If you can’t beat them, join ’em – Vanessa Mulquiney and Charlene Fang round up a few necessary items to get you through Singapore’s inaugural F1 race

Rain, rain go away
Since umbrellas have been banned from the track, this cut-to-fit raincoat will ensure you stay dry.
$19, Muji







Pledge your allegiance
Get some track cred by association… this Red Bull Racing T-shirt should do the job. Oh, and if anyone asks, your drivers are David Coulthard and Mark Webber.
$59, Puma




Red-hot cool
Don your team colours and cover yourself in a trademark Ferrari number, complete with the all important Dancing Horse emblem.
$89, Puma

Ready, set, snap
With a shutter speed of 1/8000 of a second, a 12-60mm lens and what has been tested as the world’s fastest auto-focusing system, the Olympus E3 is well equipped to capture those speed-racers.
$2,699 (camera body only, includes 2GB memory card), Olympus



Small wonder
Since you can’t zip around a track at 300kph, why not settle instead for some toy car action?
$150, Nikko Toys







Peace offering
Give your ears a break from the track noise with Bose’s QC3 Noise-Cancelling Headphones.
$699, The Atlas

Experience Eagle-eye vision
If you’re stuck at the back or just want to sneak a peek at some hottie, you’ll need a pair of Stilva Binoculars.
$69, Campers’ Corner
Cool down
It’ll be hot out on the track. Stay fresh with a few handy spritzes of an Evian Facial Spray.
$10.50, Guardian Health & Beauty







Strut the track
You’ve got to talk the talk and walk the walk if you want to fit in. These red-hot La Mussa sneakers should help you kick it with the F1 crowd.
$173, Puma


Silence is golden
Equipped to reduce sound by 29 decibels, these squishy Bilson foam plugs will do just the trick.
