We’re in the shade but it’s hot in the direct sun. High was around 85F, it’s now dropping. Last year was much hotter…95 or so, I don’t think we left our seats the entire time.

Many cars were having a tough time last night in practice one; I think the repaved track was cooler than expected and there wasn’t enough grip yet. We saw several spin outs, both Mercs and Albon.
