This is going to be pretty cool…
February 19, 2008
So now that (some) people have tickets, the excitement is bound to start building to what will certainly be the most interesting race on the F1 circuit this year… New location, street racing, and of course, the first time ever at night. And if you want to get a first impression of what a night race might feel like, take a look at this…

Singapore to qualify in the dark
February 14, 2008
Looks like at least some of the Singapore Grand Prix’s practice sessions are going to be held at night, according to the latest race timetables published by the FIA. Obviously it makes sense to allow the drivers to get used to the effects of the lighting and adjust to the unique conditions of a night race, but God help anyone trying to get an early night in the area!
Practice sessions 1 and 2 will take place from 4pm to 5.30pm and 8pm to 9.30pm respectively on Friday 26th. Session 3 will be at 5pm on Saturday 27th, with qualifying following at 8pm.
The race, of course, is on Sunday 28th at 8pm.
I guess this bad news for Singapore’s bars and restaurants, but practice and qualifying will, like the race, be that bit more interesting than your regular Grand Prix.

Looks like an 8 pm start for the race on September 28th 2008, although I’m not sure I’d like to be watching proceedings from the "Flyer", Singapore’s answer to the London Eye. Hopefully they won’t be allowing beer on board…
