Singapore F1 GP (2008) 

The Singapore Singtel F1 Grand Prix is Singapore's first F1 race, and is F1's first night race. It was held from 26 to 28 Sep. 26 and 27 bring practice races and the 28 Sep being the final race. I was given a walkabout ticket for Friday (26 Sep), thanks to Wai Lin! So here are my photos of the event for sharing and to capture the day's mood and events.
