Toyota Racing
Question: Fourth place in the dark! Are you happy?
Timo Glock: I was pleased with my race and the job that I did. The track was very bumpy and the race went almost to its two-hour maximum so it was hard work. We knew that it was going to be unforgiving and that concentration was crucial, so I’m pleased to have done the 61 laps without making a mistake. It was quite challenging to set the car up for this track because of the bumps but the team worked hard on this and we got the maximum out of the car.
Question: How was it racing under the lights?
Timo Glock: There were some places that were a little dark, like the last corner, but I got used to it in first free practice. I had already experienced racing at night in Champ Car so I expected it would not be like daylight everywhere and that is what we found. It’s not a major problem but it takes some getting used to because if you are driving at high speed and the light level changes, your eyes need to adapt quickly.
Question: What did you think of the vibe and the whole Singapore event?
Timo Glock: I think Singapore did a fantastic job. Formula One looked great under lights, the city looked tremendous, there was a big crowd and I think the atmosphere was very special, in the way that you often get a different feeling at an evening soccer game.
