I only saw a bit of the race, but it's looking like a damn good show by Ferrari this year.

Amazing Hotels on BBC1.... wonder in Ben can tell us if tourism in Singapore really has stepped up a notch following completion of the Marina Bay Sands? Where do all these tourists come from? What do they do and how long is a typical stay in Singapore? Quite so. I think the F1 race in particular has brought in a huge wave of tourism, not just for the event, but also in helping promote Singapore as a hip and trendy place to party and indulge. The opening of Marina Bay Sands and the Resorts World in Sentosa has brought in lots of world class attractions like restaurants and fun stuff (the Universal Studios theme park for one) to attract these folks to stay and play. I'm guessing a lot of these tourists are from the usual places (Europe and America), but as well there are masses of visitors from fast developing economies like China and India as well. I figure a good number of these are also transiting tourists, in town for a few days before continuing on their journeys towards the rest of Asia (wherever that might be). Also we seem to be getting more and more events (like the recent Coldplay concert, and some high profile football matches) which brings in a fair number of people from around the region all on their own.

I thought that was probably the best episode so far this series. The Twingo bit had a whiff of old, old Top Gear about it (the Tiff/VBH era), and I thought that was nice.
The Chiron is amazing, and the race wasn't bad too, although the chummy bits at the end felt a bit unnecessary.
Good effort though.

When I was in Australia I watched the Twenty20 version and I sort of got it (a little). But it's not for me.

Some dick of an Uber passenger left used candy wrappers in my rear door bin pocket. Furious would not even begin to describe my feelings right now.

I think I'll still hang around both places until the old one dies, either naturally or forcefully.
