10 reasons why F1 race can be held at the new Johor Bahru CIQ
June 2nd, 2009 lawrence.gan
1. The long and winding road from Causeway to the Johor Bahru CIQ will whip up sufficient challenge that can even rival Monaco.
2. The Causeway can act as the Grid to form up (Cars to face Malaysia of course).
3. The Custom booths can act as the pitstops (But first, the HUMPs need to be removed).
4. Mat Rempits have already tested the course at full speed (howbeit on 2 wheels only).
5. Plenty of scenery.. you have the sun, sea and the Selamat Datang signboard.
6. Petronas can sponsor the petrol (optional, else Ferrari will threaten to withdraw from the race).
7. Milo can be the official drink sponsor (optional, else Red Bull will threaten to withdraw from the race).
8. Second Link can be used while the race is ongoing.
9. The traffic police can perform the role as the safety car driver (as they are used to escorting VIPs at fast speed).
10. Meshed fences has already been installed along the roads. No need seats. Spectators can just stand outside the fences and enjoy teh tarik while watching the race. And this will bring back the business to Jalan Wong Ah Fook!

Driving towards the CIQ sure feels like F1 at times. There was this Malaysian Registered EVO that attempted to cut me through a corner last week and we almost got into an accident. Still dare to point finger at me somemore!
