The SC idiot picks up the wrong car AGAIN

Yes the Rowe Porsches look similar, but you need the one with the 3 digits.
998, not 98. Got it?

--

Luckily the Porsche 998 slowed down and waited for the SC.
Another bad mark for the race organization.

This is the 3rd stupid SC period, right?

SC has picked up the wrong car.

Varsha and Watson is an unbelievably bad commentary combination. They're just talking utter gibberish.

This is, yet again, not the best look for SRO, regardless of whether "the teams want it" or not. SC drivers should be able to read numbers.

Bentley: The car is 100% reliable.

Aye well the amount of oil on the circuit earlier disagrees with that.

#110 Bentley pits as we go to SC. Everyone is moving faster under SC than they would have been under FCY, so this costs them more than it would have done.

#31 Bentley say the commentators. This will be a long yellow.

Why are they waiting to call a yellow for this one? It won't clear itself, the car is destroyed and the barrier needs rebuilt.

Ha ha ha.

Unlucky for them, there will be a lengthy FCY period before the SC enters ino play an various cars will stop, so the leader might be someone completely different.

What did we have? 5 minutes of racing?

It isn't exactly pro is it?

Why did they pit Vanthoor? Why is Watson saying it's a good strategy call? If you pit before the yellow, then everyone is travelling at racing speed and you lose lots of time. If you wait until the FCY then you can pit and everyone is going slowly. Then you're out before the SC comes out - which is another point where the other cars will be travelling fast.

Pitting before the FCY: Bad
Pitting during the FCY: Good
Pitting during the SC: Bad

It isn't that hard. If anyone wants to hire me to sit on the pit wall and tell them basic stuff then I'm available for a fee.

If the 98 hasn't taken its joker pitstop yet, it should do so now. If the others take a normal stop, it may get back on the lead lap.

Dear Lord, now Watson is saying racing drivers using kerbs is a young person thing and his generation didn't use them. Things were better in his day!

Nostalgia is heroin for old people.

Im a little frustrated that in 90 minutes or so all you will be able to see are headlights and weve had more FCY/SC than green. I know it cant be avoided if barriers need repair and the weather is dodgy but it doesnt exactly live up to the expectation that this grid creates.

If they had no choice, then they will be banking on the other cars pitting under SC (as opposed to FCY), which would vault Vanthoor back up the field. But if he had time left, it definitely wasn't smart.

Top right, beside the settings cog. Takes a minute to load. It will take you here:

https://timing.71wytham.org.uk/analy...cfd03fa2e3980a

Sometimes it'll require a refresh. A LOT of data in there. It's 100% accurate but you might need to work out what some of it means. For example, where it says "yellow", thats a lap that was green with a yellow sector. FCY and SC are what we'd consider under yellow.
