WTF?
He asked about night racing in the rain, and I answered it.

BTW, did you guys ever drove on a wet road in the city during the night? Did you see the road? I guess you did. So why would F1 be any different? Just because their overalls might get wet?

I think evil homer has a point ioan and he's not attacking you in any way. Driving in a motor car with onboard lights in an environment with ambient lighting is hardly a comparisson to a race track with over 1000 superbright flood lights IMO. Its a worthy call especially as a motoGP race was postponed due to heavy rain and dazzling conditions from lighting in Qatar.

Le Mans is able to run at night because the cars carry their own lighting which is directional from each car. The only comparisson is driving during a rainstorm in daylight with bright sunshine beaming down on the road, and we all know how hard it can be to drive in that. F1 drivers don't have the comfort of sunblinds on their windscreens and space to move their heads out of the glare. Sure they have situations like this during wet races but they don't have a 1000 sun's covering the entire track.. I guess if it rains we will know..
