Brilliant, sounds good Legz.

Sorry about last night, meant to make it but didn't get in until late - should spice up this evening's proceedings anyway muhahahaaaa.

Only found out your decision a couple of minutes ago - not certain I'll get sorted in time.

Come on Bill, you've only got to jump in the 1310 mini & do a handful of laps as you already know half the track!

Raleigh park needs no practice

See you there buddy

[BillThomas]

Sorry Legzy just come from there - not my idea of fun nor is a figure 8.

See y'all at Spa on Tues 1 Dec.

LOL - If it's any consolation Bill, I voted for the Top Gear option  
But over the week, nearly everyone else voted for one of these two. I'll console myself by subtly taking out Green cars at Raleigh Park

I thought I'd better start writing my report to the moderator for Raleigh Park. Nearly done, just a few names to fill in which I'll do after the race.

  you can pop mine in there now GT - I'll make sure it's accurate don't worry

Good thinking. Lets give moderators lots of work..... a race incident each second of the race....
Btw, I will start in reverse at Raleigh, so don't qual right behind me......

Great fun tonight chaps. Rannoch produced some excellent racing, which I managed to watch most of after crashing out at my favourite spot

As for Raleigh, bring on our first figure 8 season

[mr_oily]

Well I'd been practising all week and struggling to find that perfect balance, particularly in the high speed corners - managed to get a good start....oh yes, that's a load of carp isn't it.  

Cracking night guys, really was entertaining....shame we were missing a few but couldn't be helped.

For those sceptics who doubt GTL is serious business, a typical example of our racecraft and prowess...

Thanks for the racing! Great fun 

In the first race I took the Gentlemen Drivers Club's lovely yellow Fezza 275. Had great fun drifting round the offroad bends, racing with teamie Alex's Aston, Plymouths, Alpines and Minis and a few others. Had to do a SnG after hitting the inside barrier of the last turn, but I wasn't the only one.... 

In the next race, I took the Abarf, playing the softly softly approach, a love tap here and there 

Somehow I lasted to the end, got a cut track penalty, headed to the pits but my crew having too much fun watching the carnage to bother. Should have stayed out!

And in the last race decided to take a Mustang, but naughty Mr Oily driving the wrong way hit me head on, and wiped us both out
