Russian Grand Prix in the evening? "An interesting idea."
- GPblog.com
On the calendar there are few races that are held in the evening, while in practice that does provide nice images. Now it is not every Grand Prix equally practical for broadcasts, but a race in which that may be possible in Russia. The promoter sees something in it, but one has to find out if it is feasible.
Olympic Park looks beautiful at night
"It's an interesting idea," says Alexey Titov of the Russian Grand Prix against Tass. "This is indeed a very interesting and extraordinary idea, because everyone knows how the Olympic Park is beautiful, when it is lit up in the nighttime" We'll have to wait and see if it ever comes to that, because it will have to be discussed. That is why this year's Grand Prix will take place during the day.
"However, we still have time to evaluate how effective and economically feasible it will be, because the Grand Prix in the daytime offers numerous advantages and it still has the potential", Titov concludes. So he certainly doesn't dismiss the idea, but whether it is still realistic to achieve for this year's Grand Prix is uncertain.
If it is indeed included in the discussions, then that idea might be something for the future.
