Why race at night in Singapore?

The Singapore Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen won the sprint, is famous for being Formula 1's first-ever night race. This decision was primarily driven by the desire to cater to European television audiences, allowing races to be broadcast during prime viewing hours. The illuminated street circuit also creates a spectacular visual experience.
