A decision on whether the Formula One race in Singapore will take place at night or in the day is expected by year's end, said Minister of State for Trade and Industry S Iswaran.

The minister added that trials are underway to check if it is safe to have a night race.

A decision is expected by year's end as this will ensure there will be ample time for preparations to market the race globally.

"Next year is quite interesting because there will be the Beijing Olympics in August, our race in September, followed by the ones in Japan and China. Not a bad timing for the overall activity in the region – there will be a lot of tourist and travel interest," said Mr Iswaran.

It would be interesting to see a night race held in F1, especially with it being at a more favourable time for us fans based in Europe. But the safety aspect must be addressed first and if it's safe enough for F1 to be run in these conditions then they should go for it.

ChampCar can do it, NASCAR can do it, so why not F1?
