6 December 2008
Race Day 2: Grand Racing at Dubai Autodrome
Heavy rains force officials to cancel the second day of racing at the circuit
Overnight torrential rains in Dubai served to flood many areas in and around Dubai Autodrome forcing officials to cancel the final day of the two day Grand Racing event. Several corners and the pitlane of the circuit were submerged under water, at some points the water level was over 1 meter deep.

The Federation International Automobile (FIA) Stewards of the meeting released this statement at 11.15am on Saturday: “Following a track inspection by the race directors of the FIA GT3 Championship, GP2 Asia and the Speedcar Series it is their collective view that the volume of water on the track, and the likelihood of there being any improvement during the day, would make it impossible to run any races safely. The Stewards of the Meeting therefore in accordance with Article 141 of the 2008 FIA International Sporting Code have accepted their advice and cancel all races today.”

what? I was going to complain here that eurosport had dropped GP2 from their schedule today, then I read that :P

Bad luck for D'Ambrosio, he had a good chance to win today.

The Dubai track is prone to flooding. Remember they had to use the short version last season as turn 5 was under water.

Flooding's a problem in a lot of ares in the United Arab Emirates, cos it rains so rarely most roads don't have proper drainage systems. There isn't really a need most of the time, as any time it does flood, the heat the next day will evaporate the rain very rapidly.

Did the organisers even have wet tyres with them?
