Weather forecast, Alan… well, follow Mike's advice! Clouds, rain and, worse, 14 to 16° C! Last updates: https://www.hvmracing.fr/gp-de-pau-h...e-des-retours/ and more in English on https://www.grandprixdepau.fr/les-ne...d-prix-de-pau/

Delta should not worry about the weather on the 23rd, sun and 25° are announced on Pau Arnos.

Just for delta at Arnos track tomorrow, hope you'll enjoy it. Take care in the rather fast right-left after the pits, there is a change of level making the exit dangerous… Anyway, a good place to test bump steer if I can say so.
Gerry papa bear…

Alan Morgan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Sitting in the square at Pau. Just had a very nice steak with Bearnaise sauce. The original plan was for the race trucks to meet up at the Hippodrome to be escorted to the track but it seems that a gypsy invasion at the Hippodrome has caused a hasty adjustment to plans.

Pigeon, you said pigeon… You have the choice between German, French and English ones. All are pigeons looking like pigeons. But the English ones fly on the left of the sky they might have an accident. French ones could be on strike. If you can speak german, go for those! If not, send your pics to Mike he knows how to manage with this stuff!
More seriously delta, did you have a good time and how was the shake down?

Thanks for your thanks, you're much welcome. I guess that if your chassis settings are convenient at Arnos you won't need too many adjustments for Pau-Ville apart from cold weather and rain… Enjoy it and as you said be safe.

Last weather forecast gives Sat morning 12° C, few showers, 17° in the afternoon, storms at night;
Sunday 10° in the morning, cloudy, 17° in the afternoon, cloudy few showers.

Is it safe to assume that it was all a bit wet for free practice?

Browsing the results I suspect that things may have been a bit fraught this morning. (Although I'm guessing about the 4 drivers in the team for this weekend.)
