So how many laps do we think until the rain is heavy enough to red flag it? 10 laps?
It’s not the rain that’s the concern, it’s lightning. (I believe it’s because that grounds the medical helicopter)
Well it’s also that apparently all spectators have to be evacuated from the grandstands in the US when there’s lightning. No idea why that’s a thing there and not anywhere else.
Yeah, and that’s fair enough. I’m just traumatized by excessive red flagging in the rain over the past years.
