Formula One, Proton
Did you know that Proton owns Lotus?
I’ve always assumed them as brothers company. Little did I know, Proton’s the parent company of Lotus!
A little background info about Proton’s involvement in F1:
Affiliation in Formula One through Group Lotus sponsorship of the Lotus Renault Grand Prix Team.
PROTON supports Group Lotus and LRGP at F1 races.
First day of the Formula 1™
Sponsor: Proton Malaysia
Venue: Clarke Quay Central
Purpose: Road Show
Proton’s showcase, experiencing the F1’s atmosphere on the race’s practice night.
A combination of hot models and flashy cars, the main attraction of Formula one was entirely displayed right at the show.
Apart from the eye opening exhibition, Proton also introduced the Agility game to the public!
Referring to the last 3rd picture, where you see the couple in action.
The lights positioned at different corners of the machine- lights up automatically,
players are to tap on them as fast as possible.
Guess what’s the coolest part?
“F1 racers practice on the machine on a regular basis to train their agility!”
Interestingly, my boyfriend actually attained the highest score that night at 67 hits. SAY WHAT?
Maybe we’ve found ourselves a possible F1 racer in Sg?
Haha.. that I’m not so sure, but at least he won tickets to the F1 after-party @ one altitude by Proton~
Just as I was disappointed about having only 1 ticket to the event myself, luck came shining upon on us!
“Happiness is when you least expects it.” so true.

Second day of the Formula 1™
An exclusive visit to the Paddock.
For the past years, I’ve watched the races and had the opportunity to be involved with the show last year,
I’m just more than pleased to be covering the “backstage of the show” this time, on my blog~ 
In case you’re wondering, the guys above are bloggers-representative from Malaysia; Proton’s country of origin!
Thankfully for them (Tianchad and Akiraceo, who’re absolutely comfortable in snapping excessive amount of photos;
like myself, making the above extensive photography coverage of my experience possible!
I can’t exclaim enough how amazing it was to actually witness the live-action at the garage.
Fortunately, I brought along my compact camera to capture the rare moment:

Second day Formula 1™ after party at One Altitude
F1 period is always packed with parties and the experience would have been incomplete without this…
I mean, what’s comparable to a view at 60+ storey?
Proton booked the entire restaurant and open bar at 1 altitude, just for it’s guests!
Spectacular view, delectable food and the best companions, what more can I ask for?
A pity that I’m not a fan of alcohol but at least, it was heaven for my friends!
The bartender and servers kept treating us to tequila, they took at least 4 shots each; including the defence on my behalf.
It was a great socializing session between us and Proton’s corporate team,
all while enjoying the race in our very own privacy- A peaceful moment for my eardrums,
especially with the engagement of the live band, serenading us with their great voices!

Formula 1™ Final Race!
Having to attend the final party after the race…
I had to bear with my wedges and dress, because I’m extremely lazy to lug around a change of clothes.
Despite expecting the intolerable sweat and crowd, it was a race I couldn’t miss!

Pardon me, but thumbs up for the two crashes!
You can’t deny, that’s the best part of the race! After all, the result was already more or less definite.
With the new additional of architectures around the pit, the night scenery’s definitely more breath taking now than ever.
Thank you Proton for the eye-opener and giving me this opportunity to share it with my readers!
Hopefully, I will be given the same chance next year ♥
