Renault driver Fernando Alonso has no idea what to expect from the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix this weekend.

The Spaniard feels that the first of having a night race along with the infrastructure of holding it will be an interesting combination for all involved.

Alonso said: ""I'm curious to see what it's like when we get there; what the circuit layout is like; what the level of lighting will be and the visibility."

"It's a very unusual weekend from a sporting perspective and also in terms of the management of the Grand Prix weekend and I'm really curious to see what it will be like."

""In terms of physical preparation, I have to admit that I have done nothing special for this race."

"I have prepared just as I would for any other race. On the other hand, I have worked with my physiotherapist and other members of the team to decide the best way to manage the race weekend, especially in terms of sleep."

"In the end I've decided not to adjust to the local time zone and to remain on a European schedule, which will be best for my energy levels."

The French team's Brazilian driver Nelson Piquet added: ""I'm definitely looking forward to it."

"I have had to learn lots of circuits this year so it's not something that worries me, and like Valencia the track in Singapore will be a new challenge for all the drivers and won't be such a disadvantage for a rookie"

"So I'm really eager to see what it's like when we get there and see Singapore in race configuration."

""I have done some planning with my physiotherapist to make sure that my body clock does not adjust to Singapore time."

"So I will have clearly defined hours of sleep, some techniques aimed at reducing the impact of daylight on my body, and a different meal regime with a large breakfast followed by several light meals."
