    Just a friendly reminder that along with the F1 in China, both the WEC and ELMS seasons kick off at the weekend at Silverstone.

    The ELMS race starts at 2:30 on Saturday while the WEC will start from 12:00 on Sunday.

    A good weekend to be a motorsport fan :)

    The two drivers from each crew must each set at least one timed lap during qualifying. The average of the two best lap times (the best from each driver) will serve as the reference time for establishing the grid.

    Hard to argue with any of that, and yet those in charge of the rules would standardise the LMP2 class, a class which has consistently proved to have the tightest racing without engines and chassis choice restriction, hopefully the rule makers realise before its too late that LMP2 is just fine as it is.

    That's new, they ran the with mirrors on the wheel arches at Silverstone.
    It's a pity they can't just run with the in car rear view camera, that was cool.
