Currently absolutely hammering down here (20 mins from CC). Anyone know if they may cancel the racing due to the rain or do they tend to carry on regardless?

Cheers.

I was going to attend but though that 5 hrs plus in the rain wouldn't make for a fun day. Did it go ahead? I remember seeing a track ready MG ZR being pulled by a motor home at around 14:30 in melksham and presumed it had been canceled.

I went up to watch some of the practice sessions and the conditions were appalling. The rain was driving towards the Camp/Tower side of the circuit and it was actually painful to stand facing the direction of the wind. I have been going to Combe for 25 years and cannot remember conditions quite so wet and windy.

I went in the end. It stopped raining at about 2ish, and the track began to get a dry line towards the middle of the afternoon. Some of the Caterhams were spinning like tops around Quarry - made for great viewing!
