Thanks for the video, as an F1 fan, I never knew this was the old circuit back in the days. I sped thru it many times at night, no wonder the place is spooky with all the great history.

I am happy to say that I had witnessed a few SIngapore Grand Prix then. It helped that it was held near my old house. As a kid, my father would drive me and a few others to a kampung and sneaked in foc! I remembered the sarabat stall on a hilltop. (Tea Kiosk). It sells tea O and curry puffs. In the forested area along Old Upper Thomson Road, a duck rice stall was set up in the forest.(with plastic disposal spoon). I remembered Geoff Perry(No 10) and A Motohasi (No 22) on their bikes.

When I saw this video in the search bar, I said to my self, "What the fuck, why has he put 1966 for the Singapore Grand Prix?"

Well, you learn something new everyday... Didn't realise Singapore had Motorsporting history!
