The Legion of Racers (LOR) Festival of Speed Arena of Speed is up and running at the Grange Road carpark behind 313 Somerset.
As part of the Grand Prix Season Singapore 2019, part of Orchard Road and Jewel will play host to the inaugural LOR Festival of Speed from 13 to 22 September.
Over 24 hours from 18 September, the empty carpark was transformed into a karting track complete with barricades and a chequered flag.

Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) as part of the Grand Prix Season Singapore (GPSS) umbrella of events, the Festival of Speed is being organised by e-sports company LOR which organises Singapore’s first SIM racing league.
The LOR Festival of Speed will be made up of multiple programming which also includes the transformation of the open-air car park at Grange Road opposite Cineleisure Orchard into a go-karting track, a first in Singapore.
See time-lapse video which was posted on Legion of Racers Facebook below.

Among the guests who got into go-karts were Britain’s Ambassador to Singapore Ms Kara Owen who paid a visit to the Arena of Speed on 19 September.

马国六消防员 为搜救溺水少年集体殉职

为救难而牺牲!马国六名消防拯救人员,于昨晚进入雪兰莪蒲种一个废矿湖,尝试拯救一名失踪者,不幸被急流冲走,全数罹难。 当时,消防局在昨日傍晚5时,接获民众投报,指蒲种Taman Putra Perdana地区,有一名17岁少年失足坠落出口水闸门,遭急流冲至废矿湖,下落不明。 消防部门随即动员莎阿南、赛博再也和巴生消防局,超过15名消防员前往现场搜救。 消防部队在晚上8时55分抵达现场,六名来自巴生港口消防局和莎阿南消防局的潜水队,以蛙人装备潜入水中搜救。 六人身上都连接绑着安全绳索,但是,矿湖中激流汹涌,水流太急,六名消防人员瞬间被卷入激流漩涡中,即便岸上同僚极力拉住绳索,但还是拯救失败。 同僚费了半个小时把溺水消防员拉上岸,但经过抢救,已回天乏术。 六名殉职消防员,年龄介于34至24岁: 马国消防拯救局随后表示,这是当局有史以来首次出现最多消防员殉职溺毙的事件。至于失踪的17岁少年仍在搜救中,至今仍未寻获。 六名消防员的遗体也在今早送往莎阿南消防局,由长官和同僚们致最后敬礼,再运返家乡。
