Didn't look it to me. On commentary Keating mentioned there being a strong tailwind into the chicane, which could explain the offs on the way into the bus stop we saw.

That makes sense, bumps upset cars a bit then the wind takes care of the rest.

I streamed qualy on the big tv today in stead of just watching on my laptop like usual. It was great to see all the new cars competing for something and got me excited for next week!

I've read/listened to a few GTP preview items and reliability is a concern of course, but I feel like that might not be an issue as there will be so many cautions that we'll get so much of the race run behind a safety car that less stress will be put on the new cars.

You say that but remember a Vette went out at LM under the caution. Course that was the cylinder deactivation unbalance destroying the prop shaft. Cars aren't built to trundle around slowly either

From a few videos I've seen, the rear flashing lights are a nuisance from viewing perspective but maybe it's good from a driver perspective?

And questions answered with some wet running....I've not read reports yet.

They had a pinewood derby while they were there!

That's awesome!

I want that down the banking, no track just straight release and race to the bottom.

**Adam43** · 26 Jan 2023, 03:39 (Ref:4141243)

That would rock.

Unfortunately it was on a standard, but decent, track in a faceless conference room somewhere there by the looks of it.

Forgive me, but is there any way for UK folks of watching this live in the UK without going through a paywall?( I have sky sports and Eurosport)
