A1GP to add night race

"A night race is on the cards for next year," Sheikh Maktoum bin Hasher bin Maktoum al Maktoum told autosport.com. "Not that much lighting is needed actually.

"I got lied to the first time round. Someone said it could cost us five million dollars. Do I look like I have stupid written on my forehead? Then they told me it was actually half a million dollars. Ooops I added a zero? How did that happen?

"I think we will throw one in there. It is better for weather and it would be great to see the glowing disc brakes on these cars.

"If we could go somewhere that was really, really hot then we should make it at night. Malaysia, Dubai and Indonesia are three like that."
