Singapore Grand Prix 1961-1973
this is the Singapore grand prix 1961 to 1973 track layout. Lap record:
Lap Record 1:54.9 (Leo Geoghegan, OpenDNS, 1973) Can we do this lap now i wonder ... do the roads still exist? They got a nice book on it too: Snakes & Devils and the most burning question of all, the last Singaporean who won this coveted GP, Rodney Seow, is he TotoSeow's father? Thomson Road Grand Prix circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Singapore Grand Prix 1961-1973
Yah, the track is practically there. The inner road is haunted if you believe in that kind of thing... many peeps with third eye say one. I would not go there on a wet day nor at nite.
Slight OT, P.S Cafe at dempsey hill... i went there with 2 peeps with 3rd eye and they both saw something but didn't tell me until we left.
