Jul.8 (GMM) All formula one teams will shortly send experts to Singapore to collect information before the first ever artificially-lit grand prix there in late September.
"We are trying to understand the implications of the lighting," Honda team principal Ross Brawn confirmed to reporters at the British grand prix last weekend.
He said a section of the street circuit will be lit by organisers within the next week or two so that the F1 teams can analyse the implications.
One of the elements of the sport's normal routine that might need to be adjusted, for example, is the brightness of rear tail light, Brawn suggested.
Another problem, he added, is that Bridgestone's current range of tyre compounds are not designed for cooler night conditions.
"There is a limited range of compounds and I know they are not going to invent a compound for it," he said.
