[Official] Rate the Race : Singapore GP

They could make it a better race by removing some of those needless kerbs that provide artificial barriers for the track boundries. Several corners could be made much quicker and more flowing if those kerbs in the middle of no where were moved back or removed completely.

I agree turn ten is stupid...

i think its a gorgeous city, thousands of years old with a combination of several eastern religions resulting in an amazing blend of culture and architecture spanning that whole length of time.

under the lights the cars look surreal so the race is always a 10 for me in terms of spectacle and i actually found myself very entertained for the most part. my heart literally stopped when Schumi hit the back of Perez and the race director cut to the wrong angle. perhaps the most nervous/anxious moment of the year for me.

gave it an 8 but i like shiny things.

Some of the drivers have gone on the record as saying the race was too long. It very nearly hits the 2 hours limit. I think if they got rid of some of the chicanes and changed some of the corners that might help it. Plus improve the flow.

Singapore is better than Valencia, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi. Still not the greatest race track to race on. The tunnel section provides some novelty. I would love to see a wet race there. Although, do you think it would be stopped?

Only if there were three drops of rain, two would be fine

They love their race in Singapore which I think is the main thing...

I was there many years ago and it is a fascinating city..

I finally got to see race and it wasn't particularly exciting. Webber's overtakes were the best bit. I don't know what's up with Hamilton but he's really lost his composure, while Button seems to be thriving. Gave it 5.

Mark explains how tough Singapore is for the drivers..

Hehehehehe. I was referring to the fact, that the drainage in Singapore might be a problem. Especially with the high walls and tunnel section. Plus I can imagine it would be like a monsoon.

I can see it now :-

Lewis on the radio : "Yeah everything is fine we can race." (Crashes into someone on the following lap).

Jenson on the radio : "I can't see a thing!" (Manages to win the race).

To me, Singapore is one of the few races that I would enjoy even if they would just drive in the same position from lights to flag. Only Monaco, Spa and Suzuka would do so aswell. Add that they did change positions quite a few times in more or less dramatic style, and I will give it an 8.

Yeah, I would happily sit there and watch 2 hours of in-car footage on a street circuit, with no overtaking. Just spectacular. Though nothing beats Monaco for that IMO.
