From Drummer Knob, about yesterday’s F1 Grand Prix at Spa:
Wasn’t far off that.

It’s OK, they changed over to rain tires.
If it’s not raining at Spa ….. it’s about to. Now it will be another 5 years before they go back to Spa, if they ever do. I want the original course back!!! … and bring back the Targa Florio.
In the 60’s there was a Sebring 12 hr. race that endured one of those Florida tropical downpours that flooded the front Straight with 2 feet of water ( because there are walls on both sides ). There are photos of open cockpit cars filling with water…… but the race continued because the rest of the track only had a couple of inches of standing water. F1 grids now are full of girly men, that never would have survived racing in the 60’s.
