I'm not an avid fan of race car, or sports for that matter. But I'm totally in love with Disney's Movie "Cars" which is done on a race track. Then comes the F1 race in Singapore. It's incredible that I stayed glued to my seat throughout the whole race that started at 7.30pm till 10+pm. Of cos, in the midst of it during commercial break I changed channel to 33 and watched a few minutes of High School Musical 2.

The race was breathtaking. I still don't get how the race actually proceeded, or what's there to be so obsessed over. But when you see cars overtake one another when they're just a few centimeters apart, wow~ The feeling was like "Woosh! Wow! That was a close shave before their tires kissed!"

Usually we see race cars movies or other races, cars could overtake one another. But it's quite hard to do so in the SG race cos probably the limited space. But nevertheless it was a good race. And I'm proud, being part of it - Even as a spectator at home watching tv.

And I realized something: Even racing cars, you gotta think not only how to win hands-down, win your opponent, collect points, overtake your opponents, but also think tactics. How many pit-stops you have, and when you take that pit-stop determines if you win or lose. It's just a fraction of a second, literally. Because on the race track, everything happens within that 1 second.

PS: Do you know RACECAR spelled backwards it's still RACECAR? ;)
