IndyCar GP from dry to wet

The system for qualifying in ELMS is a totally classic version, with one driver per car, and ten minutes for the various categories to set the times. First it was the eight GTE cars’ turn. Proton Competition Porsche #88 unfortunately won’t compete this time, but it hasn’t been possible to get a comment from the team about the reason why they only run with #77 this weekend. Team…
