Some final pictures of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix. Let's start with the side events and other non-race related images.
Padang with the Suntec Area in the background.
Old Supreme Court by night.
Below another night scene of the Singapore Skyline and one of the 'mod' cars on display.
Lamborgini's all parked in a row, another 6 more turned up later in the night, they were all parked at the Hotel.

CRASH out !!
Below more pictures of the Support races, in practice, qualifying and actual race, the support races all finish before dark, only the F1 cars were running the race under lights.
Finally some F1 action.
And last but not least me at the Races ........ at the Padang Grandstand and with my friend who was one of the volunteers there.
After 3 days at the races here are my top highs and lows of the event.
Low1) Dropping my sunglasses and getting it trampled by the masses. I dropped my glasses as I was just about to keep them as the sun was going down and it slip from my hands as there was a mass of people walking in this very crowded and cramp walkway (see point 2 below) between the flyer and marina area and no fault of anyone it got stepped on.
2) Needs improvement on the movement of people especially at the area behind the Bay Grandstand, it is always crowded, but before the races it's not too bad it took me 10 min's to get to the flyer from Marina, but coming back when the race is about to start it took me more than half an hour and there were Police officer getting people to move still, in the end they had to open the emergency exit to get some flow going.
3) The high prices for food and drinks, especially for drinks since you need it and we could not bring in any bottled water.
4) The seats at the grandstands, they are just too small and too close to each other we were packed like sardines and they are not the most comfortable seats around.
5) Insufficient entry and exit gates which lead to the jams when the event was over, but it seems finally found out faster to get out of the area by the back through Raffles MRT area than from the front at City Hall.
High
1) Excellent idea to hold the race in the evening, it was so much cooler and there was a breeze blowing on all 3 days, partly I think due to the fact that we were near water.
2) The atmosphere, woo hooo... it was outstanding and of course those ear plus really help keep your hearing. The F1 machines really make a huge amount of noise.
3) Side events were great to watch inbetween races. There was things to do and see everywhere.
4) Usher, Ticketing, Security and all the other volunteers -- never had a problem getting in as it was relatively fast and enough lanes, getting out was the big headache.
5) Getting to meet one of the drivers, Nakajima as he was going into the Paddock area. Must have been the highlight of the weekend for me.
