Posting here as it covers both grids - for individual results see the separate race threads.
Firstly, my race report. Great race, really enjoyed it. I don't know why but, before the race, I kept thinking wouldn't it be gutting to put in the time organising it to go out on the first lap
Qually was fine, 11th I think, wasn't expecting to be a front-runner.
Got away fine so my fears were groundless. One silly solo spin early on which put me down a bit but the rest was clean. Once things had spread out I was running 12th with team-mate Geoff behind (another traitor
) then a gaggle of UKGPL'ers beyond that.
When Geoff eventually caught me I didn't put up a struggle - figured he had more chance of moving up the grid. After that I concentrated on keeping those UKGPL guys behind me and getting those bonus points for a finish. Towards the end Phil started to make strides but it wasn't enough and crossed the line in 11th. Should have been 12th but for Remy's off - not seen what happened there.
Right, onto the general stuff;
Firstly a big thanks to the guys at GPL Racer for helping to make this such a great event. From the posts and chat, in general, I think most agree it went well. I am hopeful we will have a re-run at some future point.
Right, the moment you have all been waiting for, the result. GPL Racer - 276 points / UKGPL - 215 points (full breakdown below) so congratulations to GPL Racer.
Anyway thanks again to all who took part.
