There are lots of them at many circuits. But I think that metal fencing on that 1st pic should work well :)

Into the first corner.

I'm really looking forward to this night race. Should add a great new dimension and hopefully atmosphere.

Aerial shots from the helicopter should give an instant track layout in light. Hint of here:-

"Digi flags" system (black flack will appear with a white boarder):-

There is a video of Nico doing a simulated lap there now. What I would give to have one of those in my front room. Simulator not Nico.

Speed of gearchange is incredible and the fact he gets on the power so early. Ain't F1 marvellous?

My friend's girlfriend lives in Singapore ATM. Her friend is going to interview Lewis Hamilton. My friend's girlfriend will take photos of the track from the 40th floor of a hotel. Hopefully there will be some stuff worth posting on here.

Don't let your GF get that close to Hamilton....

She may not be yours for very long!

God I hope it doesn't rain! I hate rain races this season since they don't have traction control. They look down right snail-like. I can't stand to watch them tiptoe around and drive so slowly. Plus, with rain at night it'll look like crap on tv. The cameras they have on the cars have very crappy systems to clear the water off the lense and they fog up really bad. I can't believe in a multi-billion dollar sport they can't even get the cameras right! Please no rain! [-o<

10 minutes before free practice 1. The lighting system looks pretty good. I don't see any huge issues if rain comes, but I could imagine the lights shining through a rooster tail wouldn't exactly be the best for visibility...

Pretty excited...

They have an awefull lot of TecPro barriers and he managed to hit one. A couple of spins in the last corner as well. One of the corners looks like the wall of champions. :lol:

That last corner claimed at least three people. Curious why they chose to paint the ground with silicon grease...
