F1 RETURNS: Burnpavement’s TIPS ON SURVIVING THE SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX F1 WEEKEND

IN Formula 1, Singapore Grand Prix

After a long two-year hiatus parked on the sidelines, the Formula One (F1) Singapore Grand Prix is finally back in action!


The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of the two previous Singapore Grand Prix, but finally after a long hiatus, the Formula One circus is back on our shores! Depending on which side of the fence you’re on, you either love the fact the race is back or dread the fact that you won’t be able to drive into some parts of town. The Singapore Grand Prix festivities will be held over the last weekend of September, starting on the Friday of 30 September and concluding on Sunday, 2 October. Similar to previous years, the roads around Marina Bay and Padang will begin to close in order to facilitate the race circuit. These closures will begin from 12:01 am on Wednesday, 28 September for the organisers and support crews to begin setting up the necessary infrastructure, and will last for 7 days. All roads will be fully reopened by 530 am on Tuesday, 4 October. To ease peak hour traffic, some roads will be temporarily opened during the morning and evening rush hours. Here is the list of roads provided by the Land Transport Authority (LTA): 28 - 29 September, 5.30 am - 10 amTowards Orchard RoadCollyer Quay > St Andrews' Road > Stamford RoadTowards Shenton WayNicoll Highway > Esplanade Drive / Stamford RoadTowards Marina BoulevardRepublic Boulevard > Raffles Avenue > Bayfront Avenue30 September, 5.30 am - 10 amTowards Orchard RoadCollyer Quay > St Andrews Road > Stamford RoadTowards Shenton WayNicoll Highway > Esplanade Drive / Stamford Road3 October, 5.30 am - 10 amTowards Shenton WayNicoll Highway > Esplanade Drive / Bras Basah Road > Nicoll Highway > Esplanade DriveTowards ECP (Changi Airport)Bras Basah Road > Raffles Boulevard > Republic BoulevardTowards Marina BoulevardRaffles Boulevard > Temasek Avenue > Bayfront Avenue3 October, 5 pm - 8.30 pmTowards Shenton WayNicoll Highway > Esplanade Drive / Bras Basah Road > Nicoll Highway > Esplanade DriveTowards Orchard RoadEsplanade Drive > Nicoll Highway / Stamford RoadTowards ECP (Changi Airport)Bras Basah Road > Raffles Boulevard > Republic Boulevard / Bayfront Avenue > Raffles BoulevardTowards Marina BoulevardRaffles Boulevard > Temasek Avenue > Bayfront Avenue

2022 SINGAPORE F1 GRAND PRIX ROAD CLOSURES

IN Formula 1, Road Closures

The Singapore Grand Prix is finally back in action, but with the race comes a number of expected road closures.


Still quick in this day and age Despite being a model that has existed since the early 2000s, the R8 has remained competitive against its rivals. The mid-engine sports car can catapult itself from 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, accelerating until it reaches a top speed of 329 km/h. At the heart of the new R8 is the same familiar naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 FSI engine, known for its incomparable sound, lightning-fast response, and immense accelerating power. In the R8 V10 performance, the engine delivers 570 bhp and 550 Nm of healthy torque, which is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed S-Tronic gearbox.

Ferrari is aware of the implications such a car would have on its purist sports car image, which is why it’s gone to great lengths to convince us all of the Purosangue’s authenticity. For starters, Ferrari doesn’t actually call the Purosangue an “SUV” or even a “crossover”, merely, acknowledging that it’s “the first ever four-door four-seater car in the Prancing Horse’s history”. Then there’s the name: “Purosangue” translates from Italian as “thoroughbred”.

These aren’t your average run-of-the-mill supercars, but rather cars that shatter world records and achieve speeds most others can only dream of. It all started with the company’s speed-crazed founder, Christian Von Koenigsegg. At the age of 22, Christian was fascinated with the idea of building cars. After trading in his food business, he amassed just enough capital to finance what would later become his multi-million dollar hypercar empire, now based in Angelhom, Sweden. Today, it’s common to see different automakers sharing parts and outsourcing in order to cut costs. However, that’s not the case with Koenigsegg. These artisans make almost everything in-house, even the most trivial of things like wiper blades. The benefit? By designing every part to their specifications, Koenigsegg has managed to innovate some game-changing technologies over the years.
