Just over 77% so still Not as bad as Saturday's attempts at running race 1

Big difference is that when the 2nd red flag came out on Saturday, there had been 4 fallers and zero retirements, where as in race 3 on Sunday when the red flag came out there was 1 faller and several retirements.

When you are looking at the sky 10 minutes before your race starts deciding which tyres to go with your stress level goes throught the roof just thinking about changing the wheels.

Was bit wet though.

Get a Wet bike then all you need to decide is which one to put the transponder on, a lot quicker than changing wheels. It reduces the Stress Levels

At times you would think we had short sprint races of only 6 laps or so as with New Era, but we now have races of 10, 12 or 14 laps (which is what we're paying for), twice as many laps to try and get a result
at times you wouldn't think so and at times the actual races end up getting reduced to 6 laps or so after having to be stopped, quite often in dry conditions

Obviously the tyres arent up to the power and speed our bikes are putting out in the dry , we need slicks and tyre warmers

I'm happy as we are first two races were fine, last race very questionable.

One set missing there Paul, you will also need a set of wheels with Inters on.
