When the Singapore Grand Prix hosts Formula One's debut night race in September of this year, there may be a special glow around the circuit. Not just by turning on the lights, but the cars driving between the walls may have a special glow...

that'd be fecking ugly :s

[craig34]

Glowing tires, I agree that may be ugly.

[SGWilko]

That's an awful lot of Tritium required to make the paint. Can't they just use those godawful light up dust caps that boy racers use to 'jazz up' their nova's in order to impress the spotty 14 year old in the passenger seat.... :p :

[Kevincal]

Maybe they mean under car lighting effects? That would be pretty cool. Ferrari could have red lights under the car etc. :)

[BDunnell]

Adequate circuit lighting ought, surely, to be enough.

g-i-m-i-c-k.

so, this is what it has come to?... :s

F1 is the pinnacle of automotive sports, that includes glow-in-the-dark tyres. :D

[BDunnell]

Maybe whitewall tyres could make a comeback on road cars, too?

[Daniel]

Just when you thought motorsport was as cheap and tacky as it could get :)

After watching the motogp nite race, I say no more please.....noww if they want to put some headlights on them and do it like an enduro at night, well ok.....

[Stuartf12007]

chandaliers on cars is the wya to go.

[salmo]

Maybe they could use those scented Kumhos with colored smoke. :)

[markabilly]

and don't forget to add some sparklers to rub along the ground to add some spark to the event....

[Tazio]

How is this going to affect the drivers that have dropped acid?

[ShiftingGears]

Maybe streamers could also be emitted from behind the bargeboards whenever the drivers touch the brake pedal.

[Kevincal]

ooh and maybe the team could install some kickass sound systems in their cars, emitting bass from a huge woofer under the car. :) They should have nice shiny chrome rims too. :D
