Hmm, nobody's driving the Lambo, didn't see it for ages. Might be I'll take it for a stroll. :)

Guy's, we still have a £40 deficit on our quarterly cost and if we don't clear it this month we will find it added to our next quarters cost's and then it will be a harder to clear.

So, to those who have already contributed, Thank you  :thumbup1: and if you could manage a further £2.00 it would be much appreciated.

To those who don't/haven't contributed please consider doing so. We really need your help to continue running.

Thanks

WT

Sorry chaps I just followed the race announcement at set the race for 40 mins. I guess last time we ran here H@L actually set the race for 20 laps. As a result we finished very early and SRW hadn't pitted. Personally I think we should therefore null and void this race and either run the event again, delaying the season a fortnight, or bin the results.

What does everyone else think?

One day we'll set ALL these races to 'Lap Count' rather than allow GTR2 to continue to rob us of good races! :(

This race should have been 20 laps (just like last time), but with 8 minutes still on the clock, as SRW crossed the line (in 1st place & the only one yet to pit) just in front of Apex then me.... Chequered Flag! :taz: :wetfish:

That means the race finished 20% early :o which was a real shame because I'm certain Apex & me would have fought to the finish (assuming you didn't pick up a stop/go for your regular 'wide lines'  :whistling: :laugh:) & TT no doubt would have been reeling us both in. Would have enjoyed finding out how that would have worked out 8)

With SRW having not pitted, it seems harsh to award him the win, but it seems harsh to disqualify or force into last place ??? So with that in mind, & the fact it was most enjoyable:

I vote for a rerun at the end of season maybe? (if only so we get to have another go at Pete's lap record :-*)

I am easy either way, except for the option of disqualifying me from the results as I did nothing wrong and was planning on making a stop before the end of the race

We should at least give H@l a missed chance to join the championship. ;)

This event has been rescheduled for 21st September.

Sorry for the mistake.

I think it would be best to reschedule. It is the fairest way to solve the issue I reckon.

I could not attend the race as I was at a metal Festival. I saw Gojira, Mastodon, Alice in Chains and Metallica to name but a few. It was worth missing the race. Just about. :)

I'm glad i chose the Corvette as the Aston was horrible and i wouldnt have such a fun race! LEgzy's comment that nsfast was going to be threat i wasnt expecting him to go backwards. I thought i'd built up a decent gap before the stop and as i came out it said 2secs but it certainly wasnt to Apex. Had a fun race and was it was geting really close on the last and chased him to the line meters behind. So i slow down and quit out. Hang on! why are the rest still racing? damn, i was a lap too soon :'(

TT and Apex 1st and 2nd in both championships. Well done guys.

SRW 3rd in GT2 and Legzy 3rd in GT1. Well done to you guys too.

Sorry I did not attend all of the races.

It has been a good season and it has been good to see a few people back after time away.

Thanks for racing.

I will try to get season 21 sorted as soon as is possible.

Thanks Hal for your continued efforts running these races, didn't make as many races as I had hoped but great racing when I did. Thanks all who made this possible :)

Yeah cheers H@L.

Had some tough racing with TT & was getting impatient at being held up, car was damaged just before (1 corner) pitting & I opted to let my pits repair it. Came out & did a pretty good lap & TT exited the pits next to me. One corner later I had the same damage that I'd just repaired! :o ::) :laugh: That if I hadn't repaired, I'd have been 6 seconds further up the road! :wetfish:
Anyway, was past TT & just stretched out my lead more each lap.

I don't know why it took me till the final race to pull my finger out this season ??? Anyway, congrats again TT 8)
