21:03:42 The sun peaks out....

The last couple hours have been quite interestig here at the Circuit de La Sarthe, with many cautions due to rain. #3 Audi R10 was involved in a very bad accident at Tertre Rouge right before the long Mulsanne straight. The driver, Mike Rockenfeller was unhurt in the accident, however the car had to be pushed off the track. Rockenfeller worked frantically on the R10 trying to get it mobile to limp back to the pits, however in the end it was towed off the course ending its day. Currently the sun is peaking through the clouds and the track is drying, slowly. My bet is as soon as they switch to the dry tires, it will start to rain again.
