Title: UKGPL Season 25 (2013) Friday Trophy - Moon - Dec 13
Post by: EvilClive on December 10, 2013, 01:26:23 PM +0000
Season 25 Friday Trophy - Rounds 37 & 38 - The end of season finale is Out of This World

The Friday series has arrived at its final venue...the team transporters had a little trouble getting here and now the drivers are complaining that they are short of breath!!  A big question mark over the aerodynamics and downforce but apparently there is very little drag  ;)
The Moon welcomes careful drivers, although the Apollo astronauts are the only official drivers that have navigated around these parts and from what I recall they were more "off road". So to finish a FUN series we come to what must be the ultimate FUN circuit. 4 races left to decide the championship placings....drivers start your engines!!!

This round is for the F2's and the 69x's

I took a quick 10 minute spin around the moon last night and it was A SPIN.  I had forgotten the way around this desolate place and just could not hook up a clean lap!!  Tonight is not looking good. :-\

No worries Paul! I always look forward to racing against you, and that stuff happens sometimes. I enjoyed the race. I could have been more prepared, but I just treated it as a fun race. I may miss the next the race. I'm going out for a night on the town next Friday. Good luck to everyone partaking in the GT and Can Am space cars. - Walt

EDIT: sorry for posting at a late hour. Oops  :-[

I know the Moon is the furthest we have had to travel this season but hey where was everyone? Great track, short and sweet but difficult to pass on and very dusty if you go off. In both races I just tried to keep it on track as much as possible and it worked out for me. The odd scary moment in both races but I survived. Grats to both podiums and everyone who raced. What the GT and CanAm cars are gonna make of this track I don't know but it should be good providing the Chinese have not dug it up before we get there next week!

I did hear that the line at the customs desk is a killer.  Great track, though it could do with a longer straight.  I think the heavier cars are gonna be a gas.
