Hi Malcolm,
It was a tough 3 race challenge this year and Dean proved to be the most consistent driver and he deserved the win, finally wrestling the Trophy away from Mr Fleurke!!! Andreas also showed that keeping all the whizzy bits inside the box, and a wheel on each corner gains lots of points and was a worthy 2nd place, but Robert still showed his class by getting a foot on the podium and a taste of the champagne in 3rd.
The Mosport mention was a little tongue in cheek
, but who knows??
We have another regular racer from the Toronto area ( Doni) to join Dean, so there could be a crowd of 2 locals, plus any stalwarts from the UK and Europe who might be able to make the trip. ( I have to confess here that my sister lives just North of Toronto ).
I have not been able to spend much time either practising/racing or promoting our annual get together for the JSMT weekend this year. We are having major building works done on our house and are virtually living out of, and walking between, cardboard boxes which are storing our belongings. I have managed to preserve the functioning of my racing PC, but finding spare time is difficult and I have to squeeze between stored goods to get into the seat
Many thanks for your intention to offer us virtual geeks a chance to "do it for real" that might have been a very entertaining weekend if GPL members drove like they sometimes do online!! I can quite imagine that Goodwood would require some serious financial commitment and besides, at least when we ding/bend or total our GPL cars the repairs are free!!
I am open to almost any venue for meeting up within the UK. Brands is good value and a great venue with camping etc, but we have done that for a few years, Silverstone is reasonably central .....so maybe a change is on the cards?
ANYONE WITH A SUGGESTION FOR A MEET UP PLEASE POST ON THIS THREAD.Andy and myself are continuing our "Grand Tour" of UK race venues this year with weekend taking in Snetterton and Mallory ( 9th-10th June), which leaves us with the more remote circuits like Knockhill and Anglesy to consider at some time.
P.S. I noticed the Classic Car Rally at the Fleur....28th Aug.....................hmmmmmm might twist my friend's arm for weekend accomodation and make an appearance in my classic Mondeo Estate??
