Having been there in the spring, it can snow at anytime in the Eifel mountains. Very changeable. When we did a nordschleife tour years ago one of the lads skidding on ice at the top of the track during an early morning run, yet also suffered overheating on a boiling afternoon.Plans to race in the Americas scrapped.
What about those dates though?
Apparently it can snow in October in the Nurburg region!
Imola is a 2 day event so not sure what the format is going to be.
Interesting! - I wonder if we'll get a third race in the UK? .... wouldn't suprise me to see a donnington or Brands hatch if they can't get to the Americas or Asia
According to Sky the Portimao race may be the first one this season where a limited number of spectators are allowed in.One of my petrol head mates is really excited by Portimao. I must admit I don't know anything about the track. It looks like a baby spa though. This is a very good thing!
There is no way that’s going to happen.Hopefully they get rid of practice all together for that 2 day weekend. Would make the race a bit more unpredictable if the teams had no practice session on a new circuit
Isn't that a bit like saying football teams cant have training sessions. That would probably help us as our set piece record is fairly bad (both defending and attacking)Hopefully they get rid of practice all together for that 2 day weekend.

No, because as Randy says they all have simulators down to the nth degree anyway. Take Friday practice off them and at least there's a chance they might have programmed the sim wrong and don't have chance to get it right in the hour they get on Saturday morning.Isn't that a bit like saying football teams cant have training sessions.

I understand that people want more mixed up races, but the problem is that practice sessions have effectively become what were once testing. I think that you either have testing back or you aĺlow in season testing (expensive) otherwise the development of the cars will be reduced.No, because as Randy says they all have simulators down to the nth degree anyway.
