Started 4th, when right back to 3rd, passed Baracus on the straight, when braking to the t1, i locked rear wheels and car ended in a bump not allowing me to leave, glad a farmer that was watching started diging and i managd to get car out, lost plenty of time there, then after being last i went right back to 10th place but got tired of racing in tracks that seem like village roads. Glad this is ending, i hate the british "classic tracks". Uncle jack with the machine that pulled my car, out of a ditch

Lol @ picture Assa . The track suited the cars perfectly, but I didn't like the (Dutch and not British:)) track. Very hard to overtake if not impossible because corners are so fast, no curbs and high sabdwalls right next to the track, which caused me to flip.

Eeeeeeshhhhhh....you can't put a wheel wrong at that place ...touch the grass, your facing backwards, touch a curb your facing backwards. Eventually after enough spins and rock climbing on those bankings I braked too late for turn 1 whilst busy lighting a ciggy and ended up the wrong side of the fence. Couldn't find a bump to try jumping back over so left Second lap, did you stop and wait for me Madd at turn 2?....cos you had no need to really, you didn't touch me or anything, I just outbraked myself and got into a spin by touching the grass... Grats to race winner and paodium...ant to the series winner and podium too. Enjoyed my first GTL season....hope there is another one as it is now so popular

I'm so sorry to Madd, there he is, going for championship positions and I tag him on turn 3. And from there it just got worse and worse as I kept driving like a ****. I let the whole field through for my transgression but I still think it was poetic justice that I hit Bara's stationary car at the end which killed my car 100 yds from the finish. I deserved that. Hard to overtake, yes, but still a pleasurable track to drive if you can stay on it....

Great track, that was good fun in the Pantera despite being 7 laps down and no chance of any racing. The track has a real flow to it that if you get every lap then it works and if you don't then it's bye bye into the sky. Managed to get 3rd fastest race lap for my troubles which is not bad.
Congratulations to Baracus on the win and championship win very well deserved.
Sorry about causing a yellow flag for so long on the S/F straight. I was receiving bad news on the phone just as the lights were turning green (Gran passed away today). Was all I could do to just pull over into the pits and sit there for quite a while. Afterwards I decided that I would have a race around anyway even though so many laps down, you know forget about stuff etc.

i thought that was a cracking finale race to end the season on. The track is even more fun with the GT65 cars but the 76 cars looked superb snaking through the sand dunes Knew i was at a disadvantage compared to the capris here but the 911 was still fantastic to race here. i was thoroughly enjoying myself and didnt put a foot wrong until towards the end of the race when i annoyingly ran wide at T1 twice to allow Madd to gain and pass nicely up the inside. I chased the gaggle of capris up front for the entire race but everytime we got to the back straights they stretched away from me But was very pleased to bring the 911 home in 6th with team mate Bernie in a fine 2nd place Its a real shame us Legends drivers missed a few rounds each or we might have taken the fight with team RV right to the wire...maybe next season Really enjoyed all these races on the addon tracks and very glad to see full grids again, great stuff! Congrats to Baracus on another fine drive to the win

The BMW was too slow in the corners here - no real grip, had to keep lifting of on the fast corners to avoid drifting wide. I was losing too much time in the slow corners on and after turn 1. Had an ok race, a few good battles with Ossie and tom cooper - lost it on the last lap after spending the whole race on the track, letting Tom by... Please can someone confirm if there will be another season, because i really enjoy Thursday nights here racing GTL...a break from the norm. good attendances this season and some new players Anyway, congrats to all who raced

Unfortunatly its over Congratulations Simon, great track/cars combo all events Big applause to Baracus, astonishing driving and win. Great consistent driving Bernie, well done for your 2nd place. The race was fun, but very hard, nice cool fights with Backo and Dan. I have to thank you for the fair and clean driving, cheers guys. Unlucky Madd, i really prefered we could fight during race mate, i must say you deserved to finish race in front of me Thanks all, see you on track soon Cheers

Great race on a great track to round off an excellent GTL season. Some excellent track/car combo choices Simon , thanks. I'm sure a lot of us have enjoyed the racing as a result of your time spent organising etc Drove a consistent race and picked up places as the leaders fell off in front of me. PRibeiro had me under pressue for the entire race, looming large in my mirror every single lap. Congrats on the win Baracus and season title

There are no plans not to do UKGTL Season 4. Hope you can work out the double negative. In fact... https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3591.msg59165#msg59165
