From a press release issued by series organizers:
Albacete Illuminations
130 Megawatts of Light Show the Way
The Albacete track debuted their newly installed circuit illumination system on Wednesday
night this week. The lights were switched on by Pedro Antonio Ruiz Santos, President of
the Albacete Province and Circuit Director Andres Sanchez Marin.
The system delivers 130,000 kw of power through more than 200 lamps positioned around
the full circuit. Albacete will be the first circuit in Europe to offer full-coverage
illumination (the only others are Motegi and Suzuka in Japan) and represents a major
investment by the track in the future of endurance racing at Albacete.
The circuit hosts its first round of the World Endurance Championship on the 28 th and 29 th
of June. The race is a twelve hour event which will run through the night from nine o’clock
on Saturday evening to nine o’clock on Sunday morning.
A web-cam link from the front page of the world endurance web site – www.WorldEdurance.com – will allow browsers to watch the action throughout the event.
