I think lots of ppl are excited that Redbull will be coming to showcase their F1 car with a demo during the chingay parade. But i am bit concern as many attending will have baby / children / young kids and other ppl that are not familiar with a f1 machine. You see F1 car is not a normal car and the "RAW" xhuast sound it produce when on throttle is not kitty cat meow. Just wonder the organiser will take any caution to warn ppl with baby and kids etc.....? Maybe i am just over sensitive kekeke Cheers!!
