I think this on-off rain situation will become the theme of the weekend.
Red flag! Boutsen off. |

People should stop crashing. Can't recall the first days being this bad/boring recently in terms of red flags.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I know the guardrail damage is a "Le Mans thing" but I can't remember it being that bad as it is this year.
We have lost over 2 hours of track-time already with this kind of stuff. Do they take longer to repair them than usual or are they more careful and throw a red flag even if the rail is just bent? |

This is looking to be an ugly race week.
Only 8 LMP1s. Red flags and broken barriers Rain on qualifying 90% chance of rain on raceday. |

According to Accuweather, the most rain will be from 2-7 PM on Saturday, then we'll get more rain again from 8 AM to the race finish on Sunday. Expect a wet finish |

But it has more often been this way than not. I was lucky that my first years from 99 onwards were hot and sunny, but just look back at the pictures of older races and many were wet. Not so much fun when you are there, but does throw a huge curveball in to the race and has led to some surprise winners in the past.

The problem this time is that the rain aids the team that is already holding a huge advantage anyways.

If the weather is going to be like this, we may see some surprises
Still we don't know Toyota's real pace |
