Lighting up the track

Leave your lights switched on - that is the message the Singapore Tourism Board has for tenants and property managers of office buildings near the track. The aim is to showcase the city for international broadcast and photography,

STB encouraged the light-up to begin on Wednesday, to "cater for coverage of race preparations", said its executive director (F1 and sports) Justin Chew.

And Singapore Environment Council executive director Howard Shaw thinks it is a "good thing" for the F1 atmosphere. As for the energy consumed, he said efforts to make buildings energy efficient are far more important.
