The DeltaWing !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! today on a rainy Circuit of the Americas. Forecast calls for rain throughout today and tomorrow. Might they pull off an upset in the new car? The DeltaWing set a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ahead of the 02 ESM HPD with a 2:16.573 while many other cars spent much or all of the session in the pits.

Every driver who has driven the car in the rain has said it is one of the best handling cars on a wet track, thanks to the open differential, narrow fronts that don't aquaplane, and rearward bias that keeps the front stable. Depending how the weekend goes, we might see the DeltaWing becoming the car to beat on rainy tracks this year and next, especially if the car's upgraded cooling can handle the temperatures more effectively.

Stay tuned for Practice 2 at 12:40 and qualifying at 1:50 today.

No televised coverage. I'm not aware of any team on-board camera streams, but you can follow the events live via timing and scoring and Twitter.
