2009 Singapore Grand Prix

1° 17' 29.05" N, 103° 51' 50.93" E
This is the second time Singapore is hosting the Formula One night race but its my first time at the race. I won a ticket to view the practice session this year. I was at 'Turn 23' last turn before pit straight. Turn 23 seems a nice spot for photography, with views of the Singapore flyer right infront of me and if you go to the highest seat, you can clear the safety fence for a unblock shot at the racing cars. I was using a 70-200mm lens and later found out that 'hell' the range is not sufficient at 200mm, you would have to wait for the racing cars to get really close to your sitting area before pressing the shutter button and those guys driving the formula one cars are damn fast, i had a hard time focusing on them even in a practice session.
