Yep, best 5 days I had in a long time, camping at 'Brünnchen' and went to paddocks before start and end. We even met Polyphony people there, just hanging out at the Schulze Motorsport box waiting for Kaz to finish the last stint. The 24h race is an absolutely amazing experience we will surely repeat every year from now on.

Guess where I rushed back from to get to our Eiger Nordwand Reverse meeting? A clue, a Kurtis 500S was leading from a Cooper Bristol and a Lotus 10 Bristol.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the Sunday Clasics. Not much online racing experience, mostly do the seasonal time trials.
I must say, racing with everyone today at Eiger was much more enjoyable than I expected. I had a blast!
Hopfully I didn't ruin anyones race, Driving the 250 GTO was a handfull for me I just couldn't seem to keep it in check.
Other than that I enjoyed competing with everyone. Nice to get to use some of the fantastic cars I haven't used.
I think I may have even managed a third place finish in one race although I realize the grid was short a few or the regular drivers. Hey I'll take it, I may never see another.
I'm looking forward to next week.
Thanks to all for a great afternoon of racing.

Thanks Waukazoo - you had a great debut. Hopefully people enjoy the cars even when they are challenging to drive. The results and race photos will be published shortly. Eiger is a fiddly track, but it is similar in nature to some of the tarmac rally stages on which many classic cars were driven and it always produces great photos. Until then enjoy a few more pictures from the AMOC meeting at Brands Hatch which I attended with Mook today.

Thanks IfAndOr - the cars sounded good, but were running silencers which allows the Grand Prix circuit to be used on more days. Because of the proximity of the houses to the GP loop there are only a small number of "noisy" days allowed per year. Anyone who hasn't been to an AMOC event (Aston Martin Owners Club) they have a truly fantastic variety of cars and interesting classes from pre WW2 up to modern cars which compete in the intermarque races - Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin etc.
Above, Nick Mountford the driver of the Triumph TR4 was a great guy - he had Mook's daughter sit in the car and help him check the steering. Look at the Guards Trophy sticker - our Cobra Ferrari Wars championship is based on the Guards International Trophy entry for Brands Hatch in 1963 and the race authorities have coincidentally launched a new Guards Trophy for cars from that period.
Sadly I didn't get any photos of the five Cobra's that were competing or the fabulously rare polished aluminium Iso race car, but hopefully Mook has got those covered.

(Warning: Extremely long post)I'll be able to do the WSR and hopefully get my first victory in an online series, as the much flatter Silverstone will significantly reduce the chances of the ground effects suddenly and violently revolting against the driver, which happened to me a bunch of times yesterday and ultimately prevented me from getting my first victory, though that one lap after the one where I lost a couple positions and the lead to LexLathor was quite quick(1:05.XXX
). Thankfully I am both much better and much more comfortable at Silverstone then I am at Eiger, and the reduced likelihood of suddenly enraging the ground effects will allow me to push much harder and much more comfortably around there without the deathly fear of making the ground effects turn into "oversteer effects." That being said, your domination of this series LexLathor and IfAndOr is over! 
Thanks!
Put me down for the GT350 in Inverness Green (I grew up driving a '67 Mustang that color.)
My old Cobra is Guardsman Blue with white stripes. I can paint or buy new if that color is over represented.
My Elan is French Blue, but I could change it.
I'm looking forward to this!

Good luck Ryan and I'm glad you like Silverstone - we are using the Silverstone International layout as this is most appropriate for classic cars as it has been in use since 1949. Harsk and Flaco are also very fast - may the best driver win and all have an enjoyable meeting!
