When you think motorsports, most Singaporeans, depending on their age group and how cool they are, will almost everytime mention Formula 1. Then you get go-karting.

 

Unlike most of Europe and even Asia, the local motorsports scene is still in it's infancy, but has been growing with the acceptance and popularity of the annual drift events, go-karting championships and the impromptu races on the expressway with a young punk Civic driver.

 

All aside though, we're pretty much well behind most of the world in that area. Even on the quality of motorsports on tv.

 

Sure sure Formula One is the epitome of motorsports blah blah but seriously guys, the races have become more boring since I started following it religiously about 4 years ago.

 

I now find myself dozing off during races and I'm not talking about the recent Canadian GP.

 

This year's Le Man's was stacking up to be another nail-biter and I was casually short-listing my options on how I could watch the race live. Couldn't find a streamer online that was reliable enough and Starhub's cable lost rights to F1, so generally assumed it lost the license to televising most other races of importance as well - until I stumbled upon channel Euro Sports.

 

I taped the post-race telecast and watched it one sunny afternoon. It was great! I thought I was one of the few people who were lucky enough to venture into the unknown world of channels ranging from 100 to 300.

 

And then I caught BTCC.

Yeah, i've ditched F1 for Touring Car Championships since 2 F1 seasons ago due to F1's incompetency in entertaining me with its nonsensical rulings and politics.. TCCs are the way to go! You might even see the race version of your own car!

  • 10 sweet wedding songs

    Two months ago, I listed 10 songs that had no business being played at a wedding. Many were about the inability to move on after a breakup or worse: Songs sung from the perspective of a third party! So, this time around, it's time to highlight 10 songs that can be played on the first day of a couple's married life. 10) All Of You - Julio Iglesias & Diana Ross This song is clearly about someone who wants everything that the love of their life has to offer. It is well
