Yeah but we are too close to the day of the race now.

I think something to note on this too, this was around the time when motorsports as a whole was starting to realize what the limit was when racing in the rain. Like for NASCAR this was the race where they realized that there’s only so much standing water on the racing surface that’ll say when enough is enough. And even before with Xfinity Series there were even crazy rain races before even Cup’s first wet weather race at the Charlotte Roval in 2020. The absolute monsoon with the 2020 Xfinity race at Charlotte Roval, even watching the IMSA GT race that was rescheduled from I believe Lime Rock Park due to papa Rona was interesting to watch them race a flooded track. Or before with the 2016 Mid-Ohio Xfinity race where it was an absolute monsoon with rain, and before that with NASCAR first ever rain race at Montreal in 2008. The race ended early cause the conditions worsened and cars were spinning or wrecking everywhere. And again not to mention every other motorsport going through the same deal. 2021 Belgian GP couldn’t even get going cause of the blinding conditions where even under pace laps drivers from 2nd on back couldn’t see a thing. Which was more so to do with the fact that it was the start of the race where cars r bunched up, had it been under green it would’ve been fine. Same deal with 2022 Watkins Glen Cup, but the thing with F1, they also never want a repeat of the 2014 Japanese GP. IMSA kinda had the same deal in the 2021 race at Road America. The last like hour or so of the race, it started raining heavy, but only in certain sections of the track. Ya know that classic deal. And once most of the track was engulfed in heavy rain, there were still cars riding out on slicks trying to see how far they could go. And then one of the Porsche 911 GTEs lost in going into T1 and went hard into the tire barrier where IMSA threw the red flag. And with NASCAR now racing on short ovals in the wet, it’ll be interesting to see how for wet racing can go. Especially since NASCAR can definitely race on a little bit more wet track than they think. And while people wonder why motorsports can’t race in very wet, monsoon conditions, I think iRacing has given a more insight look as to why motorsports can’t race in massively raining conditions since they now have the best and accurate rain racing physics in any racing game/sim. It’s absolutely difficult, and ya can’t see anything which every irl driver on iRacing has said how accurate it is to real life. There’s conditions where it’s just not doable. This isn’t 1960s/70s where ya got Jackie Stewart racing around the Nordschliefe in blinding conditions and just playing the guessing game.

NASCAR doesn’t like to learn lessons from other racing series.
