2012 F1 Singapore Grand Prix
September 21-23, 2012
September 21
At noon, arriving at Singapore from Phuket, we went to Raffles City to redeem my F1 tickets purchased online. Went home, prepared Jona's things for her flight back to Manila in the afternoon. She needs to go back ahead of me to take care of the business.

From the airport, I head straight to Marina Bay for my first F1 experience. My first day ticket is for the first qualifying event and my zone is at the Bay Grandstand, a section of the race track beside the bay and with the view of Singapore skyline and the Marina Bay Sands.

This is the 2nd day of my F1 experience and it is for the second qualifying event and my zone is at Turn 1. This is one of the best places around the track because at this turn the cars slows down to see them clearly and for longer period and it is where the exit of the pit stop is located. Turn 1 is also exciting because of better opportunity for the drivers to overtake happening in front of you.

Met my cousin Dennis who works there, we exchange some pasalubong and chatted for a while.
This is the 3rd day of my F1 experience and it is the race day. Drivers compete for points and a place on the podium. This is Padang Grandstand, probably the less thrilling grandstand among the three I have been in terms of view and track activity. Just like my Bay Grandstand without the majestic view of the bay area. A grandstand with a straight track in front of you where cars pass by and gone in a second, a view of the Supreme Court and City Hall buildings, with large monitors for you to keep track of the race.
