Start of meeting has been delayed to 7:50pm due to rain which now has stopped, track is very wet and currently been worked on.
7:35pm: Raining again, could be a long night if we are going to work the track & delay racing only for it to rain again. Sky looks ok to the west, which is the direction it is coming from, so hopefully we will get the meeting on.
7:45pm: Rain stopped again, now the sun is just on the horizon behind bends 3 and 4 so referee says he may have to delay the start of the meeting further.
7:50pm: Sun behind clouds so straight into Heat 1.
