Night race for Singapore?

F1 organisers are still hoping that the Singapore race in September next year will be held at night.

The Singapore newspaper Today on Monday quoted Singapore GP's communications director, Jonathan Hallett, as saying that race organisers and corporate partners were in full support of a night race.He said spectators would find it more comfortable than a day race in view of the hot climate.

"We will carry out a night race only if the FIA and Formula One Administration find that the safety of drivers and spectators is not compromised, " he said. The provisional calendar issued by the FIA last week shows the Singapore circuit as awaiting approval.
