Singapore - A Porsche 911 sports car squeezed ahead of a Boeing 747 in a head-to-head 1.7 km road race at Singapore Airport Saturday, in a stunt to publicize this month's Grand Prix race in the city state. The car and the plane raced on separate runways 200 metres apart at Changi airport, with the Porsche crossing the finish line a split second ahead of the jetliner, organizers said.

The Boeing, however, had got off the faster start.

It had been organized to mark the Singapore F1 Grand Prix Race scheduled for September 25-27.
