Thailand could host a second night time F1 race!

Formula 1 could have two nighttime races starting with 2015 after Bernie Ecclestone verbally confirmed to include Thailand in the competition calendar.
Even if the Asian state hopes to enter the calendar in 2014, the one year postponement was unilaterally decided by Bernie Ecclestone, the representative of commercial rights holder of Formula 1. "They say 2014 and I say 2015. It is something serious and something good", said the 82 years old Briton, quoted by the Wall Street Journal.
Thailand first announced its desire to host the F1 race in 2010 and rumors were amplified this fall after organizers identified and set the place where the circuit will be built.
Thailand will pay 27 million dollars for hosting the race, with funds provided by the Thai state and the energy drinks manufacturer Red Bull, a company that was founded in Thailand.
