Fernando Alonso won Inaugural Singapore Grand Prix a few moments ago. In the process he became the first man to win a night race. Singapore was the latest circuit to hold a Grand Pix and it was the first time that a race was held in the night. I'm not a Fomula One (like Channa is) fan but I did watch this race cause it was one of a kind. The race track was lit up by around 1500 lights powered by 24 generators with 110 KM of cable connecting them together. It was also said that the race track is lit so that no two adjacent lights could go off. Pretty impressive and on top of that (Literally over the race track) a grand stand that could hold 38,000 spectators.
It was a bad race for Kimi Raikkonen cause he crashed out with just four laps to go. He was in fourth place at the moment and was in position to pick up championship points.
Whats more Massa of the Ferrari team pulled out of the pit stop (It wasn't his fault because the light was green when he pulled off) with his fuel horse still connected. Not a good race for a few of the top guns.

It was an awesome race, not least because Alonso (my personal favorite) won.
I'm glad you enjoyed it; hopefully you're hooked now!
