nope, I get the missing picture too, if you right click and "open in new tab" it loads.

Its because this forum is not https and that picture isn't I think.
Either way, the geniuses at PH HQ broke it.
Hopefully that should have fixed it and you should be able to see the image now

Sadly we're back to the awkward times for this race, practise sessions in the middle of the day on a Friday were great when I was living in the Middle East but now just mean that I don't get to watch them.
Much prefer sessions at 3am, but I guess I'm an oddity with that opinion lol
