Contrary to earlier reports, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed on Friday that the first Singapore Grand Prix will be staged at night.
"As a night race we anticipate it will quickly establish itself as one of the most dramatic and atmospheric races on our calendar," he said.
In explaining that the event towards the end of next year's calendar would be the 'first ever' night race, the F1 supremo also hinted that talks to also stage the season opening Australian Grand Prix under lights next year had not been successful.
Night events are relatively common place in NASCAR, Champ Car and IndyCar.
