The spectators, racing fans, arrived one after another. Even the stormy weather today did not dampen their enthusiasm. By ten in the morning, the stands were already one-third full.
The Thai Grand Prix always had rain, and some older fans were probably used to it.
"Young Master, this is what you asked us to investigate about Gena..."
Was the entire Blue Star's fan base supposed to wait for a day? Don't even think about it.
The rain intensified, and soon it was eleven-thirty in the morning. The stands were still full. The Thai grandstands had large metal canopies, completely shielding the spectators from the rain, so there was no immediate worry about the weather.
However, the weather was a bit cold, and the organizers distributed hot drinks to every spectator in the stands.
At the same time, the safety car drove out from the starting position. The race organizers had not yet officially announced any postponement of the race, but Lin Yan knew that the race would definitely be delayed. It was impossible to race in such weather. However, according to the rules, they had to wait for this safety car to conduct checks.
The BMW M4 slowly drove out from the starting position and gradually accelerated. In the car was the chief safety officer of MotoGP, along with various road-testing machines. He was always the one responsible for monitoring the track.
"Good heavens, with this mist, I think the race might be postponed."
"Is there even a need to say that? The rain is so heavy, and there's so much standing water on the road. I wouldn't dare to drive fast in this rain even if I were out driving. It would be strange if they could race."
"Alright, everyone, stop arguing. The official hot drinks have arrived. If you haven't received yours, raise your hands quickly."
In the stands, a group of fans craned their necks to look. Having come to Thailand, some older fans were well-prepared and dressed quite warmly.
At the same time, Hao Dong and Su Chen also arrived at the scene and had already started their live broadcast. However, like everyone else, they sat quietly, waiting for the race to begin, occasionally answering questions from the comments section when they had nothing else to do.
The safety car sped across the track, kicking up a vast amount of spray. The mist from the edges of the tires was as high as the entire car, leaping up along the sides like a waterfall.
Even the safety car dared not drive too fast in such weather.
It was important to remember that the safety car had four wheels and was much more stable than a two-wheeled vehicle. However, in terms of speed, this BMW M4 couldn't even catch up to the exhaust fumes of the factory cars.
After a few corners, the safety officer in the passenger seat opened the window and waved towards the building inside the racetrack. The meaning was clear: the current track conditions made it impossible to race.
As if to echo his gesture, as he waved, the safety car's tail swung out because it had run over the curb, with a considerable jolt.
"As expected, the race organizers have postponed the race. I just don't know until when."
"What's the rush? We came here for tourism anyway. One ticket to watch for so long is a great deal."
"The problem is, we won't even get to see Lin Shen. What's so great about it? We're just watching the rain."
"......"
There was a murmur of discussion in the stands. It seemed that the race organizers had noticed this and immediately sent photographers to brave the rain and enter the pit garages of each team.
"Look quickly, there's an image on the screen, it's Lin Shen!"
"It really is Lin Shen. Now we have something to watch even if the race doesn't start."
Seeing the photographer braving the rain to enter, Lin Yan asked two mechanics to help him out, and then he himself waved to the camera.
Each pit garage had a designated photographer, and this photographer was an old friend to them.
"The rain today is really heavy, I almost didn't get soaked."
Shaking the water off his body, the photographer immediately got into character.
The rain continued to pour down. In the LS27 pit garage, Reisner was practicing wet pit stops on the simulator, while Matt was discussing car tuning with Reisner's personal mechanic.
This was the first time the two were partnering, and they were still a bit unaccustomed to each other.
Just as Zhang Mingzhi had thought, arriving and immediately encountering a rainy race was not a good thing for Reisner.
