It's right outside the pits, run out there and bolt it back on!

Some dirt on the track inside on a high-speed kink, went by a TCR car and went through it. Around he went.

Especially on the fast cars. It's like spray spray spray spray there's a slow car spray spray spray spray another slow car spray spray

e: only 13 hours in and the radio lemans breakdown is already starting.

He's got it going again, there may be damage but that Land Audi has just lost a fair bit of time with that off.

I'm kind of...surprised? that the #4 Mercedes managed to pull another lap out last stint. I would almost guess that was fuel accumulated over a number of stints, and it may be a one-time trick for them.

Van der Linde just said in an interview that he simply lost the car and the cutted slick simply didn't work for the new amount of rain that came down.

for reference the #912 got a 3-minute penalty due to speeding in a Code 60 zone.

Wonderful cars but the commentators are loving awful, they literally missed everything in the 60s F1 race.

Adrian Newey running a Lotus 49 in this one though.

Gonna be interesting if they restart. The weather radar doesn't look that good, tbh. If they do, and they restart without keeping current deltas/adding them to the result like last time, it's gonna be super interesting regarding the battle at the front.

So theyve been talking up that the rain is getting very heavy and the fog isnt moving much, and then they announce cars to grid in 5 minutes

Like the commentators said they might as well have a go at this point and if it still looks unraceable then you pack up.

I missed most of the rain while I slept, I heard the commentators say something about cut slicks, do these cars have proper wet tires?

Yes, and at one point some teams were cutting extra grooves into their wets
