Oh yes, yesterday’s event with Darren Heath began with a screening of this video. It shows Red Bull’s Mark Webber in a digitally animated simulation of a lap of the Singapore Grand Prix. Among all the simulations I’ve seen, this one is the best. The animation and the sound are spot on. Turn up the volume when watching it!
I hope the racing is as good as the battle between Webber and Vettel in that video, although I know side-by-side racing along straights in F1 nowadays is very rare. Heh, Vettel spins in the clip and somehow manages to catch up with Webber by the end of the lap - more fantasy stuff. Oh, Webber’s narration is pretty good too. Except that he makes Padang sound like Penang. His pronunciation of Esplanade is a bit suspect too, come to think of it.
The next video shows McLaren’s special preparations for the night race. Don’t let it be said that their outfit is stuffy and mechanical. Would your CEO do a video like this?

Watching the video gives me a better appreciation why there are so many F1 fans!
