Thanks to all drivers for making this a full grid event.
Grats to Sven for your stunning UKGLP debut.
Grats to Al for your stunning come back to UKGPL.
Grats to all 12 of you that got points.
And a very big sorry to KH for putting you out of the race.
Now I have a request to all of you. Last season Paul "BadBlood" Whitfield wrote race reports for the Historic trophy, you can read them in the mod reports form the races like here:
https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=9253#event2625But he is a busy guy so for this season I wonder if anybody else also would like to write race reports. Maybe if you could write just a few each we could cover all season and frankly you do not even have to be a driver in the Historic trophy to do it. You just review the replay and write about what happend.
Let me dream a little. We have here a retired driver that do not have much to do nowdays
and we have seen it before like Jackie Stewart and others that begun as a reporter after their carrier ended. So, Hristo what do you think could I interest you for the job?
My race was good for most of it until the incident with KH took place. After that I lost all interest in trying to catch Al.
At the start of the race I was in 4TH trying to keep up. It did not take long for Sven to brake free at the lead but I was holding on to Al and KH until I made a little mistake, but with a little help from a backmarker who distracted Al and KH I found myself back right behind Al and KH. I followed KH for a couple of laps and found out that I was quicker then him right at the start of the lap, so to get past that should be a good place to do it.
Well, it was not, or should I say, my plan did not succeed as I touched KH`s back wheel in the process and he was out of the race, or you could simply say that I rearended him. Anyway after that I just cruised the remaining laps to the finish seeing Al go in the distance. But frankly, I do not think I would have had a chance to catch Al even if things had gone my way.
The result led to two good things at least, from my view point, that for the next race Sven will be in a group 1 car, a Maclaren or Eagle, and Al in a group 2 car, but still of cause we will have KH and Evil and ................... in well I guess I just need to prepare some for Monsanto.
