If anyone crashes big time in Race 1, they're probably not getting it fixed for Race 2.

Sky Sports is showing it live from 1.30am - 4.30. Is that going to be enough time to cover it?

Post subject:  Re: IndyCar Series @ Texas Motor Speedway (Twin 275's)
I'd assume they'll carry on past 4:30am if needed.

They've timed this well actually. It'll give us something to do when all the cameramen go to sleep at Le Mans.

Half points for each, I thought. So full points if you finish in same position both races.
