I have just been handed some very disappointing news. The powers that rule within the family ( wife and daughters ) have arranged that we all meet up at my daughters house in Walthamstow on Dec28th, staying overnight and travelling back late afternoon on 29th!!.
. This involve a journey from NE London around the infamous North Circular until the M4 motorway opens up for a further 1.5hrs to Bristol and home. Usually a total journey time in excess of 3.5hrs......oh joy!!!
This makes things very uncertain about being home in time to get on the grid for the UKGTL Finale, which I really wanted to be involved in.
This is not a notice of official withdrawal, more a heads up that I might ( at best) be a late joiner, or (at worst ) a no show. It all depends on numerous factors, not the least of which is the stationary traffic blocking all exits from London, which is normally the case
In case I do not make it, I would like to give my grateful thanks to Tony for all of his hard work over the years and his patience in dealing with my myriad clusterf*cks in GTL. Also thanks to all of the UKGTL community for the enormous fun that I have enjoyed.
Many of us will move on to things outside of simracing and to those, I wish all the best. To those who intend to re-commence hostilities on other simracing platforms, I look forward to banging wheels with familiar faces in the future
In fact my "online career" ends with this race after about 12 years, I think.
Not primarily because there are no alternatives, but because my back problems only allow me to be active with varying degrees of pain.
Admittedly, I was still hoping for the BSCC 1967 .....
I will try to learn skinning and keep myself busy with offline activities (as it started way back in 2006) and especially my admin activities
at
www.evolution-modding.net - as long as this forum exists (it's one of the few froums still dealing with GTL & GTR2).
There is a lot of activity over there at the moment.
But you should never say never - a return is not ruled out if the right offers are made.
Also my heartfelt thanks to Tony and all involved for the outstanding work over the years.
I will miss this community here and fair racing throughout the years very much.
CU on track.
