One man and his dog

Laboulle seeks the line as rain looms in Holland.

First man on the track this morning was French star Marc Laboulle who took the opportunity to walk the track and gain some inside advice from Alfonce. “He always finds the inside line!” said Laboulle in his first visit to the Eurocircuit as a driver, “It looks like a very technical track, there’s a lot to do here for the driver. I was happy with my speed and starts – except in the final – last week but we were prepared for rain because the forecast was for rain, but it never came and the difference in our setup between wet and dry is very big. Perhaps today…” said the Frenchman as he completed his walking lap amid gentle drizzle.

There was a little rain last week but the chance of a wet race appears higher here, the forecast giving 40-45% probability of rain over the next two days.
