My social life seems to have become more fulfilling these days.
I was invited to watch the Formula Drift Competition held at the Changi Exhibition Hall. For the uninspired, Changi Exhibition Hall is located at the ulu far eastern corner of Singapore, where you get a spectacular view of Pulau Tekong, a place many 18 year olds would shudder at the mere sight of it. The compeition is held over the 2-day weekend but I only have time for the Saturday practice session.
It was one of those scorching hot weekends where you have to slather on lots of SPF, wear a farmer’s hat and Oakleys to avoid sunburn. The sound and smell of burning rubber on asphalt raised the temperature a few notches higher.
The layout of the event … where the cars, beer and babes are.
Grand Stand where you are sheltered from the sun … to be honest, its better to get the Walkabout tickets as you can catch the action from different angles.
Practice Car #1 speeds, drifts and crashes
Practice Car #2 trailing closely behind and belching a pipeful of smoke
Not to be outdone, Practice Car #3 does the ditty on the tarmac and comes to a screeching halt.
Hey Bro … do you mind? You are ruining the picture!!!
