW: The Ferrari F1 car you see here is a fake/mock up. I've seen it before on display at the Hong Kong airport. It's pretty convincing though.

    Don't know about the drivers, but I've been told Flavio smells like a combination of Drakkar, overpriced floozies and greased palms. :eek:

    I wish I could go to my local mall and see even a high quality fake like this. American mallgoers would rather see a NEKCAR. :eek:

    Was that your flat red F430 spider in the parking lot of the mall near the Pan Pacific?

    Glad to see you got the camera working there. Neat pictures, thanks! Looks like you are very close to the action.

    Are there support races before the F1 race or is the big show the only race of the day?

    Before. It's pretty hot but I went to most of them so far. They have a Porsche club race, a Formula BMW (actually 2 of them on two separate days) and an Aston Martin club race.

    Yesterday a guy in a Formula BMW got punted from behind and did a complete 360 right in front of me. Everyone OK but it's kind of weird seeing a car bounce down the track. Compared to the F-1 cars, they look like go karts!

    Just 2 rows up. Actually, higher would have been better to avoid most of the fence. I have a better idea now and where to sit next time. I think Turn 2 grandstand would be the best as you can see right down the start/finish, turn 1, turn 2 (which is barely a turn) and turn 3 (which is pretty much a hairpin).

    BDelp,

    I am from S'pore. I cannot see Michael Schumacher anywhere - has he given Singapore a miss again?

    BTW, have you managed to date delectable Tamara Ecclestone yet?!

    It certainly was attracting a lot of attention! I had to fight my way through the people taking pictures of it. I had a feeling it was yours. I saw a picture of it before that you posted. Looks a lot better in person than the photos. In the photos, it looks like a car that needs a waxing. But, in person, it's much more interesting. It looks like it was difficult to do. The finish is perfect as far as I could see.

    How the heck do you drive it here? In LV, I can let mine loose once in a while. I can't see how anyone can do that here (or Hong Kong for that matter).
