Think about all the lighting thats needed to be put up. F1 cars no headlights, so lighting needs to be as good as daylight.<BR/><BR/>Think about the high level of security all round, and cordoning off for pedestrians, the MRT stations affected. <BR/><BR/>Think about all the offices and businesses affected by the noise pollution. When those races are going, i can bet u - no one's gonna sit in their offices and try to work, would they? esp those on the night shift for the New York market?<BR/><BR/>And with the blast of noise, let's hope all those glass windows in CBD can take the pressure and not break.<BR/><BR/>With all these, they might as well announce public holidays for the week that so many things are disrupted. <BR/><BR/>we aren't exactly Monaco or Macau - party cities where the road closures dont impact so many people. ours will be smack in the middle of the BUSINESS DISTRICT. <BR/><BR/>There's a reason that proper F1/racing tracks all over the world are FAR AWAY from town areas - to least affect people in general. <BR/><BR/>but i'm sure the govt has thought about all these - and the pros overwhelm the cons, i'm sure. this must have been argued and debated over parliament for weeks.<BR/><BR/>AygeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-78224106294480267592007-05-12T03:49:00.000+08:002007-05-12T03:49:00.000+08:00Yayy!Yayy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-77643168137217270002007-05-12T03:47:00.000+08:002007-05-12T03:47:00.000+08:00wldnt this be so much trouble for the drivers? the...wldnt this be so much trouble for the drivers? they will have to train how to race at night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-45555055515291422132007-05-12T03:45:00.000+08:002007-05-12T03:45:00.000+08:00We can watch the race from the hotels!We can watch the race from the hotels!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-27329465017089248822007-05-12T03:42:00.000+08:002007-05-12T03:42:00.000+08:00>But Singapore's government says safety concerns w...>But Singapore's government says safety concerns will have to be resolved.<BR/><BR/>So what's the likelyhood that the govt will say NO to the night race?<BR/><BR/>I think the night race will differentiate us from the Malaysian F1 and the rest.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope we get all the safety issues settled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-86698882572420701662007-05-12T03:41:00.000+08:002007-05-12T03:41:00.000+08:00next year!next year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-30947642294902081742007-05-12T03:40:00.000+08:002007-05-12T03:40:00.000+08:00Congrats to Singapore.
