The Formula One Singapore Grand Prix will take place on Sunday at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. First held in 2008, this is F1’s only night race, taking place under 1,600 light projectors which line the entire course.

So there is an automatic suggestion that by choosing IndyCar to make his single-seater return, the series is inferior to F1. IndyCar is fantastic—it is America’s premier single-seater series after all. But it is a...
