And Singapore is a night race isn't it, which will be awesome!?

[Roddie]

Yeah I can't wait for it, although the MotoGP night race at the start of the year was so well lit that you almost couldn't tell it was at night!

[Malc]

I think they should make the teams implement headlights onto the cars. Will be more atmospheric than just lighting the whole track with - what seems - an artificial sun.

[Roddie]

Yup, I agree. But since Singapore is street circuit, maybe they can just use the street lights?

[VR46]

Very much doubt it, far too risky, there will probably be a floodlight about every 15 yards.

[Malc]

Damn safety rules and regulations. I prefered the old days when drivers could get out of their car and push it over the line.

Woooo Qualifying, not watched F1 properly since the start of this season! Monaco is an awesome race so I can't miss it.

I'm settled down on the sofa with the qualy on and my laptop comfortably nestled on my ...er, lap.

Is it raining over there at the mo? Should be interesting...

The David Croft thing hasn't been confirmed - there is also a rumour that Brundle will become the main commentator and DC takes over from Brundle's current position, it's less likely but a more interesting combo imo. Both rumours seem to suggest Allen and Ryder are out.

I'd like to see the ITV pit guys over at the BBC, can't remember their names though.

[Paulos G]

Not raining right at this moment. Rain is expected at some stage over the weekend though.

[Rossco]

When does Q actually start?

[Paulos G]

One o'clock I think.

[Rossco]

Coulthard takes pole!!!

[Paulos G]

Heh. It clearly has been a while since you last watched a qualifying session.

[Rossco]

I hope you know I was jokin!
