Finally, the F1 circus is in town here in Singapore. It's been a long time coming and has generated much discussion, mainly around it being the first night race, combined with a new street circuit and the first time GP has come to Singapore since the 60s and 70s.
The fascination for a night race got me thinking - what were people hoping for? The action among blazing headlights, the evening party atmosphere? No, much of the earlier discussion was about the potential excitement of sparks flying and engines blowing under the over of night. Despite the facts that the megamega watts of lighting will make it appear as day, this re-affirmed one of the main reasons people watch motor sport - for the drama of the unexpected. Even if that means blazing fires. Touch wood.
