Weather looks fair at this stage. Too bad day light saving has just ended so race will end close to sunset.

no way they could have possibly known daylight savings was about to end... they could have scheduled it a week or so earlier if they had known...

Are we saying we might get cut short in lap count?

Not sure if that was a sarcastic comment from Sonic?
From my calculation the race will finish about 45 min- 1 hour before sunset actually, not as bad as I thought.

[skaifeman]

I'd say they wanted it to run as late as possible so here in Australia the end of the race is mid afternoon.

Enjoying GT/Chad in the comms box for P1, and Skaife is fantastic when crossed to trackside. It's a better mix.

HAHA!! Yup sure was MF!

But I am sure they can find a way to cut it short still...

[Joe5619]

What a boring qualifying format. 

[skaifeman]

Why was there so much double stacking when the second car could've circulated and not been penalised waiting in the lane? Highly unlikely the SC would only do one lap.

Feeney with a little slow down once the SC was called too.
And how about the pit exit cone for 888, the thing almost needs a 90deg turn to get out.
