I think dipping into mid-20's *is* possible, but we may never know if tomorrow is as red as today.

Possibly the laptimes at 3-4am during the race will come down a bit more, but those fuel regs are so tricky.

What about the fuel regs, you mean purposeful coasting to save fuel? Unlike in F1, the limit is per lap not per race, so you can't really save fuel for later use.

But that means that there effectively is a ceiling-effect (cellar, in fact ) in terms of what can be attained on a lap-by-lap basis, right? I mean that it might not be possible to see cars going a second underneath their qualy-lap because the fuel restricts them to get that little bit extra on a lap

You have the biggest sporting event in Europe, and yet it is amazing how many incidents/crashes they can miss... I understand it ain't easy to have camera around such a large track, but still, it amazes me.

Yesterday Martin Haven explained that if there is no camera around a large part of the track that's because the road are open after qualifications.

Has been this way forever. Since those roads are usually quite busy (especially Les Hunaudières), they are opened all through Friday. Can't really have tons of cables/equipment laying around.

According to EI (Mercier), it is still likely that Gene will replace Duval. Oliver Turvey is being lined up at Jota Sport

I don't understand why that could possibly be a reason?

You don't have to have the state of the art equipment I think for that purpose.

Yesterday we were looking at a broadcast, and commentators had not a clue why the last red flag was shown for example. It looked really very amateuristic broadcasting, and that for such a big event.

Imagine that in the world cup we would have only one still camera for anything that happens before the match (warming up, interviews, anthems etc), and then for the match a whole bunch of cameras.

I mean, we are 2014, right?

The TV cameras are already set up around the circuit. They are just not operated. And that's what I don't really understand.
