is F1 night at the Singapore showdown... in a new layout

_________________
Motorsports trend for 2024: everything is a bad taste joke now

Looking forward to seeing the new layout in action. Feels a big improvement to the circuit flow.

How many different lay outs have we had already?

4th. With Singapore Sling, without it, with a tighter entry into turn 11 and this one.

This one may become permanent, the work they're doing requires tearing down the big grandstand to build a new outdoor arena.

I have mixed feelings about Singapore nowadays. Yeah, it may have been a nice novelty in 2008, but today when half of the races are night street races (well not really, but just wait for 10 years), it's nothing special anymore. During Covid I didn't really miss Singapore, at least the same way as Melbourne, Montreal and Suzuka. It doesn't help there are no proper supporting series. I really liked when GP2 raced in the daylight here in 2012/2013.

But let's see. Maybe the new layout will spice up the show. I had already forgotten what happened last year, but apparently it was an eventful one with some rain and multiple incidents. Hoping for a similar race. Maybe Perez can end Verstappen's winning streak? About time, I'd say.

This makes 5. In addition to the 4 Alex mentioned, the first corner and pit exit were reprofiled after the first race.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I don't remember anything about last year's race eventhough it rained, what the hell?

2008 - Original
2009 - Tightened first corner, Singapore Sling chicane and corner on the Esplanade Bridge
2014 - Removed Singapore Sling chicane
2015 - Rerouted to other side of Anderson Bridge
2017 - Slight change to Piquet's corner
2023 - Removal of Crashgate corners

This layout is the best one so far, hopefully it stays

More pics and articles here

Controversial opinion - the changes they've made (removing crash gate corners) have made this circuits one of the best on the calendar

Bit early to say I think, it'll definitely be an improvement but turns 7-13 are still going to keep the cars separated

FP1 starting

This track actually looks pretty good in daylight as well.

Phantom yellow.

Lol

Godzilla jr on track

any excuse to post this

It would be amazing to have random SC's because of lizards on Sunday.

So many lizards on track...

So who will let their pet lizard loose during the race when their pitstop is coming?
