Show me a sporting event in this country with better food?
And I also suggest you've never been to Leeds if you think that so perhaps you leave my city alone as it's none of your concern.
Singapore is set in the middle of a city with almost limitless funding from a government, what do you expect? You're not going to get a subway and starbucks at a real reacetrack where they are only going to get custom for a handful of days throughout the year. The 'big name bands' weren't put on by Singapore IIRC, I believe that was part of 'F1 Rocks', an initiative launched well after te BGP this season. Your complaints are just illogical. Do you know how much those swipe cards and presentation packs you were given cost? May I ask how many other races use them? I for one have never seen that at any sporting event for ordinary customers that I have been to.
Calm down shouty man. I'm not sure why you're getting so defensive about the catering. As I said, I like the place. I'm British. I want there to be a BGP. I'm just saying the facilities are crap.
For an example of good food, just off the top of my head... The Emirates. Normal priced seat, not corporate.
I thought you'd bite about the Leeds comment.
I like Leeds! I've been loads of times. Manchester, la, la, la
I do realise the Singapore GP is in a city (I was there). So I only mentioned the facilities that were temporary. Everything I described was temporary - tents, stands, portaloos etc. The bands/DJs were all within the circuit. Carl Cox, John Digweed, Travis, Backstreet Boys, loads of local acts I didn't know - no extra charge. F1 Rocks was a separate event away from the circuit. I was in the grandstand, not the posh seats or the Paddock Club, for three days and it was much cheaper than 3 days at Silverstone.
It's much harder to walk round the circuit. The view of the track isn't as good but the facilities were much, much better. So ner.
