GT3_2020_Proxy_Round 8 Edmonton

[F1Fan]

After the great event in Calgary, the cars are heading North to the City of Champions, recently renamed "City of CGYRacer"....let's see if Slowpoke can keep his winning streak going on the Dominator!

Just to make it very clear to those racing in this series, I have checked and double checked with the remaining hosts about their ability to run the event safely....only if they are 110% confident that they are able to do so, they should proceed. Their is 0 obligation or pressure from our side.

Good luck to you all, the rest of us might be racing for positions 2 and below, but we will still give it a good go!

[F1Fan]

Thank you Team Edmonton, great to have another TQ in this very tight & competitive field.

[radarek]

Thanks. My favourite class

[Courtney s]

CHRIS
you are the man great run

[Cgyracer]

Great job F1Fan!! You smoked us! Jimmy looking good too!

Thanks Dariusz for qualifying the GT3 cars.

Rob

[radarek]

Thx Rob

[ZackM]

Some super fast times!

Thanks for the runs.

Zack

[radarek]

Anything below 10s is fast, with cars doing 8.6 there is almost no fun with driving... 105% concentration... 8.618 I would say will be official record for the track. You may see better times during the race, but I would not pay attention to those as there is always a drift factor after power is cut off...
On the other hand last year I had Nsr P68 Stock.... absolutely stock... with Paul Gage white tires doing 8.68 laps... in preparation to TT’19 race. Any way... there is “no shame” in those cars and all builders participating... absolutely top notch, best of the best, all of you guys...

[ZackM]

I am happy to be in the 8 second club!

[Cgyracer]

Last year F1Fan qualified first but the car that qualified 10th won the race.

[Fast Co.]

I'm hoping the car that qualified 14th this year will win the race, but I may be asking for too much!

[F1Fan]

I am delighted to hear that perhaps #7 set a new track record, or at least got very close to setting the record. That's an amazing track with many quality drivers and cars racing, or having raced on it already, so to be in that top league is fantastic news.

Not sure how long it will last, but will take it for now.......but I will gladly trade the TQ for TWin....as they say, "qualify for show, race for the dough!"

Thanks again Dariusz and team, please stay safe, and take good care.

[Audi1]

Congrats to Chris, Jimmy and Rob on their Qualy podium positions!

On to the race!

Jimmy's car with Plafit chassis.... this car is a mind bender... when you grab it, it feels heavy, then you start slow, then there is a shock how good it handles all the corners... your mind is your only enemy...you drive...you learn... you trust... my second most favourite car from the batch...

[Audi1]

Yes, and I recall enjoying hearing his motor and drivetrain spool up on the long straights, almost sounded like a real 1:1 car!

[Brumos RSR]

Congrats Sir F1Fan, Jimmyslots and Sir CgyRacer on your qualifying times. Again close qualifying good luck to everyone on race day

[radarek]

WOW!!! 1 lap between 1st and 10th!!! Congratulations Sir F1 Fan, Lez who solidified a top 10 spot while moving Forward and Sir CgyRacer who continues with podium domination.
Looks like Zack has become the new bridesmaid and congrats Courtney S another rookie ( I don't think these guys are rookies) on his best finish also.

[Brumos RSR]

Dariuz, thank you and your team for running the round quickly,efficiently and staying safe at the same time.
