RACE REPORT #222 - November 3rd 2016 (RGT, MGT)

We had a lot of action for the six drivers competing in our Restricted GT class and especially our Mixed GT class last night. In the latter, through a penalising oversight, Alex drove a third Lambo instead of a second Ferrari in the fifth race, demoting him from 3rd to last place and pushing up 4th, 5th and 6th one spot each. Although present, Peter did not race but helped out as the steward and with some marshalling duties.

Great night of racing as usual at FRC. Was nice to see Peter and Keith show up but would have been even better if they raced !
Was a pleasure seeing O'Brie's tuning efforts really paying dividends now as his Porsche 911 in Restricted GT was a revelation. Luke's Corvette also performed very well although it seemed to have a problem which sidelined it for the last race. Ramesh's and Gordon's cars were fast as was to be expected.
Mixed GT racing was as exciting as ever. I had some particularly tight encounters with Ramesh which were very much enjoyed.
Congrats to Ramesh to winning both classes raced as well as taking the Index Of Performance award and , of course, the night's overall win.
Looking forward to the next event.

Gripping RGT races and remembering if Gordon had stay committed to his Drive Through call in the second race ... Three drivers wouldn't have been on the same amount of points :-/
