Default Ecclestone eyes three more races - nite race?

Maybe three more races - 20 in an F1 season.

And a nite race!?

Most of the drivers (non-F1, obviously) I've seen interviewed about a night race say that once the lighting is right, the visibility is as good as daytime, maybe even better (less glare). It would certainly be a eye-fest on tv!

Be interesting to see how the teams take to running 20 events.

Have a good one,
Mike

A nite race on the tube would definitely look cool .....and maybe garner some interest in the USA. Glitz and Glamour.

We already have night races. The only thing is that it's not night where they race. I prefer watching the Asian races because they are late at night instead of early in the morning.

I think that what Bernie out to do is continue to have races on circuits like Monza, Suzuka and Spa and forget about the races on the cookie cutter road courses like Bahrain.

But, Bernie goes where the biggest money pile is.

I know. That's what's unfortunate.

Night race
Beats getting up at 3am to watch a race live.
Cooler night weather is better for the fans and the drivers
