Even if you won the race, THE deciding factor in the Interleague set-up is the number of finishers each side has. Usually the team with the most runners to the 90% mark is going to take it unless they didn't fill any of the top positions.

Thanks UKGPL for what seemed to be a fun event. Half the team was American/Canadian and the other half were Euro/Brits, our octagenarian Aussie ex GP driver decided to stand aside, otherwise it might have been even more embarrassing

We look forward to Season 19 to see if you can even things up again and make it 2 All

On another note, my retirement last night was due to a game software prob. I've just done a complete reinstall, but interestingly I'm getting an error prob when I load the 66Mod Ver2 update ?? I wonder is that my prob to my several discos of late. Hmmm, I'll stick to the original 66 mod and see what happens

UKGPL Season 18 - Inter-League Race - Brands Hatch

Race length = 32 laps (complete 28 laps (90% race distance) to score points as a finisher)

No it wasn't.

Sorry about that Clive, I got it wrong in the announcement.  I noticed the race distance when I joined the server and made loads of announcements in chat to try to make sure everyone was aware.  I didn't want to spoil anyone's qually lap so I tried to make announcements when everyone on the track was on a straight bit, sorry you missed it. 

I'll make sure all the other race announcements are 50% GP unless we all agree otherwise.

Race results imported and the official result is a victory for ADC by 60 points to 56.  A very close finish. 

There was a fair spread of talent on display from both teams.  Close battles up front with the aliens and some fair but competitive racing further down the field.  Overall an enjoyable event for both teams and once again thank you to Mike for starting the server.

So congratulations ADC, next time we'll make sure we fill our tanks up!

Kai Aberg66 seems to have fallen off the points page, which I think makes it 71 to 55.....ish

Had I been fuelled to the finish then as, Mike has pointed out, it would still have been in ADC's favour but at 68 to 67.....I think.

Grats ADC

Yes, well spotted Clive, hopefully Phil will sort this for the sake of history and our grand children !!

[Phil Thornton]

Sorted now gents, the table now shows the correct result ADC = 71 and UKGPL = 55.

Thanks for spotting that Clive, I forgot to make the ADC drivers who have not raced in the inter leagues before "Historic UKGPL Drivers" - a trick to make their points count - same as happened to us when we all migrated from the Yahoo forums.  A side effect is that if any of the Inter League drivers ever join UKGPL they will be able to add these Inter League races to their race history.

As you can probably tell I've got a lot on my plate this season and so I'm prone to the odd mistake (not just GPL, I'm trying to finish off tiling and decorating our shower room and now the wife has ordered a new kitchen for me to fit - plus working full time of course.  Not complaining though so hopefully we'll get through the season without to many more cockups.  Keep watching for the next howler )
