Night Race

Post

As you may very well know, the FIA is trying to organize night events next season. I wonder what your thoughts are about this. Obviously, the broadcasters want a better time slot in Europe and that's what I believe is driving this idea. However, there would be other issues with the race event itself.
Firstly, the tires would work differently, considering that the track will be a lot cooler in the evening.
Second, how is the lighting going to affect the drivers; all you need is a misplaced light pole, pointing in the wrong direction to upset the drivers' visibility.
...and so on!

Please don't forget the poll question.
