Red Bull Speed Street Singapore

Location - Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, Orchard Road

Start24-APR-2011 at 4:00 PM
End24-APR-2011 at 6:00 PM
 
Come 24 April, Formula 1 legend and former Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard who will give a demonstration of the awesome power of a Formula 1 car along one of the world's most famous thoroughfares - Orchard Road, which is better known as a shoppers' paradise around the globe.

The event will be organised by Spectrum Worldwide, the event management company responsible for organising iconic events such as the massively successful OCBC Cycle Singapore and the 2010 Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore.

The last time that a Red Bull Racing showcar performed in Singapore was back in February 2008 as a special item in that year's Chingay Parade. It was the first time that the Singapore public had experienced the thunderous engine note of a F1 car, months before the inaugural Singapore night race took place in Marina Bay. But even then, it was a mere sneak peek as the F1 car segment lasted barely five minutes before the Chingay Parade proper.

This time round, the Red Bull Speed Street event will be a full fledged standalone showcar event lasting about an hour, in which the public can expect manoeuvres such as short sprints, burnouts, engine breaks and donuts, which one won't get to see in actual F1 races.

The Singapore event will cover an 800m stretch from the ION Orchard/Marriott Hotel, Scotts Road/Orchard Road junction to the Heeren and Mandarin Gallery.

The Austrian energy drink company, which is fast gaining in popularity amongst F1 aficionados thanks to the double championship winning feat of Red Bull Racing in 2010, is expecting crowds of up to 100,000 spectators to line this stretch of Orchard Road, which is rarely opened to such mega sporting events, especially on a peak Sunday afternoon.

Red Bull is also working closely with Singapore Grand Prix, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) to make the event a reality.

Fans in Singapore can also expect a host of motor racing related activities over at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza where the main VIP area and pit garage will be situated. Red Bull has roped in partners like Sony Computer Entertainment and Audi to engage motor sports enthusiasts, who can get up close to a rare Audi R8 LMS as well as the gorgeous Audi TT RS on display.

Gaming fans can attempt to break Sebastian Vettel’s record in the Red Bull X2010 supercar within the Sony PlayStation 3 GT5 gaming zone or experience what it is like to drive an F1 car on the Singapore night race circuit on four SGP simulators. There will also be Red Bull Racing merchandises on sale and a photo exhibition featuring past show car events around the world.

extensive network of retailers in Japan.

opportunities in Japan. The company said it will be able to tap on

Singapore Exchange Ranks Third in Global IPO Update: Ernst & Young

US private equity-backed listings drove global IPO activity in the

first quarter, with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) taking the

lead, according to Ernst & Young’s first-quarter 2011 global IPO

update.

However, Asia still dominated the listings, with the Shenzhen Stock
 
Exchange and Singapore Exchange (SGX) ranking second and

third respectively in terms of total capital raised globally.

Ernst & Young said the last few weeks of the quarter saw choppy

stock markets spiked by the Japanese disaster and Middle Eastern

political unrest. This slowed down the overall pace of global IPO

activity, particularly in Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, it said.

However, the professional services giant said in a statement that

there is still a healthy pipeline of companies wanting to tap into the

capital markets.

In the first three months of the year, global IPO activity saw 290

deals worth US$46.1 billion, down 14 per cent compared with the

same period last year.

For the first time since 2008, the NYSE took the lead among the

world’s exchanges, raising US$13.8 billion of the total capital,

followed by the US$11.2 billion raised on the Shenzhen Stock

Exchange and US$5.6 billion raised by the Singapore Exchange.

SGX’s figure was mainly due to Hutchison Port Holdings’ initial

public offering that raised US$5.5 billion.

Ernst & Young said the listing of Hutchison Port Holdings has

boosted SGX’s standing, and reflects the exchange’s strength in

sectors such as shipping and maritime, commodities, REITs and

business trusts.

Australian Treasurer Officially Rejects ASX-SGX Merger Proposal

Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan Friday officially rejected the

proposed merger of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and the

Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

SGX said in a statement that under the circumstances, both parties

“have agreed to mutually terminate the merger implementation

agreement entered into on 25 October 2010.”

“As Asia’s most international exchange, we will continue to pursue

organic as well as other strategic growth opportunities, including

further dialogue with ASX on other forms of cooperation,” it added.

In strongly-worded language, Swan said the proposal was not a

merger but “a takeover that would see Australia’s financial sector

become a subsidiary to a competitor in Asia.”

He said Australia’s “economic and regulatory sovereignty over the

ASX would be at risk” if the deal succeeded, adding that “given the

size and nature of the SGX, the opportunities that were offered

under the proposal were clearly not sufficient to justify this loss of

sovereignty.”

Still, Swan maintained that the Australian government’s longstanding

policy has been to welcome foreign investment.

SGX rose 2.8 per cent to close at S$8.38 on Friday following the

announcement of Australia’s official rejection of the deal.

Speaking to Biz Daily by phone on Friday, Ng Kian Teck, Investment

Analyst at SIAS Research, said: “This rejection is not necessarily

a bad thing because SGX can put its money to better use

such as possible mergers and collaborations with other ASEAN

(Association of Southeast Asian Nations) exchanges.”

According to analysts, Australia’s attitude could result in ASX

falling behind its peers at a time when other exchanges are

consolidating.

Recent cases include the Deutsche Boerse AG-NYSE Euronext

merger and the proposed tie-up between the London Stock

Exchange and TMX Group, operator of the Toronto Stock

Exchange.

Despite Swan’s decision, ASX reiterated in a statement on Friday

its “ongoing belief in the need for ASX participation in regional and

global exchange consolidation.”

“ASX will continue to evaluate strategic growth opportunities,

including further dialogue with SGX on other forms of combination

and cooperation,” the statement added.

Swan’s official rejection confirmed the sentiments of the majority of

readers who were polled by Biz Daily since October 27 last year,

soon after the merger proposal was announced.

When asked whether they thought the proposed SGX-ASX merger

would succeed, 61 per cent of Biz Daily readers who responded

said “No”, while 31 per cent said “Yes”. Only 8 per cent said they

were uncertain.
