Looking at the forecasted dew point they might not even restart the race. It is at 17 degrees for tomorrow, which is a good indication at which temperature the fog starts to disappear.

No restart at all? Or restart mid day tomorrow?

PIT EXIT GOES GREEN 9.30! We might get a sprint race after all. :dopey:

EDIT: Information from the race management: The fog in the Grand Prix circuit area means that the teams can at least drive to the starting grid. The pit lane lights will be switched to green at 9:30 a.m. The next information on how to proceed will also follow at 9:30 a.m.

GP track is still thick with fog and Hatzenbach looks as foggy as it's ever been.

There is movement in the pitlane though...
 
Pity about the fog, though it took most people about half an hour to notice that the race had stopped :lol:

I spent the latter part of the evening with these guys...

..amazingly friendly and hospitable - they not only gave me several beers, but also fed me with a plateful of freshly BBQ'd bratwurst, and a pasta side - at 1am!

These probably didn't help much though...

.. and yet, even at 2.30 am as I staggered back to my hotel, I found Bugatti's top secret environmentally friendly prototype...

It's just turning 9.30am here now, and I'm going back to the circuit for one last time. I woke up about 5 am with my backpack still on my back :embarrassed:

Cars on Grid so they can be send off WHEN it's possible, next info at 10:00

Grand Prix part needs to be Green, it can't be raced under yellow since that will cool down the tires to much (they tried in another race)
 
Current standing is 1 lap before the race was red flagged, AUDI is in the lead.
All repairs/work on the cars are allowed, they can in principle be built up from new.

EDIT:
Mercedes driver wants to start the race under CODE 120(km) mostly to get the cars on track for the fans i guess..

So that means that we might see #99 BMW back on the grid, even if it's several laps down from the leaders. :odd:
 
Still looks pretty foggy on the starting grid.

Was the damage just too severe on the #99 Rowe BMW to try and fix it during this downtime?

Any chance you could take a pic or two from those Cupra intervention vehicles? Please?

I'll try, though I've taken hundreds of pics of cars on track and they are mostly terrible

The northloop is starting look drivable, judging from the feed. Hopefully they can get going soon.

I'm on the bus at Hatzenbach and the fog is still very bad, and it's pretty cold too - hope to see some racing but wouldn't be surprised if it stays red for a while...
 
GP circuit still looks very bad on the stream. I think best case we're still at least an hour out

Sadly, I'm about 30m from the track and I can barely see it. :(
