The first F4 race is about to start. Formation lap under way.

[ANF]

Currently a red flag because of this accident at Virage du Lycée. All drivers are out their cars, thankfully no ambulance required.

[sportyskells]

Car park at the haripin, Where have I seen that before?

[ANF]

Euroformula Open F3 qualifying for race 1 is coming up in a couple of minutes.

Another session with CCTV coverage. I wonder when the real TV team will get to work.

[ANF]

Is that Lundqvist off at Foch?
Or was it a Carlin... Yes, Teppei Natori.

And now I believe Calan Williams is planted in the tyre barrier at Pont Oscar.

Insert surprised pikachu meme.

Lawson's doing 2 series this season? Didn’t know about that.

[ANF]

Pole position for Liam Lawson whose 1:10.504 was 0.342 seconds faster than Marino Sato, who was only three-thousandths of a second faster than Julian Hanses.

[ANF]

Yeah, both Lawson and his fellow Red Bull junior Yuki Tsunoda are racing for Motopark. But they are in different teams in the... FIA F3... International whatever championship.

[sportyskells]

It now in TV broadcast mode

[ANF]

Euroformula Open race coming up!

[ANF]

Umbrellas coming up... And wet weather tyres are coming onto the grid.

[Jeeves]

That can't be wet enough for wet weather tires.

[ANF]

I'm still shook up from the sound of Doohan's crash at Foch. It belongs in a car crash sound effects library somewhere.

[balage06]

I'm happy for Lawson.   Hopefully he can turn around the season in the "main F3" series as well...

[Sterzo]

Currently a red flag because of this accident at Virage du Lycée. All drivers are out their cars, thankfully no ambulance required.

There's always been some debate about the ideal racing line for a corner.

[Risil]

It's like the original Formula E!

[ANF]

So is it worth catching up with the GT race from earlier this evening? Here it is anyway.

[ANF]

Rainfall, sunset and forty GT4 cars around the streets of Pau. Attention!

[ANF]

The third and final F4 race is coming up in 10 minutes.

Some kind of problem for Stuart White in the pit lane but he's on track now. "The battery was a little flat."

And the rain is back.

[ANF]

Fastest in qualifying for the Grand Prix, by the way, was Julian Hanses, 0.052 seconds ahead of Yuki Tsunoda who was 0.000 faster than Marino Sato. Liam Lawson lines up in fourth. All of them qualified within one-tenth of a second.

Linus Lundqvist lost his front wing at La Gare, Jack Doohan crashed out at Pont Oscar, and Billy Monger spun and caused a red flag.

[sportyskells]

There was a bit of a mess on the GT race and there is a delay

[ANF]

Just a bit of a mess.

[ANF]

The F3 race will start at 15:50, in 35 minutes.

There's still 30 minutes to go in the GT race.

[OvDrone]

Thanks for the headsup. Really looking forward to the race.

[ANF]

I just realized that it's the four Motopark drivers who share the first two rows. I wouldn't be surprised if only one or two of them make it to the end of the race.

[balage06]

Just a bit of a mess.

 

That Ginetta is obviously shocked (sorry I'll see myself out)

 

[ANF]

This GT podium presentation takes forever...

The speaker even had to remind the winners to open their bottle of champagne. The champagne! Please open it, spray it, waste it!

And now the Am podium or whatever it is.

Edited by ANF, 19 May 2019 - 14:00.

[ANF]

The F3 race will start at 16:30 apparently.

[sportyskells]

Cars heading to grid now with race now due to start 4.30pmcet

[ANF]

Here we go then.

[OvDrone]

Finally. Woohoo!

[ANF]

Damp track, standing start, everybody on slicks. Attention!

[ANF]

SC for Andrade at Buisson. And three cars on wet weather tyres now.

[Frood]

Looks like Billy Monger might have pulled a blinder here.

[ANF]

Unconventional pass by Lawson! Great stuff.

[ANF]

Now Monger made it look like a conventional pass.

[OvDrone]

C'mon Billy!

[balage06]

That was really unnecessary...

[Frood]

And the two leaders collide! Lawson clumsily puts Hanses into the barrier.

[ANF]

And now Lawson made it look like...

[ANF]

Tsunoda pits for wets.

[OvDrone]

Lawless Lawson.

 

What a limp and lame move dude.

[Frood]

The collision that put Monger in the lead might have actually hindered him with this safety car.

[Frood]

That was a bit embarrassing for Lundqvist.

[OvDrone]

CLASSIC

[OvDrone]

God-tier ghost marshals.

[ANF]

Das is on slicks.

[Frood]

Billy!

[ANF]

Yay! Great drive by Monger and great call to pit for wets at the start!
