Yea yesterday was the most rain I'd seen in a while. Presumably racing could still happen.   And for those wondering I am fine.

Time for the first training in Baku...

Let's hope everything will go alright, but I've got a bad feeling about this weekend.

Why? Are you afraid of terrorist attacks?

No! Because the track is so extremely tight in some places...

 

I'm especially afraid about turn 8, where they pass some sort of ancient tower. Also parts where they reach speeds of 340+ with only a relatively small place to avoid the walls. I really hope I'm wrong, but I would not be surprised to see a very serious accident there this weekend. Especially in GP2 which is of course full of young guys wanting to prove what they can do.

Ah yes, you're right. I saw the practice 2 yesterday and indeed, near that historical castle really is a tight corner. I predict we will see the safety car at least twice tomorrow...it's impossible to not see accdent in this race.

 

On the other hand, the design of the track looks fine :)

The design looks a whole lot better than basically every new Tilke-racetrack :p 

 

Well it's time for the first GP2-race right now, let's see how it'll go. We are as always represented by Daniël de Jong but only God knows why he's still driving in GP2.

I bought myself a good amount of snacks yesterday, got the drinks ready (non-alcoholic because alcoholics won't help me stay awake for 24 hours :d ) so let's go!

SC in, but not every marshall got the message and halfway on the track they were still waiving SC signs only to suddenly take them away and wave green flags :facepalm:

 

And one lap later Pic makes a mistake and takes Markelov out of the race. New safety car, 3rd in 8 laps :lol:
