The night race in Singapore is always highly rated for its attractiveness.
Since 2008, when Singapore first hosted the first night race in the history of F1 racing, this event and a series of accompanying entertainment activities have been a big hit with a breathtakingly beautiful racetrack and a breathtaking frame.
The schedule of the Singapore Grand Prix takes place at night and is extremely convenient for television audiences in Europe as well as tourists present on this island nation.
For racers and professionals, Marina Bay has always been a difficult racetrack because of its 90-degree corners and bumpy road surface running close to the metal fence.
Like other street races like Monaco and Valencia, tires and aerodynamics are the two factors that most influence the success or failure of racers.
The boulevards glow under the night lights.
The design has up to 23 corners and very short straight lines, so with an average speed of 175 km/h, Singapore is one of the lowest speed stages in current F1 races.
Commenting on the Singapore Grand Prix, young racer Nico Hulkenberg said, `This is the most difficult race on the schedule, it requires both physical and mental strength because with 23 corners, this is the longest race.`
To adapt to the difficulties in Singapore, racing teams always set the car’s compression force at a very high level in addition to requiring fast corner exit speed.
The competition between racing teams in Singapore will be very fierce.
This season, the rise of small racing teams like Sauber and Williams makes competition fierce.
Meanwhile, both McLaren and Ferrari also had to try to overcome the technical problems they encountered at the Italian Grand Prix, the most recent race.
