Malaysia considering night race

09 February 2008

Malaysian authorities are considering the prospect of holding their Grand Prix at night in the future, but only if the price is right. Singapore will make F1 history this autumn when it hosts F1's first ever night race.

"We have actually been talking aboug a night race with Bernie Ecclestone since September 2006," Dato Mokhzani Mahatir, chairman of the Sepang circuit told the Bangkok Post. "Since then he has spoken with Singapore and Melbourne as he'd like to see the F1 broadcast from here in Europe at a more decent hour. Having a race in Asia at night makes sense for that."

"Singapore and Melbourne are temporary street circuits whereas we are a permanent facility," he added. "Putting up lighting systems would allow us to hire the circuit out more."
