The 1322bhp hypercar appeared there for demonstration purposes and was said to be running on standard aero setup and regular fuel, hence it wasn't in the optimum set up for achieving the best possible lap time.

 

That said, it still did an unofficial fastest laptime of 2:17.57 minute, almost 2 seconds faster than a 2012 Nissan R35 GT-R.

 

Robert Serwanski was quoted after the laps:

 

“We had to take care of the brakes a little. It was an oversight on our part, but we didn’t put new pads in before shipping the car to Japan and we didn’t bring fresh pads with us. Hard braking was an issue as a result, which will influence the speed at which you approach a corner. While we were carrying an extra person in the car in all of our laps, this wasn’t a big factor. It does affect your steering and braking at the limit, but we were not at the limit today.”

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
