The unusual start time will ensure not only a unique spectacle, but an ideal daytime live television slot for European viewers.

"It will be great fun for the people of Singapore and Formula One, but I hope they have checked all the safety issues," Williams' Nico Rosberg told the local Electric New Paper.

Singapore is one of three street circuits on the 2008 calendar, along with Valencia and the famous Monaco Grand Prix.

"I always like visiting somewhere new and learning a new track and the fact this will be the first ever night race means it will be particularly special and memorable," said veteran David Coulthard.
