Perhaps Traffic Police can "rent" out portable speeding cameras/ laser cameras which i think is fast enough to capture the F1 car:bsmilie:

well..at least up to 250km/h that is. :sweatsm:

If I am not wrong, after 250kmh the police radar is unable to capture the actual speed? Anyone care to share this if it's true?
 

accessible only to ticket holder. but...BUT..the wrapped up the overpasses with boards.

when true the whole thingy.

if you are not a pass holder or press, it's quite difficult to get any good vantage point.

Plus, there will be another few thousands who would also want to be at the vantage point if there is any at all.
 

WHAT A QUALIFICATION FROM BOTH FERRARI AND MCLAREN!

Tomorrow's Race Day is going to be a tight one......

Congrats to Massa for yet another pole position!

Pork Slice got SLICED by 1 second to take second on the grid.

hmm...spoilt? bad pork? :bsmilie:
 

Actually in F1, it was banned by the French many years ago. It's not just Singapore.....

My reply is with regards to Singapore. :) Je suis conscient de l'interdiction française. :)

No offence to you with my reply. :)

QUIET!!!!

No one can stop me now!!! :sweat:

I'm talking to the Rain God now.....#*(*#*@^@()(!)! AmiAmiAmiFu.... Wahahahaha!!! :devil:
 

If anyone is planning to drive and park at Suntec City for the race tomorrow, i seriously advise that you either park elsewhere or leave real EARLY and ASAP once the race finish.

First, if you follow the natural crowd, it's COMPLETLY PACKED for the path from Marina Bay to Suntec City, expect to be canned sardine for the few hundred or so walkway. We ended up having to take an alternative route in the road below.

Second, good luck to your petrol consumption, we spent ONE HOUR just to clear the Suntec City Carpark when everybody was doing the same. This was the worst jam i ever see comparable to Causeway's. The one lane per direction road ended up being both use for navigating to exit, and to boot gridlock like status at every junction. We barely left the parking lot during the first 15 min for this

Yes, tested at Mythbuster with almost conclusive results. Actual result depend on the exact model and operation of the speed cameras used by TP.

The MythBusters tested whether a speed camera…

…cannot take a picture of a car if it is going fast enough.

Busted

Neither a Dodge Neon nor a Lamborghini Murciélago were able to travel fast enough (at 138 mph, 222 km/h) to outrun the camera. It should be noted, however, that the British motoring show Top Gear was able to beat the cameras by speed with a TVR Tuscan S at 170 mph*, albeit with a UK-spec Gatso speed camera. This myth was revisited in season 6, wherein it was explained that while speed cameras in the UK require two consecutive photographs for a conviction, US speed cameras require only one.

* The Stig had to drive fast enough to be undetected by a speed camera. After attempts in a Honda Civic Type R (129 mph) and a Mercedes CL55 AMG (148 mph), he finally did it at 170 mph in a TVR Tuscan S. Clarkson looks into biodiesel, and tests the usage of biodiesel with a Volvo 740.

So good luck with Singapore TP.Perhaps anybody with a BMW M or Mercedes AMG which is capable of hitting in excess of 250km/h can reconfirm my claim :bsmilie:


Anyway, do anyone know why Fernando Alonso gave up halfway?I saw him leaving the car :dunno:

He forgot to bring cashcard for ERP!

Car problems. Not sure, commentator no idea and the team have not eleborate. Looks like he will start from the pits or last place.

Oh dun worry, I am a good boy tat didn't contributed to the jam, on Friday i parked my Lamborghini Murcielargo LP640 at Raffles Hotel & walk to race track. On Saturday, it was more crowded, i anticipated, so i drove out my Lamborghini Gallardo, saves more precious space on the road & the pouch in front of Raffles Hotel. Sunday most prob i'll go in my new Ferrari 430 Scuderia. :bsmilie:
 

Maybe she is hinting on you to buy a car that actually will roar similiar to the F1.....maybe a Lambo LP640 or Maserati Quad or Ducati Monster........

I think it's the adrenaline of the speed and sound makes her tickle........?:devil:

Locally a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 tat has 1080bhp probably has the sound to satisfy her. Can sit 2 in the car somemore. Not exposed to the elements. Find the workshop tat has it to sell to you... ;)
