Changi Motorsports Hub to be ready by end next year?

[Pinkypink]

Finally they announced the winning bidder for the upcoming Changi Motorsports Hub.

 

S$330 million investment!? Purely privately-funded, fwah that's a LOT of money man. How quickly can they make it profitable?

 

The permanent race track will be able to host any race except F1 - so F1 will remain on our street circuit?

 

Anyway, it's said to be ready by end next year - for 41-ha, possible?

 

Anyone here excited about this? You think this will help our local motorsports scene improve more?

 

 

PRESS RELEASE

 

SG Changi wins bid for Changi Motorsports Hub

 

Singapore, Friday, March 26, 2010

It's not a high rise condo!

Most likely jsut two storey kind of longish building like the F1 pit ( Which also build very fast).

Laying the track is even simpler.

So I think early 2012 is possible!

[Cavver]

I heard that there is a subaru serie and a fomula Geely serie held in 2012

[Ithunk]

next race to bring is motogp

[Ithunk]

formula nippon is also not bad.....

formula geely?!

[Yellowrx8]

At last we can burn some rubber instead of going up north. Better bid for petrol station outside the track,confirm sibei ho tan...

[Shull]

SG Changi will invest S$330 million to develop the Changi Motorsports Hub

[Pinkypink]

haha what facilities should they have ah?

 

i know, race queen school!! haha

[Benarsenal]

It seems very commercial leh. A lot of extras not related to motorsport. (Most likely to generate $$)

 

Fingers crossed though. Maybe we can even have a Top Gear Singapore show, using the track.

It's a first china one-make open wheel race series by Geely. you can try google, i heard it is relatively cheap to start off motorsport career there.

 

[Cavver]

with JERKKKRKKRKRKR as the Singaporean STIG

 

 

I second that .

 

He just need to drive and nothing else.

 

But driving well will be a question.

[Zyrofillica]

this track is designed for motoGP right? anyone has an idea of how good a track designed for bikes be for cars?

just like all things in sg, its the real estate portion that will make all the money... leases to car shops, workshops, entertainment complexes, food courts, etc.... the race component is just an upside.

[Qr25vet]

I bet the track fees are gonna be damn high...thats for sure...cos the only track in SG ma...and dont be suprised that it'll be a hunting ground for TP and ROV as well

When many many years ago... asked to build a race track in sg... they declined... now looking at neighbour's results... they finally decided to get a piece of the pie too... still the same monkey theory...

[Higgsboson]
