This is one of those battles of a race, in that the cars take a proper beating - I do wonder how many will last it.

I was actually wondering what people thought of the night races?

[Rik]

It's more floodlit than night racing, if you know what I mean, Sam. Nothing like Le Mans. I am curious to see how many teams run out of engines though.

[Simon]

Not sure about F1, but night rallying is quite entertaining.

[Rik]

Though I never understand people who stand so close to the track.

[Simon]

I've never understood them being allowed to.

[sam]

just sounds terrifying.

And yeah Rik, I see what you are saying. But I wonder how much the visibility is reduced.

[Rik]

From what I've heard in the past, they can barely see as it is.

[sam]

true.
