By popular demand Santa v the Elves is back. Santa has challenged the Chief Elf to a team event – the nearest they can get to the North Pole is Keimola in Finland. Santa & the Elves have been extra busy this year & haven’t had time to tune up their racing cars for the usual pre-season race but they will be ready for action by early January.
The supporting cast (drivers) are asked to assemble in the UKGPL chat Room in IGOR. Chief Elf (Billy Nobrakes) & Santa (whose identity will be revealed on the night) will take turns to pick teams from those present. Everyone gets to race – if there are more than 20 drivers then we will open a 2nd grid. If that is the case listen carefully for instructions. The password will be announced in chat.
Elves get to race the green machines – Lotus 33 or Brabham BT11, Santa’s get a choice of the red sleigh (Ferrari) or the rednose reindeer = BRM.
Points will be scored in accordance with usual GPL scoring. At the end of the race / races all points will be added & victory goes to the highest scoring team. There are unlimited Resets available. Each reset must be followed by a Stop & Go within two laps & it will cost the team 3 points. Failure to SnG will result in a Disqualification.
