Fisichella reckons it would be altogether a different experience to burn rubber under lights, while German Sutil can’t wait for the moment.

“Surely, it’s going to be very interesting when we get to Singapore (in September) for the first (Formula One) night race. It’s a new idea and I believe it’s god for the sport,” Fisichella said.

“I’m happy that it’s finally happening and I want to race under the lights as early as possible,” said the Italian, who has won three F1 races in his career.

Sutil echoed his view and felt it would mark a watershed in the history of Formula One racing. “It’s a completely new event and I can’t wait to see it happen. Though I myself have not raced under lights, I have seen some other night races and they looked good,” said the lanky youngster.

“The entire atmosphere would be different and it would be interesting to race,” he said. Sutil also reckons Singapore needs to succeed in order to leave behind a legacy. “If everything works out well and the event proves a success, I think we would get to see a few more night races,” he said.

Singapore has already installed a state-of-the-art illuminating system to ensure optimum visibility and spokesman of the Singapore Grand Prix  Stephen Slater said care has been taken to ensure that the event, proves to be a huge success.
