Singapore confirmed too

Post

Seems we have two new races next year. First Valencia, now Singapore.

It's supposed to be driven in september or october. Designed by Tilke and 4.8km long in the harbour.

Apparently they still haven't decided whether it will be run during daytime or night.

Elsewhere the guy from Singapore said there's still a chance that it'll be a normal day race, if they can't guarantee safety for the night.

I know what you mean, but I think if we stop at Singapore we'll be OK. Street Circuits are usually more interesting to watch but then again circuits are designed to promote overtaking and test drivers skill and control to the maximum.

I'd rather go to the A1GP South Africa track than Singapore though.

This is probably a more correct layout of the track.

what a surprise Mark is driving a Renault :D
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
