Benetton lay down a scary Gauntlet
Well, they were dubbed "Team Unbeatable", and after the first test, it was a scarily accurate. Tobi Kederer was fastest, with his teammate Lesley Buurlage in second place. Apex set some fast times, as did Online Martini Racing, with Daniel Harvey going 4th fastest on his first day in a Forum Racing car. Old Wolf had a good time in 5th, with his teammate setting the 10th fastest time in the new Toyota. The TOTAL Nissan's had a solid, if not fast, day, which was the same for Genii Mercedes. Minardi, McLaren and Ferrari need to pick up the pace though, as they finished with slow times.

Feature Race
The second and last test is upon us. We arrive at the famous Donington Park circuit, featuring the most obtuse hairpin in existence (Old Hairpin). An old school circuit with some proper elevation changes and gravel traps. Benetton ruled the first test, so can they rule another? The sky is looking quite grey, and rain is forecast for this test, so be prepared to change tyres. I won't tell you guys which actual race will be wet, but as we need to test it, this one is. In the spoiler is the wet race rules as well.
The Dunlop English Feature Test is GOGOGO!
What you need to Post: Start - Wait 1hr 1min - Pit - Wait 1hr 1min - Finish

Wet Race
This season sees the introduction of a wet race. This will take place in only one of the Feature Races this season. At some point within 2 hours of the race starting, I will make a post saying Rain is falling, Wet Race! And attach a file. At this point, everyone who has started before has to pit, whether they have or not. You pit as soon as possible, and then wait the normal hour and a minute before finishing. When the rain falls, it resets the time, so even if you started the race 5 minutes before, you can pit and finish straight away. This means that there is no penalty for double pitting or posting early.
So, theoretically, the winner of the Feature Race could win with a time of 1 hour 2 minutes. If you haven’t started the race before the rain stared falling, you must start, pit and finish as if it were a normal race. The Feature Test race will be declared wet to try and test this out.
