[Sandpit Steve]

Colapinto out in 8th on the alternate strategy. This could be a grandstand finish.

Seemed far too much stewarding going on

[Sandpit Steve]

Pissing it down again for the Porsche race.

You never know it might make it interesting, but they are trying their best not to, with a safety car start

Red flags out already, after half a lap behind the safety car.

Someone span behind the safety car

Track limits not a thing in Porsche Supercup? Or just being let off because it’s wet?

I think the latter. It was borderline if they allowed them to race at all and I don't think those exceeding the limits early on were necessarily doing so intentionally... Although these last few laps the track is drying and I've seen a few taking the piss with limits.

I think in a lot of places that makes sense, but a lot going intentionally wide out of the final corner!

yep, I think they briefly entered a different timezone they went so wide!

But they all did it in-line so I guess no advantage. They are also fairly lenient with PSC I think. I've seen some shockers in PSC that they woudln't normally get away with even in F3.

Some great racing yesterday in interesting conditions, more of the same today please. Browning has some work to do.

Let's see if Richard Verschoor can make up for the disqualification post sprint race yesterday (he won sprint, but post race his plank was deemed below min thickness). a few minutes now to start of feature F2 race.

[Victor.Lee]

Hadjar didn't make out of pits in time, he starts from pit lane! Pit lane closed literally a second or 2 before he got to end of pit lane, so had to stop.

[Adrian W]

I'm sure that some drivers in F2 don't make any attempt to get their cars out of the way once their race is done

[Leithen]

Antonelli somehow managed to make a 6 second lead turn into a 12 second lead at pit entry after the safety car.

Thing is hownthebwin happened won't matter in the long run it will just show antonelli now has a sprint race win and a feature race win. Maybe more to come.

Carnage at the end of F3 qualifying, Monza-style with half the field missing the flag and at least one car having to abort a flying lap due to a blocked track.

RD would have been justified in calling a red flag.

[Sandpit Steve]

And almost the same at the end of F2 qualifying.

[Sandpit Steve]

Weekend’s action about to kick off with the F3 sprint race.

Track is damp but they’re all on the slick tyres.

Aaaand safety car
