Spanish Grand Prix to be held at night in 2027? Not as far as anyone can put it to rest

Neither Formula 1 nor the circuit will confirm the reports of the Madring putting on the Spanish Grand Prix after dark in 2027. The Lenovo race is down for September 10 to 12 of that year but according to the organizers there is no timetable to show for the weekend yet. Madrid has the rights to the event through to 2035 at the least; last September’s first running drew 352,618 spectators. A public road course at night brings the question of lighting into play and the circuit has not been put on the spot over it publicly. In the absence of an official schedule one is left with the report.
