I thought that the maximum race time is 2hours.
If the race is red-flagged the countdown stops counting. But the maximum race time with red flags is 4h.
That is what i understood
Yeah, this is the rule since 2012.McMrocks wrote:I thought that the maximum race time is 2hours.

Silverstone went for 2h 26m due to red flag for Raikkonen's crash.Phil wrote:I thought so, but I am fairly certain we had a race this year that extended beyond the 2 hour threshold and it wasn't due to a red flag, but due to safety cars? Or am I getting mixed up? Just trying to think back which race that was...
Hungary had 2 safety cars but Singapore has 61 laps @ racing avg of 1m 58s and fastest of 1m 55s they are not going to finish within 2 hours if there is a safety carWaywardism wrote:Silverstone went for 2h 26m due to red flag for Raikkonen's crash.Phil wrote:I thought so, but I am fairly certain we had a race this year that extended beyond the 2 hour threshold and it wasn't due to a red flag, but due to safety cars?

Next longest race was Hungary: 1h 53m.

You never know what can happen with SC situations. The Red Bull suits Singapore and when he is in front (a bit of luck), other cars can't overtake him in the narrow streets.Kingshark wrote:Ricciardo won't win.
1. The WO5 has consistently been the car to beat on every circuit, from Monaco to Monza. I see no reason to believe why Singapore will be any different.
2. Both Mercedes drivers are mighty around the Marina Bay and have been very impressive in past events, especially Rosberg.
He will need some serious luck to win this one. Then again, all 3 of his wins so far this season have came through luck (but also a great deal of his own making).
I'd pretty much forgotten about that seeing as most of the teams have either figured out a way to get similar results, or because they were all running it, it didn't shake things up as much as we thought it would.NTS wrote:Also the impact of loosing FRIC is higher on this circuit so we might see Force India or Williams surprise us a little?
