That's an understatement ... 
Just got back at the hotel, soaking wet !  Cameragear even stopped working right before the ELMS race was flagged off, hope everything gets back in shape tomorrow.
One battery seems completely dead, won't be easy to get through the 6 hours tomorrow.

Kristof, What camera are you using?  Maybe someone can help you with batteries to cover you tomorrow? I have some canon SLR batteries

Wowsers, you drowned a 1d?? Given that those things are as weatherproof as Canon make, I'm slightly worried about bringing my less weather proofed camera now!

I can't help I'm afraid, my batteries are completely wrong.  I don't know what Camera rick Wilson uses - he might be worth a shout - I do know that the only other person who might have been worth a shout, is at Monza for Blancpain.

The only answer is raincoat for your camera and lens, but good made-to-measure protection is not cheap.
I hate shooting in the wet for that and many other reasons, but some of my most memorable images are in the rain, or better still just after the rain when the sun peeks between clouds. The Nikon D2 and D3 seem pretty good in the wet and I haven't managed to soak one into failure ... yet.

Great drought-breaker for McNish and TK who haven't won since Sebring 2012! Epic last 30 minutes with 30 second gap to close.

Ditto - was superb to watch and see the gap close lap by lap, until a couple of laps before the flag.

 managed to catch the last 3 hours of live feed. REadio Le Mans commentary. The last 20 minutes they had so much to talk about. Excellent video directing as they did not get stuck on just the overall leaders but switched between the classes all of which were having a good battle.
