HEAR ME??!!

MY DREAM

Dreamers are the oneswho sleep the most

Silverstone, England, 2000The location of the British Grand Prix in Formula 1 racing

It was also the first F1 grand prix that I ever watchedAnd thus began my love for the sport

And FerrariAnd Michael Schumacher

…. Who incidentally finished that race 3rd

In case it isn’t obvious already,my dream is to attend a Formula 1 Grand Prix.

And not just any grand prix.The Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay

The noise. The speed. The adrenaline rush. The cars. The precision. The overtaking. The technology. The pit babes. The RACING!

I LOVE it ALL!

The first grand prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit took place in 2008. It was the first ever night grand prix with the entire track light by flood lights.

The track is beyond incredible, with most of it as actual city street way and one section even goes right under a grand stand holding viewers.

While Michael Schumacher doesn’t race for Ferrari anymore, I would still get to see him on track at the race.

Also, Ferrari is in an amazing position in the championship at this point of time and Singapore would be an important race.

To see it live would be a dream come true.

Where does Rohan fit into all of this ?

When I visited Singapore in the summer of 2011, I had a chance to actually visit the Marina Bay circuit and it was an incredible experience. To stand at the point where the cars actually enter the pit lane was incredible! I HAD to come back to watch a live grand prix there !!

Mommy and me at the Marina Bay Pit entrance.Don’t worry, Godrej won’t have to pay for her tickets :D Just mine :D

Ok. So. Now I have this dream right? How do we make a it a reality ?
