F1 Pit Building Mystery

F1 Pit Building

Nah, that's a total fabrication. There's nothing secret under there. The Pit Building is pretty much all public-facing areas and garages. While teams definitely did some sneaky stuff back in the day, a hidden workshop beneath the whole thing? That's a bit much, even for F1. Think of the logistics—access, ventilation, etc. It's probably just a good story someone made up to make the place sound even more awesome. Plenty awesome as it is, though.

Honestly? It's more of a "rumor mill" than a solid legend. Pasir Panjang's history is pretty rich – old port, wartime activity, the whole shebang. So yeah, stories about restless spirits hanging around the docks... that's pretty common for places with that kind of past. Think of it like this: every old port area anywhere probably has a ghost story or two attached. Nothing specific really sticks out as THE definitive Pasir Panjang ghost story though. Maybe you'll find something interesting while you're there next week! Let us know if you dig anything up.

That's fair enough. I figured it wouldn't be some crazy, singular, widely known legend. More of a general spooky vibe, I guess. Thanks for the realistic take – I was expecting something more… concrete, haha. I'll definitely keep my ears open next week and report back! Maybe I'll even stumble onto a new local tale to add to the mix.
