Night Races- No Thanks !

[jarrambide]

wich proves that Champ Car drivers are crying babies

about the topic, I actually don't care, I don't think it would add anything special, I don't watch NASCAR but night IRL races don't look more special to me(ok the cars look better but that's all), yet the FIA and Bernie have had more stupid ideas so if it happens that's ok for me

It´s not for the drivers it´s for the fans, Monterrey, Mexico has similar conditions, a little bit hotter, but no humidity, they had CC races for 7 years, every year they had fans with 2nd and 3rd degree burnings because of the sun (yes, you are stupid for not using SPF 70, a cap and long sleeve shirts, and the fact most of the victims were women who attended the races with straples blouses was even more stupid, but people tend to do things like this).

Drivers security is the biggest problem, if they accept it we will have night races. Honestly I believe it is very dangerous and I believe it shouldn't be done.

Heidfeld's questions it too:

<<"It is not like a football game where you need a few lights. Just imagine if there is a power cut," ...
"In football you can stop the game but in Formula One, when we're driving at 300kph and it is dark ... I don't want to be in the situation.">>

if anything,the honda's car will look better under lights,it can't be any worse than how the car looks now

It's going to be a street circuit that probably won't be very wide.

It's a danger when cars block the road but on the other hand, speeds may be fairly low to equal out the risk of injury.

The Australian state of Queensland is planning to build a new circuit capable of hosting a Formula One Grand Prix at night.

I wonder what Honda's earth car would look like under the lights?

IT WOULD LOOK GREAT IF THEY COULD USE NEON PAINT FOR THE PARTS OF THE CAR THAT HAVE EARTH ON IT

I am genuinely surprised that the Qld government is actually willing to throw that amount of money at the track.

But as long as it's a good track that isn't 50km from the Gold Coast, you won't hear any complaints from me.

Ahah, an F1 night race at the Gold Coast. Can someone say...heavy partying? :
Sounds like they're trying to appeal to the Indy 300 crowd! But that doesn't bother me. This story will be one to watch!

Instead of holding night races in Asia so Europe can watch, here's a novel idea. Hold more races in Europe........


.....silly idea I know!!!

Night race would be great, Mexico would be great......

As for F1 being boring, its looking good so far this year, and has got my attention after just one race. The way things are going in the US these days with the IRL, CCWS problems, I think the Mad Mexicans would love an F1 race, If NASCAR can do it, F1 certainly can.....

As for getting up early, I actually enjoy it, Every year I'm up for Surfers Paradise CCWS and and F1 Japan and Melbourne. The missus likes it cause she don't have to watch it.

As for strappy tops, as long as Bernie is not wearing one I'm ok with it.For once I don't think Bernie is being stupid, he just hasn't come up with any new ideas that the IRL and CART/CCWS has been trying for years.
