Me too! Night F1 race for me too!
We may be the first country to host a night F1 race but we might not be alone in this for long.
Malaysia is currently investigating something similar for their 2009 race. According to the organiser Mokhzani Mahathir, 2008 will could be the last time Malaysia will hold a daylight race.Mokhzani told the New Straits Times that he is investigating on the prospect of night time racing.
"Our target is to have the race at night next year and the same consultants who are doing the lighting for the Singapore grand prix are advising us on our lighting system," Mahathir said.
The main reason these two Asian countries are going dark on F1 racing is that Asia is several hours away from the main markets of the sport. Therefore most people who watch and support F1 have to wake up in the middle of the night just to watch the Asian leg of the race.
Malaysia would need a different lighting system to Singapore since the latter is not a permanent circuit. Several drivers have commented on driving under bright lights, a seriously potentially dangerous scenario considering that F1 cars do not have headlights of their own.
