Five minutes before the race there were still some raindrops, but during the race the track was dry and there was not too much wind - perfect conditions for PAC-Car II!
Even though it is raining in the morning the weatherforecast is good for today.
Due to the new time planing of the organizers a race with the standard tires is planned at 11 am and one with the radial tires at 4 pm.
Five minutes before the first qualification lap (PAC-Car II is allready on the starting line!) a horrible thunderstorm suprises the whole Shell Eco-Marathon.
