SFGTP 5 五 
in association with
Proudly present:
The Official SFGTP5 logo from ceiling_fan's design studios!
After his monster 12 hr drive, Kylehnat arrives and is allowed a beer break before assuming the "supervisory role" in getting the RIGGRacing cockpits assembled by D.Pritchard, RadRacing & Smallhorses.
Smallhorses & RadRacing fit (or is that fight?) another set of seat rails into place.
Kylehnat "bossing" hard!
The completed LAN1 side. D.Pritchard's massage parlour / race station rounds out the lineup.
Another view of LAN1 (and a partially started LAN2) ready & waiting for everyone else's equipment to arrive on Saturday morning.
Front to Back: alrivers, raz_10, EDK & billyjoebobx refamiliarise themselves with GT4 physics as ceiling_fan & Kylehnat observe.
L to R: & Kylehnat & ceiling_fan watch LAN1 as D.Pritchard & cmpinberkeley smile for the camera.
raz_10's face is fixed in the concentration stare that won him lots of races over the weekend, while he warms up on LAN1, and RadRacing & the back of jmgyro's head are visible on LAN2.
With the networks established on both LANs, the FF Racecar handicap gets underway. Sadly we were 1 networkable PS2 away from the full 12 seat setup, so 2 sets of 5 were run instead. RadRacing & EDK face the camera on LAN2.
Another view of LAN2 with EDK, Kylehnat & alrivers grappling with the FF Race Cars. Meanwhile over on LAN1, ceiling_fan's Mugen Motul Civic holds 5th place while billyjoebobx pursues raz_10's VW Beetle Cup Car.
Who says there's no motion blur in GT4? Oh, wait... the whole picture is fuzzy.
D.Pritchard, Vaxen, ceiling_fan, billyjoebobx & raz_10 fight for FF Race Car honours.
jmgyro watches the race on LAN1 as (L to R) alrivers, Kylehnat, EDK, RadRacing & cmpinberkeley duke it out on LAN2.
Into Day 2 (hence everyone's change of clothes!!!) and a 6-way setup is established for the infamous Clio Endurance. 49 laps of Midfield Raceway Reverse await 6 teams of 2 drivers. raz_10, ceiling_fan, & EDK can be seen driving their stints, along with the top of D.Pritchard's head!
Alternate view of the Endurance LAN, ceiling_fan's head, EDK, & D.Pritchard can be seen clearly, Kylehnat is obscured in the background on the end station, and in the "Race Cave" shielded from view by EDK's whopping TV is Vaxen!
Various co-drivers look on as their teammates thrash their Clios. billyjoebobx, alrivers (looking startled by his snacks and in his party clothes from the night before!), jmgyro and by the looks of things RadRacing is getting his coat!
Was it something we said? 
billyjoebobx, jmgyro & RadRacing drive one of their many stints in the Clio Cup Car during the Endurance Race.
Close up of the neglected LAN1 during the Clio Endurance race.
itgirlxx takes over on jmgyro & ceiling_fan's endurance race station after a mechanical failure forces them out of the race. For some strange and bizarre reason with 38 laps gone the DFGT that jmgyro was using stubbornly refused to shift gears anymore despite numerous resets. Their car was parked on the inside of the hairpin, and itgirlxx kept it there by standing on the brake pedal for the remaining 12 laps of the race!
itgirlxx feigns driving the Clio Cup Car and tries to put off RadRacing on her left and EDK (in the wonderful "Beeriodic Table" T-shirt) on her right.
Shortly after a power-breaker trip cuts the last race of the 18 in the "Dutcho Schtyle Raysching League" our wine-waiter, alrivers busts out a celebratory bottle of bubbly. ceiling_fan appears to have developed a neck-crick which may have turned him into his alter-ego exhaust_fan!
As the bubbly flows, the dismantling begins.
With bubbly in hand (and a regulation soft drink for our minor, ceiling_fan) we assembled for the group photo.
"We have definitely got everyone, right?"
"Yeah, sure. Everyone's here, say "cheese"."
(L to R) Back Row: ceiling_fan, cmpinberkeley, EDK, D.Pritchard, alrivers, Kylehnat, billyjoebobx
Front Row: RadRacing, raz_10, Smallhorses, Vaxen
Smallhorses & Vaxen seem to be having a slo-mo start to a foot race as the rest of the guys begin a toast to the great weekend of racing.
Drinking to the toast!
"Hey, wait a minute, if everyone's here, and itgirlxx is taking the pictures, who the heck just flushed the toilet upstairs?"
Oops. We forgot jmgyro!
Reassembled again as a complete posse this time, including jmgyro on the end of the back row, EDK makes a gesture so shocking that ceiling_fan feels obliged to point it out, and alrivers just has to turn away!
Let's try that again, sensibly, children. Oh, there's always one, isn't there?
The complete 五 - "Go!" lineup.

) each driver gets 6 races and drives each of the cars only once. Tracks are not announced in advance so no-one knows what's coming and which cars to save for faster or more twisty tracks.
) and general mayhem ensues for the best part of 2 hours! 👍👍👍
(Due to a power failure during the 18th race!) This means due some cunning mathematickery by jmgyro that all drivers have 15 races each.
