The drivers, teams and marshalls in the supposedly highest tier in motorsport are afraid of a little water. If they were aquaplaning, I would completely understand having the safety car out or postponing the race, but this is just sad. Just plain silly to watch the "top tier" racing division not being able to handle less than optimal conditions.
 
The track workers are trying to dry the kerbs with such gusto that it's unbelievable! :lol:

Was hoping to see a couple racing laps before I had to go, but apparently that's not going to happen. See you guys later

Couldn't agree with you more, they should have started the race two laps ago.
 
Ok safety reasons... But they are looking too much into it, after F1 Monaco GP 8 laps done behind SC and it was time to get Inters when it got into the pits, now SC keeping deployed after 45 minutes with teams getting Inters meanwhile...
FIA being as stupidest ever...
 
Nothing against the Corvettes but Larbre should be using the succesor to this:

I'm going to start adding "blind whinging about safety cars" to the drinking game.

There are several reasons the SC is still out - the biggest one being the fact there are marshals on track. They've already given the call that the track conditions have cleared up, so it has nothing to do with standing water anymore.
 
Get on with it. :banghead:
 
"Let's get a jet dryer out!" :p ;)

It would take more than an hour to go around the track once.
 
While we're still waiting for the first green flag, are there actually any rumors/plans that Henry Pescarolo will return to Le Mans? Really miss the Pescarolo cars.
 
Safety Car in this lap
 
Here we go with the 23 and a bit hours of Le Mans.

I KNOW RIGHT?

It breaks my heart seeing all this years his face on the gallerys and reports but no news about his legendary face returning to the paddock...

AND WE'RE GOING GREEN IN 3...2...1...! :gtpflag:
 
About time this SC nonsense stopped, there was barely any spray coming off the cars.
