PROPOSED LIGHTING SYSTEM Appointed lighting contractor, Italy-based Valerio Maioli S.p.a Lighting tests have been conducted at the Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track in Le Castellet, France, to study the system under real racing conditions Upon the fulfilment of satisfactory criteria, the first ever Night Race was approved by the FIA for Singapore on 24 October 2007

PROPOSED LIGHTING SYSTEM Challenges It is not a permanent circuit Trees along the roads To prevent the unnecessary uprooting of trees, the height of the lights would have to be lower than the tree canopy lining the circuit Impossible to put cables in underground ducts

PROPOSED LIGHTING SYSTEM The Requirements Optimal lighting and no glare is required to meet the following requirements: Safety The driver’s, marshal’s and spectator’s safety is critical Good Visuals For spectators, drivers and journalists Able to broadcast High-Definition pictures

PROPOSED LIGHTING SYSTEM The Solution The lighting system includes a bespoke state-of-the-art lighting system that delivers optimal visibility for night race conditions. The entire track will be fitted with about 1,500 projectors at 2000watt each. Powered by 12 twin-power generators The overall result would be almost four times brighter than a typical stadium. Set-up: 2 to 3 months, from second quarter of 2008
