Yarp.

Although if the radar is anything to go by those needing to go again are going to need some luck.

Rossi's run is going to be particularly interesting as he has taken off the diffuser sidewalls.

Mattias leaving the LEIST amount of room between his wheels and the wall :8:

Correct on the first part and I think so on the second. Way it was presented by MP and RM is as long as you get out on track for an official run today, if something happens to the car you can complete the attempt tomorrow if needed.

Daly way off the pace. Bumper candidate for sure.

A pair of Code Browns on lap 3 leads to a much slower lap 4. Not entirely sure it was worth it.

A stream has suddenly appeared on http://racecontrol.indycar.com/ - that's not normal for quali, is it?

No. Credit to Disney for allowing it to happen.

Rain...

Wickens should be placed back at the front of the queue when (if?) this gets going again.

Oh man, that's suddenly got really damn wet

That might be it, folks.

Rain has stopped for now, there might be a chance. 12 drivers left to take their first turns, which will take about an hour to complete. 2 hours left on the clock.

Apparently going green in 10 minutes time...

First car after a rain delay? Bad news for Schmidt esp. with Hinch already in the cellar.

The alternative is to waive off, but then he'd be stuck behind Servia with no guarantee that either of them would get a second run.

The speed he was showing on his first 2 laps was enough to make me think he can probably squeeze Hinch and get himself in even with all the rubber gone.

Wickens wants it over with.

BT Sport are using the international commentary, ie. not Bestwick, Goodyear and Cheever. This year's Indy 500 is saved (in the UK) :flag:

RtN · PostPosted: Sat May 19, 2018 9:25 pm

At this point Hinch's hopes are either the rain stops everyone from putting in a lap, that Pippa's car is just as crap as Daly's, or that Servia can't find the pace he needs either.

Maybe he could squeak Davison himself if he has to.
