Did they just say smoke on the onboard for #1?

As long as the Audi's don't get airborne having to jump over curbs, I'd hope that their chances of major, crippling problems would be minimal.

Toyota have had some issues of their own (though minor so far) this week, and even Porsche's 2015 hybrid parts weren't 100% reliable, as COTA and Fuji proved last season.

Not to mention that the previous post mentioned a rumor of a possible issue with the #1 Porsche with smoke in the cockpit.

Rebellion winning or at least finishing well would be the safest bet unless reliability issues for them suddenly pop up.

I think we'll get a Rebellion podium, but the race is long enough that it'll allow works teams to catch back up during problems. But I'm rooting for Rebellion.

Eurosport mentioned #8 has it's best time from yesterday removed. Any reason why?

They improved under yellow flags.

Properly because of track limits violation?

Edit: Apparently not

[chernaudi]

I suppose that their fastest lap was improvement through excessive track limits violation or local yellow.

Though it doesn't state why, Audi Sport's twitter page lists that the #7 and #8 flip-flopped on scoring, though the #8's next fastest lap was only a few tenths off the one that got deleted.

Well, that's it. The grid is defined and the Q3 will be pointless to me, so hopefully I see you all again, at some point, on Saturday

I think they selected about 10 of the winners, but it's pretty rad! Looking forward to the race!

well, the night session might be a lot drier, some people say.

Looking at the weather radar on Flightradar24 it doesn't look like it. The whole track is under a rain cell at the moment and there's a heavier part of this cell moving towards the track. At this rate, it might just be dry enough for slicktermediates by the end of this session, and certainly not dry enough to see improvements.

Just as aside to this question, yesterday it was mentioned several times on Audi and Porsche team radio that drivers were getting some smoke in the cockpit. I wonder if its from the cars bottoming out or something?

So the session green, so why is Eurosport showing 24 Minutes still?

Fighting talk from Ford on sandbagging allegations

Great weather for ducks!

[Akrapovic]

Yeah this will be a red flag. It's biblical levels of rain now.

[airbusA346]

Spin for #82

[airbusA346]

Red flag.

[crooky]

Beautifully judged 360 spin from Malucelli in the Ferrari.

Shame about the weather, looks like this session could be a total write off.

[J Jay]

No session with Sam Collins on the comms is ever a write-off!

[airbusA346]

Any sand on his shoes lol

[J Jay]

When the Safety Car almost has an off you can be confident it's soaking wet!

Excellent recovery from the driver.

[airbusA346]

Great driving by the R8
