no more driving to this part of town for me...

[Nutty]

Price to pay for glamour.

 

Really fcuked up...

[Wishcumstrue]

I relish the idea of driving on a fresh coat of F1-graded asphalt.

 

Of course, why ruin the experience by testing the route during peak hours or when road blocks are up?

[Davidcks]

ya man, dunno what is the difference between normal asphalt? hee!

[Shull]

i've come to realise something..

 

normal F1 tracks have sand at corners as a 'buffer' when cars lose control..how is our street circuit gonna do that?

They may built safety barrier like Monaco.

Yes, barrier is definitely part of the requirement since there are zero run-off zone in street circuits, unlike dedicated race circuits.

 

I think Singapore GP may hv borrow heavily from the Monaco experience being the only few F1 street circuits. Difference here is Monaco streets are much tighter and narrower and even the fastest stretch is restricted to 260 kph.

 

The ultimate challenge is being the 1st night race with new lighting experience + new FIA restricts like no traction control. I cannot imagine the scenario when a driver got into a spin and resulting in subsequent pile-ups in a constricted location like Anderson Bridge. Try driving thru that location at >80kph u will know how hairy it gets.

 

Many parties will be very very anxious that things go as planned with safety measures exceeding requirements.

 

Risk will always be there and we will only know this come Sep.
