The AusGP should be 'open-minded' about switching to an F1 night race in the future, according to outgoing boss Westacott.
"[For] the [Australian Grand Prix] Corporation, the preference is in the [race happening in] sunshine," said Westacott of the potential for a night race.
"You've got to look at the 15-year horizon now and that's why the Victorian government saw that this was important to secure [the new deal] – you can actually do things into the future."The great thing is we've had a partnership with Formula 1 since 1996 and therefore you can do these things with a very strong relationship. So be open-minded is probably the simple answer.
However, that would come at a cost given there is currently no track lighting infrastructure in place.
