It's past my bedtime or I would :)

Spent all day rebuilding my rig to be ready for my T500RS that should be delivered tomorrow. Didn't get much practice today so you can be sure I'll be grinding like hell on the new wheel for the next two weeks. Assuming UPS arrived on time :)

Went from this:

To this:

To say the new setup is sturdier is an understatement to say the least, and the new one can take reverse mounted pedals too which was not an option before.
 
@nasty
Nice job man, that'll definitely do the job!

@The Brits

Good luck guys, have a great time in Silverstone, I know there'll be a lot of pressure involved but still do try to unwind and have fun when you're not being pressed to perform. Enjoy it!

Ok now
No biting, no eye gouging, no hitting below the belt. When I say break, I want you to break. I want a good clean fight, OK? All right, touch gloves and come out at the bell. LET'S GET IT ON!
 
Does somebody know if it will be a streaming of Brit finals?
Today's action is likely to appear on the GTAcademy Facebook and Instagram pages.

I'll be there tomorrow and live Tweeting as much as I can.
 
Here's a link to the Instagram page btw:

Got three photos up from today so far, with the most recent (from the time of this post) being the group shot:

Hmm, before we get too carried away loading this thread up with news on the actual Nat. Finals themselves, someone should really create a dedicated thread for following the British Territory Finals, maybe even a combined "European Territory Finals" thread.

Here's pictures from the Italian Nationals happening today too I guess:

Was hoping to catch a glimpse of whether they were running 5 or 6... no dice. Those rigs could run either one obviously...
