[Aysedasi]

It's just come up on FIAWEC live.... and RSL timing.

[GT6]

Only just turned on and track slightly damp, will see how it goes

[GT6]

Andrew outfit looks good but i thought your main support was car 24 this year

[GT6]

And saying that the 24 car was 6th on the warm up session.

[Aysedasi]

It is of course, but you can't just give up support for the Rebs, can you?

Yes, Kapadia did a good job.

And then 4th as they did a fast last lap. Chance for a podium? Andrew might need some champagne

[GT6]

I agree with you, if we had standard qualificaiton sessions, it would not have been a problem. It is why I think, that the rules should take in account the specificity of this year edition.

I've got the stream going with RLM audio, I'm only going to be able to watch the first half hour before I have to run out. I'm going to try and see as much as I can but the schedule change this year has thrown me for a loop.The best time is going to be when the family goes to bed and I can concentrate on this and this only

I'd normally say 'lightweight', but......

I hope these Hydrogen cars dont become the norm. It looks dreadful, makes very little sound and looks slower than a Formula E car.

[wewantourdarbyback]

It's a test mule, I doubt in actual competition they will be that slow.

[rdjones]

The cars are rolling

And they will roll very fast...

Just before we start, here are the top speeds from Q.

[Aysedasi]

Here we go then. Have a great race everyone.

[Simmi]

Enjoy the race folks! It feels weird not to be there but I've made peace with it just in time for the drop of the flag.

Rest for the start here and MotorTrend TV is straight Eurosport with commercials. Have my iced coffee ready and thinking it was a poor choice. 60F overcast and breezy here, it's almost cold sitting outside so the wife can sleep without the tv noise.

I skipped over the intro, rain over night before the race? And now sounds like again all evening with storms?

And looks like IDECx2 was sent fully to the rear to start.

[Adam43]

I’m ready.
