By George Skentzos |

In the lead up to the first Formula 1 Singapore Grad Prix night race, SPEED TV has created a virtual lap of the track with driver and narrator Mark Webber taking us through all 24 corners of this amazing circuit.

    eh.. shouldn’t that be Mark spinning..(just joking)

    Just in case u wanted to know the factual bits about the lights:
    * Lighting consultant Valerio Maioli S.p.a, an Italian company is handling this project
    * Used state of the art and strategically positioned new lighting that minimizes glare and reflections from wet surfaces or spray from cars
    * Power cables length: 108,423 metres
    * Light projectors used: 1600
    * Total power consumed: 3,180,000 watts
    * Illumination requirement: 3000 lux
    * Lighting will be 4x brighter than what stadium lights will be
    * The lighting is powered by 12 twin-power generators stored in a container which is sound proof
    * In any event of a generator failing or power blackout, the backup generators would kick in. If the problem is faulty cables, the engineers attached to each generator will immediately replace it.

    It’d be worth watching just to see Hamilton attempt yet again to run another driver off the track and end up upside down at the bottom of Singapore Harbour. That would be brilliant!
