Last year's Champ Car race at Houston was a night race and the track was a street course. Maybe they used the regular street lamps...?

Hey, Have thought about this,
Rain, If rains it will make harder to see! For both the drivers and the TV audience,
The Mist reflects the artificial light to make an white blanket, for TV viewing would be confusing and the drivers would absolute hell!Ayrton Senna Is the one true GOD!

I'd rather they ran a night race in Europe, however. I think Hockenheim would be the best track to support a lighting system. The race would be in the afternoon for me, and it's only the late evening in Europe. If you want to please European television viewers, you'll want the race on while they're watching television.
I never get up to watch the European races live. You can't make me get out of bed that early. I wait until the afternoon rebroadcast to watch.racing-reference.info/showblog?id=1785

I just remembered that a few weeks ago I managed to come across a kart race on television.
The race took place in a parking lot, at night, and in pouring rain.
It looked fine on television and aside from the drivers struggling with the wet/oily track the race was pretty good.racing-reference.info/showblog?id=1785

Can anyone explain what's so great about a night race To me it's nothing more than a(nother) gimmick.

Track lighting isn't a problem...seeing the flags is. This week's autosport has some interesting opinions, esp the points made my Brundle.

Autosport quotes a guy who says at least 300,000 Euro. That's purely light hire and power, not the set-up costs which would take days.
