Tears from heaven on last Magny Cours?

[andreag]

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.

Give that man a cigar -

When Indy and Nascar all squeal and hissey fit running for cover when it rains so they won't get their $500 hairdos wet, this is when F1 really gets going.

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

[N. Jones]

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...).

[andreag]

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.

[Valve Bounce]

I think intermittent showers would be even better. :

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. :\
