THANKS to an invitation from SC Global Developments Ltd, 40 children, caregivers and staff from Beyond Social Services were able to experience the heart-stopping moments of Formula One and the Porsche SC Global Carrera Cup Asia.

The property developer also donated $5,000 to the charity – which aims to help children and youth from disadvantaged backgrounds – in aid of its learning support programme.
The 40 children, aged six to 14, went for the practise sessions of the FI and the Porsche SC Global Carrera Cup Asia yesterday. On top of that, they also visited the Porsche support paddock, where they sat in the cockpit of the SC Global racing car and had their photo taken with SC Global’s driver, Danny Watts.
To sweeten the treat, the children also received a miniature model of SC Global’s race car as a memento.
Said SC Global chairman and chief executive Simon Cheong: ‘We are delighted to take the children to the Grand Prix – it is very heartwarming to see the excitement on their faces as the cars roar by.
‘While they may not all aspire to become racing drivers, perhaps this experience might stir in them big dreams of their own.’
Since 2008, SC Global has partnered Porsche Asia-Pacific to present the Singapore leg of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia (PCCA) – which supports several rounds of the F1 season.
