Yesterday was an amazing day! Lots of a tion on and off the track. I was completely wrong about attendance - it was packed! The support series this year are a lot of fun. Went to the back paddock where historic GP cars are as well as Ferrari Challenge and Porsche IMSA GT3 Cup cars. Full access, you can walk inside any of the tents, talk to the mechanics, look at the cars, etc. Prett much every single historic GP car was getting rebuilt in-between sessions. Amazing to see the level of commitment on those guys!

The weather right now is partly cloudy, chance of precipitation less than 50%. We'll see if it stays dry...

What a great weekend so far!!

Does anyone have the time final session will take place? Try to plan my day. Saw some sweet rides in downtown last night. The highlight had to be the Bugatti Veyron. It stopped all traffic and was surrounded by hundreds of people. What a site.

I wish this race and Lemans were NOT being held on the same weekend. But beggars can't be choosy.

Vettel does it again in Q3 with Alonso and Massa nipping on his heals. Plus what happened to McLaren in qualifying? It's not like they are slow, but the two Red Bulls and two Ferraris are just faster. Of course the race is a different beast. Alonso has had some good race starts lately, how many stops will the teams make? and will it rain?

Finally the Ferrari's are within striking distance!!!! and only 2/10 off

If it's dry, look for Alonso's and Ferrari's first win of the year as the Ferrari is strong in race conditions

Yeah, that was a great day today! LOVED the Historic F1 race. The sound of the GV Ferrari was unreal. The new 458's dont sound too shabby either! loved the downshifting sounds. I was green with envy Looks like we are going to get really wet tomorrow
