I managed to get a couple of pics from the brief session some of the riders did last night:

I've got no idea what the chances are of a floodlit race happening in MotoGP but my fingers are definitely crossed for it. With Qatar usually being so hot the riders might even go for it. :pray:

Thanks for the pics. I hear they are going to try it next season in an attempt to draw more fans.

Yep, the word now seems to be that they didn't dismiss it after last night but some things did need to be improved, ie the fact the marshals were invisible (what red flag? :lol:) and the floodlights weren't covering quite all of the track. Next year they'll move it up a gear and probably do the full track I guess, and then maybe a night race in Qatar in 2008!

And a couple more for good measure:
