Noooooooooooooo. Please no night races. Not even in the near future. European TV viewers are just four hours behind. Watching the race at 10 AM on a Sunday should be no problem for them. Having a night race is just stupid as it will put an unnecessary strain on circuit owners. And if it is in fact supposed to be one of the three fastest F1 circuits then the average speed would have to be a lot greater than 210 km/h. It would have to be in excess of 235 km/h to be up there with Spa, Silverstone and Monza.

I hope that this will be retained in this digital rendering and not put one lousy step towards implimenting this since we Indians are not ready for this. YET.

This is simply awesome. Track is fast and will be like Monza with lot of straight line speeds. Cannot wait to have the first F1 Indian GP.
