Very nice ! 
I was asking my wife (an IFA) why she didn't deal with Intelligent Money as they sponsor GT racing. She said some financially waffley stuff that I think meant you do different stuff to her

It was a great final race of the season. I thought the Sky coverage was excellent.
Shame the weather hampered your plans Julian but fingers crossed we all get to lots of the races next year.

It really was a great final race and despite the frustrations of me an others of not being able to be there I am sure we will all get to meet next year.Shame the weather hampered your plans Julian but fingers crossed we all get to lots of the races next year.

Just so everyone is aware, Sky simply broadcasted the usual SRO coverage rather than doubling up with their own. Great to see it there though!

Over the last nearly 20 years all of our business was from IFAs, but when (2 years ago) we set up a low cost direct to public service that offered free financial and tax planning with no IFA or platform fees then many stopped placing clients with us as the saw this as a threat.
Fair enough, we had reckoned for this, but the irony is that many of these IFAs then moved all their own investments to us using this!

I did wonder. I couldn't quite hear it well enough to be sure watching it bank on YouTube!Just so everyone is aware, Sky simply broadcasted the usual SRO coverage rather than doubling up with their own. Great to see it there though!

Are there any corvettes in this championship? Not really followed at all this year.. if not why not? Genuine question chaps...
Didn't they stop when they went to the new mid engined model ? The mid engined C8 has so far only been built as a GTE class car, which is the type of GT car you'd see at Le Mans - a tiny bit faster than GT3 for twice the money...
The last Corvette used British GT was probably in around 2004, which would have been a C5.

The GT3 Corvette only races in the ADAC GT Masters in Germany, where it won the championship a couple of years ago. That's a C7, so the last of the front engined ones.

Watching yesterday brought back memories of the final lap at Le Mans in 2017, hence asking...
Well, what a great end to a season that we didn't think would even go ahead at one point!
Given all of the obstacles put in front of us we managed to pull off a full season of racing and get classed as elite for Silverstone with 38 cars racing (or at least starting!) including Jenson and Chris joining the line up for the first time.
I have just got off the phone with SRO and we are already making plans for 2021 where we aim to top this and have all you guys and girls there.

Greatly enjoying the coverage and special mention to Joe Osbourne who I worked with for a while at Oulton Park, he is proving to be a very engaging and entertaining commentator .
He was absolutely superb - quick witted and funny without over-egging it and being too pleased with himself (looking at you Carlton Kirby), plus he obviously knows his stuff. .My first experience of him as commentator but I'd love it if he stepped into the "international" side of SRO GTs alongside David Addison

If you could ask them nicely to give the British GTs a slot on the Spa 24 weekend rather than the weekend before that'd be super (teams and drivers might not agree though)FredericRobinson said:
