The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam will be broadcasting live video and commentary / Nitro FM audio when racing commences. You can check back with this page for an update of when this is likely to happen. Thanks to Doyousee.me for the provision of streaming services. It rained over night and the track crew are at work sweeping away standing water. It has now stopped raining and so the main challenge is drying the racing surface and shutdown area. Following completion of two cycles yesterday there are three qualifying sessions planned today and the running order is here. However depending on weather conditions these may be truncated. There won't be pit notes this weekend as your pit reporter is acting as race reporter and News Editor Tog will be taking pictures of the on-track action . Jack Brewster has withdrawn with a broken valve spring which he will be repairing during the run-up to the next race. If there are any further snippets we will report them as soon as we hear them.
