Best of the UK Aftermath

[mclarenLB]

So last night my plan of "throw as many of the UKs best into a single session and see what happens"... happened.

It was magic.

I'm making this a thread because some of the racing that went on is really worth a watch and I'm sure some of the other guys who were in this will have their own stories to tell too

We did 4 races, each basically completely different in every single way, we had a Toyota SFR race at Maggiore Centre... Which was a complete meme, a McLaren 650s Group 4 race at Interlagos, which was amazing, a Jaguar F-Type Group 3 race at Kyoto Y+M, which was even more amazing, and finally a Toyota TS050 Group 1 race at Dragon Trail which resulted in my death.

I have edited together the highlights of my point of view of Race 1 and 2 below, and will do an edit of Race 3 and 4 as soon as someone shares me the Race 3 replay that I forgot to save...

Notice how close the racing is, Lap 1 at Interlagos especially, I believe this sums up the term 'bumper to bumper'



@F4H Rosso streamed the entire event here:



These were the final event standings, which were stupidly close other than the fact @mthomas_95 needs a nerf:

Note the 3 way tie between @Tidgney @Matty28 and @Spurgy 777 had to be broken by their highest finishing position in a race across the series

I've not seen any of the battles further back in the field but I'm told they were just as good as the ones at the front, so hopefully some other guys have recorded their point of view

Thanks to everyone that was a part of this, it was an absolute blast, probably the most fun I've had in this game. I'm already looking at organising more

Or the rest of you guys need to be more consistent, you'd have been only 6 points behind me had you not speared right at Dragon Trail and almost killed me as well

Ridiculously close racing throughout and a nice change from the fuel economy tests the superstars races have now become. Would love to do it again even if it probably results in losing my title

I'd argue my biggest issue is doing dreadful qually's and having to climb during the race, not so much consistency

You don't know how painful it is hitting the start race button during your own ultimate lap lol, but hey, integrity!

Thanks for the invite to the event . Congratulations to @mthomas_95 for the victory .

I got better as I learnt the g29 haha, although I watched my potential pole lap in race 3 again, it was mega until you hit start damn it ! Hopefully next time I can practice a little bit more ! I think it might be worth trying to grab a commentator for any others as there was some close racing! I'm probably just going to whack the my PoV highlights into 1 video at some point (Will be next week).

I caught the last race on Rosso's stream last night it looked like a good event.
He did get punted out of the lead in the early laps which was a bit of a shame as it looked like he was on for a good result.
