The last time National Bikers Weekend Singapore was held was in 2019. Then came a pandemic-enforced two-year hiatus. Thankfully, NBWSG is back! Here's some highlights of what you can expect from 4th to 6th November 2022 at D'Marquee Downtown East (Begonia Carpark entrance from Pasir Ris Drive 3). Once in the carpark, follow the marshals' instructions on where to park your bike (or car). The first thing you'd notice is a rather large tentage right outside D'Marquee, hosting some exhibitors, such as Eni, where deals are to be had with their lubricants.

One such car was the Grandeur, a large saloon that hoped to compete with Lexus and Mercedes on stature, but in reality were snubbed by even Toyota Camry or Honda Accord buyers; the only thing grand about it was Hyundai’s lofty ambitions for the model.

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

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.

Ok, so it isn’t a full-fat M car like the M3 or M5, but rather a warmed-over M Performance model, like the M340i and M440i. Hence the double digit number in the M badge, and the demure bodywork. Still, with the ease with which electric drivetrains develop power, the i4 M50 is the brawniest model in the 3/4 Series range… For a very short while at least. One of its driving modes is called Sport Boost, which unlocks the car’s full 400kW/544hp and 795Nm of torque for up to 10 seconds at a time, a fair bit more than the M3 and M4 Competition’s 510hp and 650Nm. Otherwise, the i4 M50 normally puts out 350kW/476hp, and 730Nm.
