Total Power 3,180,000 watt
Track Projectors 1, 485 @ 2,000 watt each
Power Generators 12 pairs (with back-up)
Aluminium Truss 6,282m
Steel Pylons 240
Power Cables 108, 423m
The logistical set up is vast - 108,423m of power cables, 240 steel pylons and around 1,600 light projectors with a total power requirement of 3,180,000 watts will be used.
At 3000lux levels, the lighting will be four times brighter than the lights at sports stadiums.
The lighting projectors will only be placed on one side of the track, fixed at the same side of the track as the television cameras, to reduce glare when broadcasting the race. As the height of the F1 cars is only 1 metre, the shadows cast would be minimal. Thus, it is not necessary to have lights on both sides of the track.
