And here we go again... Some minutes ago the third qualification round of Group B has been finished at the beautiful race track here in Brisbane. Today the weather is fine.

For sure, this will change until the afternoon as racing will continue...
To keep you informed, here are first three top qualifiers after round 3:
1. Chris Tosolini 34 laps, 10:08.00 min
2. Takaaki Shimo 34 laps, 10:09.26...

This morning we woke up from the rain rattling on the windows so we decided to stay two more minutes in bed (probably sounds familiar to you..) and head off to the track a little bit later. After arriving at the track it stopped raining so the race organisation started drying the track with leaf blowers. We hope this helps and there will be some racing today.
In the meantime...again some other interesting stuff from the 'Snake Pit' here in Brisbane.
