That being the case Graeme, it makes one ask the question why the race is run at nightRedStormV wrote:Well accroding to Julian, Toby, et al, the day time temperatures at this time of year are no where near as warm as some of the Italian races later in the season, so that's strike 1 for floodlights.sirch345 wrote:I suppose it all depends on how high a temperature it is during the daylight time, to whether it would be possible/safe to race then
Apparently, according to the race engineers and tyre boffins, the track temperatures at Qatar for the 'night time' race are the lowest of any race in the MotoGP calendar, bar none!
Strike 2 for floodlit racing!
Can't be bothered remembering or typing a strike 3 4 or 5 but they're there....
I just hope Dorna or whoever's responsible sees sense in time for next year
IMHO I would prefer a day time race to one run with floodlights anytime,Chris.
