So how long before the racing is stopped for fog? Another 2 hours?

Manthey finally admit they got it wrong and change to wets after a shortened stint.

How much shorter was the stint though?

Not entirely sure what the Audi S3 driver was trying to do when he was patting out the flames on his four ringed barbecue?

For those who haven’t seen it:

Can confirm, I'm here at Nords watching the race.

Ah, you lucky bugger I love the atmosphere there. Not possible for me to make it down there this year, so I'm very grateful for the excellent live broadcasts on YT.

Lovely to see the Manta in fine fettle, nice pics. Have a great weekend

Edit: just noticed that you own a Manta - does it have a thread in Readers' Cars?

I do, sorry about the delayed responce, I've not been paying attention much to online , though relaxing at a friend's apartment having come back from the track.

So the 911 goes from being the last to stop to the first, which is likely a disadvantage.

Guven is looking handy though.

And now back in for what look like slicks again after only 6 laps on wets.

No apology needed, who wants to stare at forum posts when they are at the N24?

I look forward to reading the thread, thanks.

RED FLAG

[rallycross]

Red flag good idea no one can safely race in fog.

[airbusA346]

Grello just pits when the red flag comes out.

[ArnageWRC]

I thought there would be one this weekend......

Some good pace from Guven - in the last 2 laps.

[airbusA346]

I wonder if this be an advantage or disadvantage for Grello.

Not sure, but 72 was also in the pits

Do they restart with the gaps these days?

Last time there was Red for Fog they re started S if it were a new race, if you were on the lead lap

[Jader1973]

Say the fog doesn’t clear until the sun comes up - do they just lose 6 or 7 hours of racing?

Yes, the clock is still ticking.

Yes. In 2021 there was about 9.5 hours of racing. 59 Laps.
