The man who walked across the race track during the Formula One
Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix in September was jailed six
weeks on Tuesday (Nov 3).
British national Yogvitam Pravin Dhokia, 27, earlier pleaded
guilty to a rash act that endangered the safety of the drivers
involved in the race.
The court heard that Dhokia had ventured onto the track on Sep
20 so he could be near race cars and film them.
It prompted the activation of the safety car and led to an
interruption of race proceedings.
The prosecution called it a very serious offence as the race
drivers were travelling at about 270kmh.
Dhokia could have been jailed up to six months and fined up to
$2,500.
