God I hope this race will be exciting. I have been up for 26 hours now upgrading a clients network and should hopefully get home when it starts.

If its anything like the last race zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It should be better, rain predicted 15 mins into the race, if that does happen it will heat things up with people trying to get their tyres in the pits, and then race at full pelt with a heavy car on a wet surface lol

Rain predicted in 20mins, duration for 20mins so looks like a wet start

Presume its something about the gear changes being quicker and smoother, so they don't loose any power.

I am awake (well I have my eyes open) and I have a rather grumpy Rayer on the phone who is driving back from Gloucester and isn't going to make the start of the race, so instead he decided to talk all over the bloody grid walk!
