SMRT counters Red Bull's Night Race
allegations!
In motor racing,
SMRT has responded to allegations that its trains were the
reason behind Red Bull F1 team driver, Mark Webber, retiring from
the Singapore Grand Prix.
Last week, Red Bull Team boss Christian Horner told Britain's
Autosport magazine that it appeared a sudden electrical surge from
a passing train at Turn 13 interfered with Webber's gear-box.
In its response to a query from 938LIVE, an SMRT spokesperson
yesterday said, there's no MRT track beneath Turn 13 which was at
the junction of Anderson Bridge and Esplanade Drive.
She said the nearest MRT tunnel is about 200 metres away, with a
depth of about 10 metres.
In addition, the spokesperson says train wheels and running
rails are made of metal and therefore do not generate static
electricity charges during train operations.
"there's no MRT track beneath Turn 13 which was at the junction
of Anderson Bridge and Esplanade Drive.
She said the nearest MRT tunnel is about 200 metres away,
with a depth of about 10 metres."
This is just enough to pwn the shit out of the Redbull-shit
team. Bunch of suckers they are.
