Driver now out of the #36 Alpine. That's not a good sign. If they turn the onboard feed off that'll probably be the death knell.

... And no sooner did I post that than they did indeed turn the onboard feed off.

Think that's it for the Alpines

I don't think this rain will last long at all using my weather radar app.

I'd stick.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Total lottery, it seems. Even with weather radar.

Is the #14 purple car with gold wings painted on it supposed to be Spyro the dragon?

Similar. They call it Spike. And they have a Porsche called Rexy.

[snotrag]

Bundle agrees with me!

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Yet dry in Houx.

[airbusA346]

Wets for #4 and #6 Porsche.

If only you had a hotline to one of the teams, eh? You'd think they would have hired ace strategists like yourself.

(I'm just teasing, btw)

Just watching the onboard of the corvette wow that’s so slippy in the rain - on the brakes on the throttle in the corners it’s all over the place - amazing driving across the grid in these mixed conditions

Brundle and Constanduros talk far too much, slow down chaps, it's too bloody much.

Have you ever watched vintage motorsport footage, like 1950's? The commentators literally just make occasional comments, with long periods of silence in between. It's actually really weird!

yeah I know Rexy and Roxy, the green and pink 911s, I didn't know they had an LMP car too.
