If anyone crashes big time in Race 1, they're probably not getting it fixed for Race 2.

Sky Sports is showing it live from 1.30am - 4.30. Is that going to be enough time to cover it?

They've timed this well actually. It'll give us something to do when all the cameramen go to sleep at Le Mans.

Half points for each, I thought. So full points if you finish in same position both races.
