From one street track to another, round 18 of the season takes place at Marina Bay, with the grid set to go racing at night for the first time since Saudi Arabia in April.
Toto On…. A Very Different Challenge
Two weeks on from the high-speed straights of Azerbaijan’s capital, Singapore could not be more different.
“After a solid weekend in Azerbaijan, we head to Singapore and another street race,” says Toto.
“Whilst Baku and Marina Bay share that characteristic, the challenge of each is very different.
“The circuit in Singapore is a tighter, more technical one compared to the higher speed layout in Azerbaijan.”
And track configuration won’t be the only adjustment the teams and drivers will have to make this weekend.
“Perhaps the biggest difference though are the conditions,” adds Toto.
“Despite racing at night, the heat and humidity of Singapore place a high demand on both the car and the drivers.
“Managing and optimising for that is a key requirement of the weekend.”
