The whole track really needs to be changed.

1. Move the Turn 1,2,3 grandstand a bit further and combine T1,2,3 into a Hairpain followed by a chicane.

2. Keep the bumps. i like to see some sparks coming out of the back of the cars.

3. Keep T10 the way it is. but removing those HUGEEE concrete blocks.

4. Combine T22 and 23 into a slow 90 degrees left hander. (but im not sure this would work because there wouldnt be much run off areas left)

ive put together a REALLY simple drawing of my modification (im not good with photoshop etc). Black lines represent the modification and the purple line represents the pit lane entry.

There really isnt much you can do about the track because of the layout of the streets. With my modification T1 would be the only overtaking point of the track.

The only changes I’d make to the track would be to the pits, the exit & entry are dangerous so should be changed, other than that they should leave it as it is.

We’ve had lots of changes to the cars this season so should keep the tracks as unchanged as possible to give us an honest comparison.

I’m getting sick of them changing the tracks too, it all starts off with good intentions but you end up with a corner like the new Bus Stop at Spa.
Unless it’s to prevent serious accidents they should leave them alone.

I like the turn 10 chicane too. A little idiosyncracy that, if left unchanged, will become an iconic corner of the Marina Bay circuit.

So leave the damn bumps alone. And for that matter, give Monaco’s Sainte Devote its barriers back!

Turn 10 tortoises can be removed. But I would like if they raised the curbs like Magny Cours. We would have shots of cars first on their right wheels; then left; then right again ! ! !

Pit-lane entrance could be changed; but how? I have no clue

I also like the Bay grandstand – it was me that was sitting there Keith – where the cars go between your legs as it were. Truly unique and amazing to watch. Plus if you ever want to go deaf, go stand in the tunnel there when 3 or 4 cars are coming through – should do the job nicely.

Definitely the pit entrance should be changed though. Dangerous and unsightly.

But i wouldnt mind in the slightest if they didnt change it at all as i thought i was just fantastic!

I don’t like that all tracks are billiard table smooth but so long as wings are allowed teams will choose to make drivers suffer rather than compromise performance by raising the ride height and softening the suspension. Drivers will always choose a competitive car ove a car with better ride.

The biggest problem for me is the marshalls. They were utterly incompetent and any remotely serious accident could easily have resulted in a death. It is unacceptable that they were allowed to be so bad once but if it were to happen again and a serious injury or worse resulted the FIA should end up in court and those reponsible should be locked up and have the key thrown away.

Pitlane – Maybe they could start the pitlane from T20 and run it round the back of the Singapore Flyer and then round to the pits. It would make one very long entry to the pitlane, but it would be a safer option.

and keep the bumps.

The guy’s had enough problems with his leg, I wouldn’t want him suffering a speech-threatening tongue injury as well.

But then again, why would you put your tongue between your teeth anyway? And wouldn’t a more Stig-like mute Webber be more enigmatic? On second thoughts, keep the bumps.

There was only one modification that I felt was needed to Turn 10 and it was made before qualifying last year. Given how effective the first line of “tortoises” was at deterring chicane-cutters, the second line of them simply made it harder for drivers to do anything about mistakes. While a left-hander could work there, it wouldn’t be as interesting for drivers or spectators. At least Singapore is a track with more than one interesting corner…

The bumps, while large, were fine, and worked especially well in the night because of the sparks generated. It’s not a comfortable circuit, but then a calender with 18 comfy circuits would be rather dull.

Whether re-profiling the original complex is worthwhile depends on what they do with it. Those three turns are not doing what they were supposed to do but I’m not sure a better solution could be completed without running into planning permission issues.

The pit straight is a mess and really, really needs sorting out. I can hope that the 1/2/3 reconfiguration encompasses a better pit exit, but someone needs to tell the organisers that the pit entry needs sorting out as well because it is currently an unnecessary hazard.

As for the marshalls, their performance was sub-standard. Hopefully a year of doing F1, plus whatever other races they marshall at, will improve performance. One does wonder how the theoretical speed they must presumably have showed at some point (to be permitted to marshal, you have to do efficient work at some race…) was lost when F1 came to town.

Let the track run all the way to Republic Avenue. After that it’s one left turn into Republic Boulevard, which will be long and straight like Raffles Boulevard. By doing that turn 5 will be an overtaking spot just like turn 7.

Other than that, keep the chicane and keep the bumps. It made it a challenge for drivers to stay on the track, and isn’t that the what F1 is all about? Obviously, I want it to be safe, but it is supposed to be the ultimate motoring challenge – not something that could be said about Malaysia or Bahrain (unless the challenge is meant to be fighting off boredom).
