Have they changed the weather for the 1 hour Spa race?
It used to be that almost every race you had rain starting between lap 5 and 9 that required changing to IM tires. The last 3 times I did the race, there was no or little rain before lap 17, so that the dynamic of the race changed considerably.
Anyone else the same experience?

I didn’t run it today, but I did yesterday morning and for the first time ever I saw no rain at all. 1 hour of clear skies. Totally changed things. I was using the Porsche 919 and could have 1 pitted but decided to two pit so I could stay on fuel mode 1 and try and post some lap times. Without rain and two putting I fully lapped the field once and about half twice.
