Wood warping thrills.

It isn't rocket science and even your scribe can grasp that wasting time, money, tyres and fuel to manage a lap that is about twenty seconds a lap slower is a tiny bit pointless. The problem lay with weather and quite a lot of it. There was a corking deluge just as the session started and from then on it was wet, drying, damp, wet etc all through the session. Mainly it was only the brave,ambitious or desperate who went out to play.  The #8 Toyota went out to see if they had cured whatever the gremiln was that had sidelined the car yesterday. We were not quite sure what Davidson's brief was.. maybe to see they could break the car again but he got stuck despite the track conditions. He didn't break it and things settled down into a rather boring session. There was no chance of going anywhere near as quickly as yesterday so the mostly the wise stayed safely at home in the dry simply putting in the odd sighting lap.

The initial heroes were the #32 Lotus that had not been out yesterday due to alleged 'financial' problems that resulted in the bailiffs 'borrowing' a few bits from the car! Anyway they sent the lads out to plough round in the dodgy conditions to see if they could remember where the track went!

There was really very little to talk about so we won't bore you.. however like all the other sessions this year it ground to a halt with a red flag when Matt Downs stuffed his #40 Boutsen Ginion Racing Oreca 3 Nissan into the barriers at some speed between Mulsanne and Indianapolis... roughly where the Mercedes went flying in 1999 and he did untold damage to the Armco and the debris was everywhere. We are wondering if this red flag in every session has happened before..

Anyway a rather dreary pointless session stopped ..
