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

open wheeled oval racing?

with rain?

HA!


seriously though its stupidly dangerous not gonna happen

[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. :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. :\

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! ;)

[OmarF1]

rain or no rain, Magny Cours it is still a wider go kart track, a mickey mouse one.

Pino goes which ever way the Pasta Blows!!

Good luck but if you are praying for italian victories then go with the Reds.

[Sleeper]

Its a rubbish track but I'm hopping for something of a repeat of the '99 race.

[wedge]

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!!!
LMAO

[Hazell B]

A friend of mine got a long range weather view for the Silverstone race and rain is about 50/50 for there at the moment. Perhaps it will alter over the next few days, but a wet Brit GP looks possible and bets are being taken at shorter odds as of today.

Just so you know :p :

[Valve Bounce]

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.
