Everything in order, dinner with the team coming up. Driver's meeting tomorrow at 08.45 am, then first timed practice. Rules say every driver has to complete two full laps to be allowed to start in the race. There are some forecasts saying there´ll be rain for the second timed practice tomorrow night, so it´s important to get some decently fast laps already in the forenoon (if it´s dry then no one will be able to top that if it rains during the second practice).
I´ll be starting out tomorrow to first check that we have a good balance in the chassis and then I check that the car handles well on the bumpy Nordschleife part of the track too. After that the other drivers will do their laps and hopefully at the end of the session Martin will get an opportunity to put in a good lap with an almost empty fuel tank.
Incredibly warm weather today so we´re drinking A LOT of water. If it gets this hot during the race it´ll very much be a question of having a driver line-up that can race without making mistakes in the heat since it will be truly exhausting at the end of every 100-110 minute stint. The night will then be a blessing when it cools down.
The atmosphere is great as usual! A lot of parties going on around the track and all teams are cheerful and eager to get out on the track.
 Rasmus has promised to put the wheels back on the car before I go out on the track tomorrow.Labels: Racing |
