There have, been some changes to the FIA rules and
some of these are summarised below.
F-­DUCTS AND DOUBLE DIFFUSERS
Both F-­ducts and double diffusers have been banned
as have any systems, devices or procedures which
use driver movement as a means of altering the
aerodynamic characteristics of the car. The F-­ducts and
double diffusers were meant to promote overtaking
but not achieve their objective.
Secretary’s desk
ADJUSTABLE REAR WINGS
In the place of F-­ducts and Double Diffusers are the
adjustable rear wings. The idea behind the adjustable
rear wing is that in certain parts of the circuit a following
driver will get a signal that he can momentarily activate
the control that opens the gap between the upper
and lower wing planes, in order to boost straight-­ line
speed by reducing drag. This can only be activated
when the driver is less than one second behind another
at pre-­determined points on the track. The driver in
front cannot activate his rear wing, thus conferring a

training modules and will be reintroduced into the

RETURN OF PIRELLI
Pirelli has replaced Bridgestone as the supplier of tyres.
The Pirelli tyres have been designed to degrade much
quicker than the Bridgestone tyres that have been
used for the last 13 years. This could result in up to four
pit stops for some races, which will make for a busy time

Barely 6 months prior, after our volunteer marshal stint

content to wait a whole year for more action. By end

to wrangle 2 weeks off work, allowing us a minimum
of 4 full days of pure holidaying fun, other than the
scheduled 4 days on track for each race. Adelaide
is the capital of South Australia and its population
numbers about 1.2 million, spread out over an easy-­

known as “The City of Churches” and was immediately
apparent why once we entered the city.

Just when I thought our fun had ended and we had to
start our 4-­day “work” stint, I was proven entirely wrong!
True, the marshals/rules/organisation there was no less
professional than at any other race worldwide but
they certainly knew how to put together a race! The
Clipsal 500 (named for sponsor Clipsal Electronics) is
the largest domestic motorsport event in Australia and
is just 1 leg of the V8 Supercar Championship Series. Its
venue, the Victoria Park Racecourse, started off hosting
the Australian Grand Prix in 1985 and continued for 11
years until the GP moved to Melbourne. In 1999, the
V8 Supercars took over this track and have not looked
back since.
I was struck by how the atmosphere could be so laidback

With a population of 4 million, Melbourne, the capital of
Victoria, has a more big-­city vibe and being larger and
more spread out than Adelaide; we greatly relied on
the trams to get around. Fortunately, our hostel was just
across a tram stop and mere minutes from Albert Park,
the AGP venue. We had, again, 1.5 days to run amok
in Melbourne, which we did. Typical Singaporeans that
we are, we just had to hit the factory outlets, namely
Harbour Town and DFO. Thank goodness for the races

wisdom and the occasional Aussie catchphrase to us
visitors.

In essence, the 2 racetracks and the 2 cities couldn’t be
more different, and yet we all thoroughly enjoyed it all.
My travelling party had Aussie contacts from when they
came to Singapore for the GPs plus we made many
more friends in our time there. They were all fabulously
generous with their time, good cheer and warmth. It
greatly touched us that even newfound friends thought

their car boots so they’d have enough space to give
us rides to and from the racetracks, or sharing their only
jacket with a sunbaked foreigner unused to the chill.
With so many positives, there is, however, a huge con
to consider. If you don’t have the money or time to
spare to do this again the next year (and the year after,
and so on), then you might just regret having done this

Succession planning is important to ensure
leadership continuity and individual
advancement.
This is the fourth year that Singapore will be hosting
the Grand Prix. It also brings about key changes within
the race organization. It is understood that this is part
of SGP’s succession planning effort to identify and
develop talent to ensure leadership continuity for key
positions in the organization.
Chairman of the Race Organizing Committee, Gabriel
Tan commented, “We have started this succession
planning process in our effort to ensure leadership
continuity and individual advancement.”

responsibilities with guidance and mentorship from
2010 Chiefs.
According to Janette Tan, SGP’s race operations
manager, “Changes are important to any organizations
as we need to adjust according to the requirements
of the business, as well as the development of the
individual.”
Janette herself will assume the role of Assistant Clerk of
the Course (Operations) this year. Her 2 previous roles
were Deputy Sector Marshal (2008) and also Chief
Marshal (2009 & 2010). This year, Koo Ping-­Tsien will take
on the Chief Marshal role with Janette acting as mentor
to him.
