I know this is not a fav track for Forum members.
I know most of them never trust weather forecasts.
I know some will say again every forecast for a GP say the same (which isn't true).
But this time it looks like the last F1 GP at the french track, will be waved goodbye with some fallen drops:

I'm not sad about Magny Cours will be out, but I'm really praying for a wet GP to see something closer to real racing.

Ever seen the I-500 schedule for rain delay? It goes on for 485 pages, and can last up to 2 months. Please, just go race you bunch of lightweights
open wheeled oval racing?Quote:

weather.com is kind of unreliable. I would probably look somewhere else...
I love the track in video game land. But the real life track is a bore.
As a matter of fact, the next four races are going to be a snooze fest since no overtaking happens at any of them (although the Hungaroring is also one of my favorite pixelated tracks...).
Hungaroring was a boring race... until last year, when that rain gave us the most exciting races of the year.
And it would be a nice end for Magny Cours.
I think intermittent showers would be even better. :p :
While I don't particularly care for Magny-Cours as a track, it was the venue of the first F1 race I ever watched live - the 1991 French GP. I'm not kicking up a fuss that it's going that I would if Silverstone went or when Spa was dropped those couple of times - but a small part of me will probably be sad to see the back of the place for that one sole reason.
I hope it rains!!
Rain forecast for Sunday:

It rained every bloody day for the last 10 days here, but as the norm in modern F1, it will change and might be dry for those 2 hours of quals and for the race. :\
Then Fisi will easily win :p :Quote:

I can't remember exactly since when DC drives the red car
I understand your feelings pino, but that was no compliment towards Jarno. I mean even Albers might kick them all in a good/fast car! ;)Quote:

Its a rubbish track but I'm hopping for something of a repeat of the '99 race.
Magny Cours was a track I looked forward to in the 1990s but not no more. There used to be lots of overtaking and collisions into the hairpin. Current F1 cars are too aero dependent now.
I loved that moment!!!Quote:

Just so you know :p :
Is there a radar weather map similar to the one we have for Melbourne like this: http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR023.loop.shtml
Thanks if you have.
