Midnight Weather Update.

By P. Michael Clarke

Meteo France the French weather service has just announced that heavy rain is expected for tonight around 12:00 midnight. This situation will definitely change the makeup of the race, and benefit the GT1 cars, since they are all equipped with ABS brakes.

At the present time, the temperature has dropped dramatically by comparison to last night, when it was hot and muggy. The drop in temperature would indicate that a weather system is passing through. The weather has been unstable for the last few days, and the predictions have been for rain. Only Mother Nature knows for sure...

This situation is not unlike last year when rain was threatening and actually held off until the after the finish of the race.
