UKGTL Season 8 Fun Night - Loch Rannoch (Medium Reversed) - Nov 26

[Phil Gilliland]

Nearly didn't make the fun because of a visitor. Filled him full of wine until he passed out then leaped on here just in time for Raleigh. 1st race was battling Simon in my mini for 1st place until something wiped me out. 2nd race took the Falcon and lolloped my way round,  thumping all and sundry until suddenly it said "race over". Thought that was it until Legzy advised on here that the fun was continuing back in Scotland. Never raced in the wrong direction there before but thanks to a couple of setup tips from Legzy while the grid was forming up (cheers mate) managed to just about keep up and finished....last, by miles, but the fun on the way left me grinning all night. I was still chuckling as I shovelled the vistor into the broom cupboard.

Roll on next season.

Fun as usual.
Loch Ness Rannoch with a gravel section was quite fun.
Never used the 275 before because of its kart alike brakes   that is why I took it, for testing.
Now I believe I like it a lot. Same story as I had with CSL. Try it once, didn't like it and one day
tested it for more laps and fall in love.  
Deeply exciting and fun race with Matt, Ade, Goldtop and Lazlow (am I forgeting anyone?)

Raleigh was extremely insane and fun again. I spent all race smiling and laughing.
I cracked myself when at first race, I beg for help to Mr_oily's  . When I was under attack from more than 40 drivers around
We need a Raleigh figure 9 race in the next season, but with gentleman driving spirit...

Fantastic fun, you guys should have stuck with us for longer the last few Corolla only races at Loch Rannoch were soooooo
much fun! Driving standards took a dip! lol !
How I managed to get that Plymouth round there in the first race ....opposite lock everywhere, was more like Colin McRae Rally!!

Thanks all

Results & Replays in normal slots.... (finally )
The zip contains the replay of both the main races plus their txt files.

Chris

p.s. I have also done a 2nd zip file containing the replay files from the 'extra' races that happened later. I'll leave these available to download for a couple of days & then remove them as they're not for the feint hearted or up to our usual clean driving standards

[mr_oily]

Nice one Chris - as I suspected my local replay file was overwriting each time so much appreciated. Will grab them now...

You know that track's available for GTR2

[Legzy]

Had great fun in all races.
Started the 1st on poll, but was in last place by turn 3 & then had all kinds of silly moments as I pushed to hard to catch up... had some great racing along the way with everyone at the back half of the finishing order (till I planted myself head 1st into the Castle). Think PR got that one in the end.

Raleigh Park was great fun as always, added dimension being on team speak... any suggestions that we were playing 'take out the leader', are totally unfounded & we deny everything. But well done to Simon for evading many many close moments to take the flag.

We then ended up doing Raleigh Park again & then Loch Rannoch a few times more... still had about 7 of us for our 3rd extra race in the Corolla's. Obviously (apart from Oily) we'll be back to clean racing next week


p.s. that pic from Oily doesn't do it justice... we were both a couple of foot in the air after the jump (check the car shadows ) at full tilt & both landed them to continue battling down the hill I hope you manage a little vid mate.

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.... 

Yeah, that was great fun taking these classics out for a ride in the mud. We had a lovely classic Aston/Ferrari battle in which we both had our hands full of keeping the cars on the road.
Had the S/G on exactly the same moment and we decided to head for the pits at the same time.. an came out of the pits with exactly the same gap, F1 style!
Had a little chuckle when the three cars in front of us made way until the Alpine realised we raced for positions 
Then the game decided to dq me because I didn't do the s/g  which was an annoyance because of the splendid battle.
Raleigh was fun again with mass mayhem especially by one-who-I-not-shall-mention-but-he-is-the-reigning-champ 

Thanks again to the admins for organising all these fun events.

You're getting better at these Oily, quality of that one is a huge improvement over the previous one.

very, very good vid 

Like the soundtrack and very good timing in the end (with Legzy trying to move a tower with his Mini )

[Legzy]

LOL... that really was good mate.
Much better music choice too
