Alcoa Trophy 1973 - Thruxton [Dec 23rd]

Results and final points are up.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all of you!
See you in '19.

Incredible race guys!!

I knew would be very hard to keep up with the March's but Grant's issue with Gerard helped to give some emotion to the race.

My qualify lap was my fastest without toe, couldn't go any faster so I consider mission accomplished.

I had a good start, wanted to be close to Grant but he opened a gap very quickly and I couldn't get any draft help.
The second place was already great place and I just wanted to keep my pace until the end without mistakes so suddenly I saw myself in front!!

Grant would catch me at some point and he did. What a great fight!!!!! A lot of fun, side by side action, no defensive lines from any of the drivers, just clean racing and it was the best!

Congrats to Grand and Yves!!
Fantastic broadcast!
Thanks HSO

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Screenies up, also on the Fee Bee

Sorry Ray for a touch into your rear wheel. Obviously it was enough to your retirement.
Wish you all the best in 2019 and merry christmas.

It was a dramatic end for such a small impact, and according to the replay we didn't even touch, no problem Martin.

Well done to Grant and Thiago, great fight. Thanks for the broardcast. Merry Christmas.

When you don't have the speed, you have to be regular !
I took advantage of Martin's incident to take third place.
But Martin, after his release, goes up like a rocket !
One more lap, he was eating me alive !

Congratulations Grant and Thiago, impressive !

What a speed, Martin !   (would you be so kind as to send me your setup , just to confirm that you are very fast and I am too old !)

Joyeux Noël à tous !

Great broadcast.

Well done Grant. Also well done Thiago.

Great racing!

Had so much fun last night. Only the one incident with Gerard, I assumed (which you should never do in racing ) that I had cleared Gerard’s car before the turn and we both made contact. Used what was left of my tires to catch Thiago and only just managed to hold him off! Once them tires go they go!

The mod is impressive. Not sure what else hasn’t been said to Richard and David on the mod. It’s simply amazing. Especially the sounds.

Thank you once again Alberto Jonathon and Jason on another enjoyable broadcast.

See you all in 19

shame i couldn't race, but sometimes, real life takes priority. the good news is, mom was released from hospital and back home, things seem to be normal for now.

broadcast looked great as always, some interesting racing all through the field all through the race, very nice!

looking forward to 2019!

Great news

@David J: Good to hear David!

@David S: You didn't fully lock your brakes when you turned into a whirlwind/tornado, did you?

Couldn't avoid you when I tried going right, sorry.

Too bad that lead to finishing a lap down after starting from the pits, but seems like pace wasn't too shabby(although Grant and Thiago were ages ahead of the rest).
