Vote today on Race #8

Hey folks,
Check out the voting on the right, time to pick what you want...
Our final race of the season will be a revival of one of the previous races in the league. They are:

Race #0
We didn't get points for it, but many moons ago we thrashed SEM S2000 Honda race cars around Autumn ring. It was a manic race, lots of spins and some shunting. But I think we all knew by then that it was going to be an awesome season. Perhaps easy points for someone who shone back then? (though by this picture I think it would be hard to choose!).

Race #1
So few of us attended this race, but it turned into an excellent night's racing. the XKR and IFS road cars were proper tail happy, and that coupled with the tight Monaco track made for some fun racing. Anyone else fancy trying their hand?

Race #2
In contrast, we had a better turn out for the wet race around Suzuka. Who can forget hammering down the back straight in the wet, only to come across a wall of brake lights as folks slammed on the anchors to get round the corners. This was a great race in a previous season and remains solidly fun in this one.

Race #3
A couple of favourite race cars made an appearance here - The JGTC Skyline and Supra. Not matched on paper (the Skyline scores higher) but it turns out that the Supra seemed to have the edge. For me, this race showed me that Evan was going to be a contender - every corner had him passing or pushing for the pass, a top race!

Race #4
I don't think I have to talk about this one... 587pp and Le Mans 24 minutes of racing. Simply a stunning race decided in the last couple of corners despite nearly a half hour of racing. And night racing too - oh my that made a difference!

Race #5
Our favourite (only) JGTC race cars came back to race Fuji Speedway. A legendary race that we'll talk about for a long time. If only to lament the fact that half the field forgot to change to Racing Soft tyres before the race. I thought it was going too easy...

Race #6
Karts? Meh. Gallardos? bring em on! Who would have thought you could do a Scandinavian flick into a hairpin at Monaco. Turns out it worked quite well. Better than the "sharts" anyway...

Race #7
Who's to say. It's an epic track that we've all had some time on. And we'll be using our favourite non-race 587pp racers. The races will be 4 laps each standard rules. We're all excellent racers so it promises to be an awesome race.
