Our race control team have been studying the weather for the weekend and at the moment it is not looking promising for Saturday or Sunday.
Friday is looking good, so there is the POSSIBILITY that a liberation may take place around lunchtime on FRIDAY.
We will still continue to monitor the weather for the Saturday and if it improves then we will be liberating on the Saturday.
