The Sound of Formula One Racing

Singapore held its first Formula One Grand Prix last year 2008 and being the first it was also its first night race. Wow! It was exciting then and it is still exciting now. While I was around the vicinity of the racing circuit, I get to hear the sound of rubble. It sounds horrifying. It is a different sound from the Jumbo aeroplane or the National Day Parade Fly Pass fighter planes. It was the sound of rockets on land. Even better than the one screened in the movie of Michael J Fox in his Back To The Future vehicle.

The sound of the Singapore drift begins with 3 practice races and one qualifying and the final race to the Finish Line. The last I heard about the need for these practice races so that both the drivers and their race cars get adjusted to the circuit. Getting feedback from the field is important so that immediate action can be taken to improve so as to provide the best and safiest circuit for all the drivers.
