Macau Grand Prix 2012 澳門格蘭披治大賽車
chin:
I am staying in the Grand Lisboa this time. My room is overlooking the Lisboa Corner of the race track!
So 7:30 or so in the morning, I already heard Vroom Vroom Vroom, from the moterbike practice runs. I took the last picture from my bath tub.
This is the first time I watch racing live. It was REALLY loud!
chin:
Today (17-Nov Sat) I went to the Lisboa Stand, where the ticket is most expenive. Why? See below.
chin:
The Lisboa corner is one of the most dangerous spot in the track. It's at the end of a long wide stretch where race cars can run very fast. The corner is a 90 degree turn. Thus if the driver is not careful, it's one of the most likely spot to have accident.
You can see righ after the turn, the cushing on the far side is special. The guy sat next to me said the wires can catch cars. Whatever is means. The crane at the inside corner is ready to pick up the wreckage if any car hit the side.
The first pic is an example of the driver lost control, and lost lots of position for that mistake.
chin:
The eventual winner & the runner up.
In the first picture, the blue car #33 was in the 4th position. By the last lap, it caught up to be the 2nd right behind the front runner.
The 2nd pic shows another attempt by the blue car driver to past the front runner.
I was told by my friend that the blue car driver is a young guy doing very well in races, but always seconds and thirds. The winner in the red car #27 is a very experienced driver in his 40s.
chin:
My friend's car.
He did not finish. I was told that he hit some oil slicks on the road, and the car lost control. He's fine without injury.
