WEC Japan

[gato]

Fisico and his team did fantastic job in Japan WEC weekend yesterday. Their team became second in their GTE Pro class! The race was difficult because it was so hard rain (I didn't see the race because the time gap was too much for me, I was sleeping) but Eurosport showed short highlight of the race and the podium ceremony. AF Corse #51 car team leads their class too in team table. Very interesting end of season follows...

You didn't miss much. Only 16 laps were run, most of them behind the Safety Car. The race started under caution, ran 8 laps behind the SC and was stopped. The restart went for another eight and was red flagged again. After a wait, they just drove the cars to park ferme and gave up.

That was not a race, and only avoided being tile grout by being the wrong colour. Waking up at 2:10 am to watch an average of one lap per 24 minutes was not my greatest idea ever (though I did get a shoutout on Radio Le Mans - 90 minutes into Part 1 of their commentary podcast).

It is great that Fisico and his team-mates are leading the championship. I'd just have preferred their 2nd in the race had been due to something more exciting than, "We completed the out-lap when one of the cars ahead aquaplaned into a wall"... Sadly, the weather didn't co-operate.
