Popped over to the completion ceremony of the F1 pit building about a few weeks back in a bid to support F1′s first night race and Asia’s first street race. I must admit that I stood in awe as I wondered how remarkable a building like that could be completed in just 10 months. Spanning 350 metres, the pit building will house the biggest name in the racing arena and kicked into full gear from 26 to 28 September this year.
Although I will not be there during race day, my visit there gave me a tiny glimpse of how the atmosphere would be when (perhaps) one of the greatest F1 milestone takes place in a few months time. I took some time standing on the second floor imagining how the cars will pull up below for a few seconds as race engineers scurry away to change tyres, clean engines, and tune up. Honestly I can’t wait for September to come…it is going to be one heck of a ride.
