The roads that make up the circuit will start to shut from 5pm on each of the three days of F1 track activity and reopen from 2am. They will be what is described as "hot" - ready for track action - and handed over to officials from the FIA, F1's governing body, from 7pm each evening.

It was probably a non-starter to shut the strip during daytime hours...but then again I would think the evening might actually be the more lucrative time for commerce. It's about the nighttime visual and start times that are not in the absolute middle of the night in Europe (but its still an early morning start there)
