Will It Be A Success? - We Have To Wait and See

There is so much discussion going on at various communities and forums about the new addition to the list of grand prix - Singapore's Marina Bay Circuit. Singapore's Thompson road circuit is well known to most of the people as it was used for grand prix held in 1960's and 1970's. But this circuit at Marina Bay is a Street Circuit, the 2nd Street circuit in grand prix only next to the Monaco's Monte Carlo Street circuit. So the track is expected to be less wider than the normal racing tracks. The length of the track will be around 5kms. The best thing about the 15th grand pix of this season is that it is going to be a night race . Its the 1st of its kind in the history of Formula 1 racing. The ticket sales were over by the end of March 2008 itself. Singapore government is to spend around $90million singapore dollars for this race. The total capacity of this race track is 110000 seats. There is a Bridge above the track and singapore government has imposed a fine of above $1000 singapore dollars for the people who stop their vehicle to watch the race from the bridge. As usual 20 cars from 10 teams will be participating in this race. Lets wait and see who emerges victorious in this amazing street circuit.
