Well done Leo really enjoyed the footage of the stage. You even managed to make the wife’s Mini look promising! Unluckily for future hosts she has said mini evo 2 will be back! The less said about my brothers dog of an escort the better! Back to the drawing board with that one!
Really enjoyed it and looking forward to the final push.
Thanks again Leo! (Plus previous hosts and Graham for organising it all!) Thumbup

Good driving Leo Sun

Always impressed to see my little Mazda MX5 going reasonably quickly,  and only crashing once Ambulance

It isn't the fastest,  but the fact it is still going this far into the event is a real bonus.  Enjoy the final stage.....

Hi Leo,

Great videos and photos, but according to your results sheets the Ferrari 166 took 2nd in the 1950s class, and my Jaguar XK120 should be 3rd in the podium photo. (I think my Jaguar crew must be getting tired after a long month's road racing - misjudging a couple of those tight corners in their timed run! Bigsmile ).

Cheers,
Duncan

Grrr!  Thank you Duncan, have posted a correct shot of the Classic 50s podium below. 
Perhaps a moderator could replace the dud? 

I enjoyed driving all of the cars, to be honest, I was expecting to re-slot the Mini 1275GT at every other corner but it was actually good.

The grippy surface of Ninco track can be a challenge to cars that have been tuned on a smooth flat track.  I set up my cars on it and therefore have an excuse when they feature at the tail end of proxy event results Rofl

Wavegreen Hello. once again many thanks to Merchiston Motors for giving us some interesting videos and interesting times for stage 11 of the road race.
I think for the first time the GT40 of Team Demon actually had the fastest time of any car in all the classes.
But on the otherhand did the Merc of Team Demon get caught napping at the "Rest & Be thankful"

And one has to say that as a result of this stage , the Class's A & B have closed up again, which will give us a nail biting end to this long but exciting Road Race.

The sea is in sight. but who will get there first I wonder, and is there still some surprises in store for us

Anyway here is the placings at the end of Stage 11

   

And The team points summary

   

And full details on the pdf files attached

So we are now ready for the last run to John O'Groats
