Anyone got a stream they can PM me?
 
Some interesting strategies here... Hmm.
 
Huh...so...looks wet out there. :P
 
Race has been called for today due to lightning strikes. Race 2 might happen tomorrow, but who knows with how crazy the weather has been in Detroit this weekend...?
 
Lightning is a legitimate reason to call the race so I can accept that. :P Hopefully tomorrow isn't affected by weather.

I don't like this rule. But as my favorite driver is JPM, I can live with that today :D

I'm in Australia and even in going to wear a helmet!
 
Can it really be considered "racing in the rain" if nearly every lap is run under caution?
 
At least they red flagged this last accident. I've been watching since about lap 45 or so, and I don't think I've seen a full green lap yet
 
Well, guess we didn't need Dracone for the mess we have right now.

same was watching the NASCAR and have seen nothing but cautions caused by stupid driving.
 
This ending will be pure comedy, like this championship this year..
 
So they changed to a timed finish!?! Are they just making up rules as they go along? LOL

Those rules have been in place for a long time and they even pointed it out at the start of the race.
 
Interesting race. Glad that Bourdais got the win! :cheers:
 
Gutted for Montoya, though I'm surprised the other guys managed to last as I could've sworn they pitted at the same time.

Also, Sato made a damn close call on that restart passing Montoya.
 
Making it a timed race with just 6 laps to go is just annoying though.
