the singapore race track venue is a mistake; to hold it right in
the smack of the city.
the closure goes beyond this sunday. they will need at least 2
days to a week of partial closure to dismantle and repair
the pavements, etc.
i drove past nicoll highway for the last 2 weekends. to put it
mildly, the place is unsightly with the lights, barricades,
etc.
in fact, the lights were switched on at broad daylights for
testings at 4pm. what a waste of energy resource.
imagine doing this year in/year out for the next 5 years or
so....
the authorities are putting a brave front to side step this
major inconveniences. not to mentioned the loss of business in the
area.
trains are pack. bus routes are changed and people, especially
elderly who are used to the routine will be `lost' for a
week.
monaco's traffic is light; melbourne hold their race away from
the city in albert park.
i am not out and out against the F1 being held in singapore, but
this is clearly causing a lot of inconveniences.
