I’m WOW at this news...
8 hrs of Indianapolis?!!!!?


(Hope they use part of the oval)

I can't see them managing to leave the entire oval out......

But I doubt if they will use a full corner (Turn one???) of the oval at full speed, shades of F1 2005 and Michelin tires.....   :)

Local yellows with marshals at high-speed sections at a wet Spa... Oh, I'm sure all 240 drivers know what they are doing in the spray.

Still spray off line, slicks would be a gamble right now. I'd wait at least 15 minutes.

The best part of the 1996 IRL Indy 500 is that the name Slick Racin Gardner made it to the history books  :p

Is this pit exit onto the Kemmel Straight something just for the GT races, or is this something they're going to use for F1 as well? That's a bloody long pit exit.

I think the barrier is damaged and that it's the reason why this is taking so long.

I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't get the safety car started. ;)

No, you're right. I jumped back in the onboard feed at it looked like lengthy barrier repairs.

I hadn't heard of the leading driver, Dennis Lind, so I looked him up - it turns out he's Kevin Magnussen's cousin (and hence Jan's nephew)!

Its just for the Spa 24 race (and any other endurance races at Spa). 

 

WEC and F1 use the normal shorter pitlane.

#43 is not a fast car. They can improve by not making the mistakes other teams are.

Why are they taking such a big risk?
