WAR-EC Watkins Glen

Race #6 is over, and was one of the...will it rain or will it dry...races. During the race some decisions had to be made, should we change to dry tires or keep wets on and vice versa. With few laps to go Novikov seemed to have chosen best by staying with wets despite very slight drizzle, but with a couple of laps left to go his 12 second lead to C. de Saint-Germain evaporated when it started to rain a bit more and the French driver who was on wets (remember Novikov stayed with dry tires) pulled back his 12 secs gap to finish just 1 second behind him and with that maintain a solid 16 second lead overall.

Red color = DNF before miway point of the race 8% penalty
Orange color = DNF after midway point of the race 7% penalty
Blue color = U23 drivers
*** = Driver who had his final time corrected to the 7% penalty because despite finishing his final time was worst than the time with penalty.
