From F1-Live:
Following its successful maiden Grand Prix last year - the first
Formula One race to take place under floodlights - the Singapore GP
and local news daily Today have now launched a contest which will
allow fans to name three corners of the city circuit.
The three corners at play are Turns 1, 7 and 10. The first was an
easy candidate for the contest as it is always a crucial moment at
the start of any race.
According to the circumstances at hand, Turn 7 was the scene of
several tactical or improvised overtaking manoeuvres last year, and
the action seen there prompted the need for a name as well.
As for Turn 10, it proved a difficult challenge to handle for many
drivers due to its triple apex and bumpy kerbs; both Kimi Raikkonen
and Giancarlo Fisichella ended their Singaporean race in the
barriers as they attempted to navigate through.
Fans can choose from a variety of sources for their inspiration, be
it former F1 drivers, landmarks, shapes, characteristics, etc.
However, although the contest is open to all regardless of their
location in the world, adding a local aspect to the potential names
is a must.
In addition, the name submissions must not contain more than three
words (including the terms 'corner' or 'turn') and have no
commercial connotation.
"The judges will be looking to choose names that are punchy, have a
strong local connection and are easy to pronounce," said the
Singapore GP's deputy chairman Colin Syn to the Today
newspaper.
"With a global race weekend television audience of more than 110
million and with 600 foreign media in town, it is a great
opportunity to highlight our local icons throughout all the
action-packed 61 laps," Syn added.
The contest winners will each receive a three-day pass for the 2009
edition of the Singapore Grand Prix in addition to a tour of the
pitlane.
I would have thought it was easy: LKY, GCT and LHL. The
first, the struggling middle and the bumpy arse end.
