Time zone info corrected. 1st post updated.

Lap count calculated. 1st post updated.

That was shaping up to be quite an interesting race.  But coming ont o ffront straight the car froze for a a few secs then the display went black and then came back. Legzy told me Apex hit my frozen car so sorry. Happend a few laps later as well while chasing H@L so decided it was safer to quit. damn.

Bad luck spanner and Apex tonight. Sometimes I wish we could restart these events for unforced errors on the first lap. Last week with Apex going to soon was another example.

Anyway, congrats on the championship Legzy and thanks to all who have raced with us this season.

Thanks H@l for organising - good track choices.

Hope to race again soon.

Thanks to everyone who has donated towards our quarterly cost's  :thumbup1:

But we still have a deficit of over £40  :(

If you haven't contributed please think about doing so. You know you want to  :angel:

It's been a thoroughly enjoyable double season (Super GT's & GT3's), I've really enjoyed the way the two have been complete opposites in terms of 'sprint' format vs 'endurance' (having to worry about tyre maintenance, fuel usage & pit stops), underpowered cars on twisty tracks that nobody has heard of vs fast high downforce cars on GP tracks, it really has left no comfort zone from start to finish & I think that's been great!

Congrats to Apex & myself on collecting the two titles this season, but a big spray of campaign at NSFast too, as he's kept us both very much on our toes from the start!

So cheers again H@L for the splendid organising role you carry out :euro:, can't wait to see what you've got lined up for the next season, no doubt taking place through the spring/summer? ;)

Thanks for racing all. It has been fun once again. :)

Some of the twisty tracks were a bit crazy but, lots of fun.
