Night Races- No Thanks !

[Dazz9908]

Bernie hates getting up and watching F1 in the early hours of the morning,
Oh God, Hear in OZ were been doing it for Decades,
Good to see you Europeans +Britts getting it back every now and then.

I'll hate the idea to see F1 at night, It's not NASCAR and Not Speed way It's bloody fast and dangerous, If the light not right then it's anther hazard to contend with.

Plus F1 is suppose to be getting greener, How much Green house gases will be created for Bernie to make another couple of billion.

The IRL is even more 'bloody fast and dangerous' than F1 but they held a night race at Homestead yesterday.

I see no reason why F1 could not hold a successful night race.

I'm in favour of night races, if done porperly it will make for one hell of a spectical.

As long as they don't go overboard I'd quite like to see a night race or two. I just don't want every non-European/American race to go that way; it may make for better European viewing times, but as we've already seen in this thread, not every F1 fan is based in Europe!

Night races are cool.

I've grown up used to the fact that F1 is an "early Sunday morning" business for me. I probably wouldn't watch all the races if they fell in the middle of the day.

I would agree with that. I wouldn't like to see more than two night races a season, at the most. And not necessarily outside of Europe either.

I agree.

Lighting an oval is one heck of a lot easier than lighting a road course. Length of track plus runoff areas would all have to be lit. Spectators areas would need lighting whereas at an oval the lights cover both. Not saying it isn't possible, just more difficult and expensive.
Then look at all the power required. Here come the "greens".
