Another 30 minute delay :roll:

I think its stupid to keep holding off the inevitable at this point as its clear the weather isn't improving & the track is pretty much flooded in at least 1 place & there attempts at pumping away the water isn't doing anything.


I wonder if there's something in the TV or circuit contract that stipulates that they have to show they held off as long as possible & at least tried to start the session before calling it off?

Charlie Whiting going out in a race control car to inspect the circuit.... I can tell him what the result of that will be.

while it may all seem like shits and giggles, I find this situation very odd; especially because there is no chance of this happening.

You laugh, but that's their 2016 prototype chassis.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I recall that little red breasted black bird anecdote from DC a few years ago. I think it was at Canada?

Lots of standing water, judging from the SC run.
