Singapore to turn airport runway into race track

Singapore's Changi Airport is having a runway race on 5 September in which a Porsche Carrera race car will be up against a Boeing 747.

The airport is touting it as "the first-ever jetliner versus car race in Asia" and says it ties in with the lead-up to the Singapore Grand Prix in late September.

Singapore cargo airline Jett8 is providing the 747.
