Funny we're talking about this George. This is an interesting report that shows that the sand and water mix at Losail is a deadly mix.
2009 Qatar Night Test - Rain In The Desert
Submitted by Kropotkin on Sun, 2009-03-01 23:27.
The night test at Qatar got off to a frankly bizarre start on Sunday night. The test, which was due to run from 6pm to midnight local time, got off to a difficult start, after rain in the morning left the track greasy, and then rain at around 7pm called proceedings to a halt for a while, with riders sitting in the pits for an hour or so, before going out again. But it wasn't just rain that was causing the problems: Sand had been blowing onto the track and both reducing grip while paradoxically increasing tire wear, making the whole exercise of rather dubious value.
