Yeah, there shouldn't ever be more than half an hour between races.

I nearly thought Porsche Supercup Practice session was cancelled. But no, just delayed by good 30 minutes.

Raining now.
Red flag before any accident happens. I think that will be story tomorrow if there's changeable conditions.

I'm still amazed there wasn't a SC or red flag when it started raining in Monaco in F1 race this year.

Yes we had a terrible accident here 4 weeks ago. But putting out a SC even though only a small part of the track is slightly damp sucks. You can overdo it...

We've seen level 9 pussification this weekend. Dunno if it's just because it's Spa. We'll see whether it's consistent thing if it rains in Zandoort or Monza.

All showers should be short and light tbh. Can't understand how we always need SC's and red flags.

If they're so afraid of it then honestly we shouldn't race at Spa anymore. People are paying money to see racing this weekend and they see this crap.

When they throw Spa out, it won't be for the weather, it'll be because they'll earn more money at some Middle-Eastern track and goodbye traditional European venues

I know we go on about "micro climate" but we've seen more wet weekends this year (mainly Saturdays) than most seasons, so if we're punishing a track for the weather, we won't have many places left....

The only difference is what happened here in Formula Regional and in F2 5 years ago......people get jittery.
Look at how stupid the start of Monza 2001 was after they got anxious about the start crash 12 months before that killed a Marshal, agreeing not to overtake at the start and all that shit
F1 gets over-cautious sometimes, I just hope that like then, this too will pass and hopefully not be the permenant state.
