Formula One Fever in KL

It is Formula one fever again in Malaysia as Serpang F1 GP will be held starting today 3rd of April until 5th of April (Sunday).

Since last 2 weeks, the promotion on the world most expensive race was on the move. You could see the real F1 cars display at few strategic location especially in shopping malls that become focus point of the crowd.

I was lucky enough to be in KL at this period of time where I have chance to see the real F1 cars in action. The only disappointment is that we can't actually sit into the race car, test the electronic steering and feel the view of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa!

Anyway, I should feel lucky and satisfy enough get to view the real cars. I shouldn't complain more, should I? I managed to snap some shots on these millions-worth cars to share with you.

This one is Renault team F1 car. I met him in my first week in KL. It was displayed inside Pavillion shopping mall.

Then on last Saturday I happened to go window shopping at One Utama and I met the BMW Sauber with Petronas logo on it. I met the same car again when I visited Suria KLCC on Sunday when I went hunting for GT girls from Time Square to Suria KLCC.

The one most impressed me is this Ferrari F1 car! I felt so lucky to meet him near Pavillion connection area yesterday at Shell's booth. The booth's space is very limited, thus I couldn't stand at the nice angle to shot on him! Anyway, I still manage to shot some.

For my blog readers who are F1 fan, enjoy the photos!

History Making First Ever F1 Night Race!

As a Formula One fan, I am very excited toward this. Singapore, our neighbor country is organizing their first ever F1 racing officially starting today!

The most exciting part is not about Singaporean organizing this world class sports event, but it's about the first and the only night race in F1 history! Can you imagine before these we were watching formula one race in a bright and clear environment, and in this SingTel Singapore Grand Prix, it's totally a contrast! With the dark surrounding, the spectators and the drivers will be more focus on the race track brighten by hundreds of street lights and spot lights. This will make the whole race become more exciting and watchable!

I think this is really a brand new experience not only for the drivers and their team but also for the F1 fans. No wonder some of the drivers can't wait for this race as they wanted to try out the new challenge in their racing career. For the fans, the final result of the race will be unpredictable as their favorite drivers are trying to get use to this new driving experience thus may affected their concentration and speed.

As for me which can't go to Singapore to watch the live show, I'll pay my attention to the tv live broadcast if there is any. Besides that, Internet will be my premier source to get the information about the entire race. No matter I can watch it live through tv or not, I am waiting for the race day with full excitement. Let us see who will be the the first ever F1 Grand Prix winner in the first ever night race in the formula one history!
