With them discouraging international entries from participating, the event loses a lot of it's status and becomes more or less a regular round of a national racing series. |

Would they ever cancel this race early or would they have to wait the full 6 hours?

I did read (on Wikipedia, so who knows) that FIA requires 3 laps to be completed to call it an official race. |

If Gimmi Bruni is right and an hour of no rain is required to even get the track ready then the window is slowly but steadily closing anyways.
I think if the rain does not stop within the next 60-80 minutes it simply makes no sense to wait any longer - as much as it sucks. |

Hopefully the update at 1pm will be them cancelling the event, Motors TV have taken to showing highlights from COTA.

My guess is that they pull the plug at 1:00 unless a miracle happens.

Why would you want them to cancel an event? Theres 4 hours left at that time frame. They should get on with it. The rain is said to stop soon, so get the cars pumping that water off track and let them earn their pay.

If it takes around an hour to get going again and it might start raining again 1-2 hours before the finish, we're looking at an actual window of about an hour, maybe two at best. Question is, does it make sense to go for that? Either way, we won't get a proper endurance race in today, that is already certain. |

Because it isn't going to be restarted so if they cancel it now we can all go back to bed?

Why don't they stop the clock until they can start again?

Any idea how much Nissan's infomercials are worth for RLM/John Hindhaugh?

Goes without saying that the restart will be behind the safety car.
