Formula one teams have approved the lighting system for the first ever night Grand Prix , to be staged in Singapore late next month.
Representatives of the teams inspected the circuit, located in the city-state's Marina Bay area , last month, the local Channel NewsAsia said.
Work on fully installing the system, which provides brightness suitable for F1 's high-definition broadcasts, is currently taking place.
A total of 1500 projectors are to light up the 5-km street layout, ensuring that the circuit is nearly four times brighter than a typical football stadium at night .
The pan-Asian news channel is also reporting that 95 per cent of the tickets for the first Singapore grand prix have already been sold, therefore almost guaranteeing a sell-out on September 28.
