F1 Driving School in Thailand















This week Singapore media is a buzzed with F1 news... touted as the first night race ever. Everybody jumped into the fray.. lifestyle events like a private jet exhibition, celebrity party etc. Even Johnnie Walker is promoting a safe driving theme (with whisky?) on the grounds. Anything and everything that can be construed and linked to the F1 event.

I took a walk to the Esplanade to check out the street circuit. Much of the circuit is actually on reclaimed land. Only the section from Anderson Bridge, around the City Hall, World War II Memorial to Suntec City junction are not.
















Something came to mind though, my Thai friend, Somphop, is a car lover. He once told me he took lessons at a F1 school in Pattaya.

It's the Taki Racing School, the first and only F1 school in S.E. Asia. Here it is if you are a serious F1 fan and like to have a spin while in Thailand, this is where you find them.
