Singapore F1 Grand Prix – Speedreg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since it was established in 2008, the Marina Bay Street\nCircuit used for the Singapore Grand Prix has come under criticism for being\ntoo difficult and somewhat dangerous. Drivers have commented that it\u2019s twice as\nhard to drive as the iconic Monaco street circuit and it\u2019s too bumpy with some\nhigh  kerbs. Of course any street circuit\ncomes with extra dangers. You can\u2019t move walls and buildings to make the track\nsafer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worst weather for 3 years <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s not all, this year the Grand Prix coincides with\nthe haze. This is air pollution caused by farmers burning crops to clear fields\nin Indonesia and Malaysia. This year the air quality is the worst it\u2019s been for\nthree years and visibility is very low. That\u2019s going to make the race difficult\nfor the spectators to watch, but also hard for the drivers to see, it\u2019s\nbasically like driving in fog, and you wouldn\u2019t want to do that at F1 speeds! Then\nyou\u2019ve got the fact that this a night race, which was decided upon to make it\nconvenient for European viewers, but that means the competitors are driving at\nhigh speed, in fog, in the dark. When you think about it like that, it\u2019s pretty\nscary! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incredibly hot too<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This race is also very hot and humid. Spectators will be\nsweaty enough in 30C temperatures with a humidity level of 80%, but in the\ncockpit of a F1 car the temperatures rocket to around 50C. They don\u2019t call this\nrace the Singapore Sauna for nothing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will the race be called off?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the air quality has been deemed to be unhealthy, as\nyet the race has not been called off. Spectators will be able to get masks at\nthe event to help protect their health but it\u2019s as yet unclear if all the\nsurrounding events will still take place. There are many activities going on in\nand around the circuit and open air concerts from big names such as Fatboy\nSlim, Muse and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number plates for your favourite Grand Prix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
