I'm not even sure why they have that giant bowl that they can see inside anyway.

It's wrapped in black plastic, so it's not really see through apart from the hole they put their arm in.

...and Hill is so short, he can't see in that anyway.

They arent going to race in this, surely?

IIRC it was, and the same number came out anyway to put his teammate on pole!

Honestly what the hell? Why did they even start this? It was obvious it was too wet.

I dont want to say i told you so, but...

[porsche962fan]

can't they just red flag and give half points only ??

cos otherwise this is farcical

Hey I'm just saying how it looked on TV. It was suspect especially with the jokes about lowering the table. That's all I'm saying. Coincidences happen.

So what happens if it is called off? Enough distance for half points? 4 races at Brands!?

It looked an awful lot like he looked in the hole as he was putting his arm in

time running out

and none of the drivers wants to continue


AFAIK a result cannot be declared because 50% of the race has not been completed

[Jon411]

Despite some of the ridiculous comments on X about RWD favouritism, it needs to be safe for all the cars to run.

I have a feeling they may send the cars back out behind the safety car to get to half distance so they can award points if anything does happen.

[porsche962fan]

^ restart under safety car

that's just farcical

[TinTopGrumpy]

Well at least it will quell the arguments about the draw. It's backfired on Hill now if he did do it.

No chance they're going to race, they just want to get to half distance to declare a result.

6pm curfew means something different where I’m from apparently.

That's why I thought they weren't going to race. Guess they're allowed a certain number of breaches or something.
