''So far there hasn't been an application''F1's governing body has not yet given a green-light to night racing, according to the FIA President Max Mosley.
Speaking at the launch of the UN's inaugural Global Road Safety Week in London, the 66-year-old on Monday said
the dangers of the innovative idea still need to be fully assessed.
"We would not sanction night racing for Formula One without a very careful investigation," Reuters quoted him as saying.
The night racing concept for F1 is the brainchild of Bernie Ecclestone, who wants to create a better European TV timeslot for races by staging them after sunset in Asia.
Singapore, Australia and Malaysia could be among the first night races as early next season.
"So far there hasn't been an application but if there is a serious attempt to run a night race then we will have a very careful look at it," Mosley revealed.
"It would be a big step and we wouldn't want to make a mistake."
