F1 Grand Prix in Singapore (Formula 1 Race)
In September 2008 Singapore will hold its first F1 race as new destination added to the F1 circus. It's not only the first race in Singapore, it's also the first ever night race in the Formula 1 history.
The race will take place on the weekend of 26. / 27. and 28. september. It's not a separate motor sport course like the one in Sepang, Malaysia but a street course similar to to the Monaco race.
The course is centrally located in downtown Singapore along the water front (Singapore River, Marina Bay, Marina Channel). The start/finish area will be at the Marina Promenade and then the course follows Raffles Blvd, Nicoll Highway, Stamford Road, St.Andrews Road, Fullerton Road (at the mouth of Singapore River and the business district), Raffles Avenue passing the Esplanade back to Marina Promenade. This is bound to be one scenic and spectacular race.
Ticket prices range from SGD 168 (General Walkabout Tickets) to SGB 1388 for the Pit Grandstand at the Marina Promenade.

Definately one of the highlights of this country and safe to eat. You may have some trouble the first days if you are not used to spiciness of some of the dishes (but not all). But stories of food poisoning are rather rare. So go out try the hawker food and explore. It’s really good. And don’t you dare going to fast food chains… okay, one visit after every 10 local dishes is okay

Malaysia truly features a melting pot of cultures with multi-ethnic traditions and culinary diversity. In line with Visit Malaysia 2007, film director Michael Chick has produced a TV series that focuses on the country’s rich heritage, culture and nature. Chick was inspired to produce the independent series after hearing complaints from tourists about how fake some Malaysian tourism advertisements looked.
