Goodday ladies and gentlmen!
As the upcoming Porsche Cup championship is the first "real weather" series, I believe it's good to open a general thread about that, to discuss strategies ("bring water to your own mill", we say in Italy, and as a beginner that's the case), weather forecast and generic chats about the races.
The first race of the championship is going to be at the most famous belgian track, home to an emotional 24h race on GTWC.
Race is going to start at 8pm GMT, but "virtual" race start is going to be at 9pm Belgium time. Looking at the weather forecast today, the temperature is going to be low (under 10°C), with a chance of rain. Potentially, the race is going to start on a dry track, with rain coming after some laps (or viceversa, there's a good chance of a mixed race). The first "dynamic weather" race is likely going to be very dynamic.
I'm excited, I hope I can find time to practice on a wet track (as always, I will join the race only if I feel I can be safe - and I would really love to).
edit: race time at 9pm instead of 1pm
