The rain overnight in Dubai was epic, monsoon level, for hour after hour. There was also a lot of road flooding, abandoned cars, entire roads closed. The modest drainage at the track had no chance. The whole pitlane was ankle deep. Parts of the track (which has a surprising amount of elevation change) became a small lake.
It’s a shame because it’s a nice event. Good track, relaxed atmosphere, pretty good access, great pizza. Slightly lacklustre entry list this year though. Mostly the three German marques in GT3, no Ferraris, no Brit cars (other than, oddly, a Lotus Exige), no random RS.01s or Corvettes. The most exotic specimen was a great-sounding, ugly-as-sin Vortex V8 which sadly broke after 33 laps.
