More interesting facts on Singapore F1 lighting

Philip Wong | Sep 26, 2008

We all know the Singapore F1 night race will be illuminated by thousands of lighting projectors suspended on aluminum trusses, but how about the behind-the-scene logistics for the setup? According to Allianz, the official global partner for Formula One, this is a breakdown of the key components.

108km of cables or 20 times longer than the circuit

230 steel pylons

1,600 light projectors (conflicts with the Singapore organizer's report of 1,500)

12 twin-power generators with a combined 3.2 million-watt output

These light projectors will be spaced 4m apart and 10m high across the entire circuit. The lighting will be four times brighter than a typical stadium with enough blanket coverage to eliminate any shadows cast from the vehicles on the track.
