    Rain would disturb the race.   [Hajime]

  • 45

    Still 6 hours left. It must be raining. It would be tough job in the pit.   [Tekeo]

  • 44

    Choice of tyres must be difficult when the course is this long.   [Tanachu]

  • 43

    Weather is getting changed.   [shio]

  • 42

    Circuit with high vertical interval could get wet only half of the course..   [Midori]

  • 31

    Wet road surface in Nurburgring. Too scary.   [Tanachu]

  • 30

    CT200h, this angle is not so bad, but it is just a hatchback.   [Futago]

  • 29

    Dark clouds are coming out. I wonder if it will rain later. I hope that the race go smooth unlike GT   [Yapon]

  • 28

    Good that CT runs well.   [Hananoko]

  • 27

    Is it cloudy there?   [Beer]

  • 26

    They would be very busy in the pit preparing for tires for wet condition.   [Midori]

  • 25

    I'm concerned about the weather.   [Peke]

  • 24

    What are the current rankings?   [Maru]

  • 23

    Sato is very cool.   [nao]

    It looks like there is no trouble, so are they doing fine?   [Ganpee]

  • 20

    Catching up Ferrari from outside of the corner.   [tanachu]

  • 17

    Beautiful but aged?   [Soya]

  • 16

    I feel that it would rain.   [Oolong-hi]

  • 15

    Good job, Sato.   [Tekeo]

  • 14

    It seems that Sato smells very good.   [Midori]

  • 13
