The rain makes bad visibility inside the cockpit of the Porsche GT3, excess moisture condenses as fog everywhere. From the early laps, the mist becomes a real security problem and a clever solution will be implemented by the team at the first return to the pits. At this point in the race, exit routes are many and as varied as any crew could bet on the outcome of this last round. Some paths are on the verge of leaving the road and stalls sudden no longer count. Many competitors visit the edges of the runway, sometimes requiring the commissioners to repeated. The end of the pit straight sometimes becomes the scene of random stops with inscriptions relating to curves of originality and a level of improvisation worthy of days of storms. Because that is what it is, a deluge fell upon Zolder. Despite this, the Porsche is running well and the dark holds no surprises for Team. Under the watchful eye of Guy Tenhaff, Team Manager of Team Freman T. Porter, the GT3 starts his first laps in the stunning atmosphere as darkness and rain did to the pilots. At this point, we see past our stand before many cars bearing the scars of contacts, sometimes violent, have been avoided. For some teams, it's already the end of the race and the championship. For Team T. Freeman Porter, although exercise is sometimes perilous, we can only emphasize its excellent reliability and proven ability to adapt to new situations extraordinary.

From the warm-up, observers may detect areas of the track completely flooded by huge puddles, making some parts of the floor to the limit. Nevertheless, the team managed to place on the grid with minimal hassle. This session will be allowed to take the temperature (cold, should I say) of the track and the handling of the car. The start of the race will be in the pace car in a particularly fantastic atmosphere.
