Because rain was forecast all day today 🌧️☔, I enthusiastically consulted the rain and cloud radar this morning to find that one dry spot in Limburg... and lo and behold - indeed - in the northernmost tip of Limburg, it turned out to be dry around noon, and even a hint of blue sky appeared occasionally

Viversel will be familiar to most of you because of the Terlaemen Circuit, which opened in the early 1960s. Initially small-scale, it later hosted Formula 1 races (1973-1984). It gained international fame partly because of Gilles Villeneuve's fatal accident in 1982.
