 Good evening,
many thanks to the Clubs NERCS and Viking for providing us with some great videos of the rounds they ran   
It is very much appreciated by the entrants and the wider audience. So although it takes quite a bit of additional effort, it does give clarity and transparency  to how the cars have run at each venue.

So finally I would like to thank all the entrants who have participated in not just this proxy, but all the 3 associated ones of the Triple Crown Series. 
Without your support and loyalty these events would not exist. And of course our hosts either as individuals or Clubs. It is quite demanding on you and other club members time with running the cars, and of course there are always issues with getting the cars collected and delivered.....best not to dwell on that too much.

A special thank you to Jason B whose IT skills surpassed all my expectations in regard to his work developing the SCOREBOARD on Slotracer online (a first for any proxy), hopefully I will get the latest results finally updated when the server issues are resolved.  I have made a promise that I will never again develop such a complicated scoring system, for future proxies, but I am quite gratified that the system did work in essence and that in practise it did provide some additional awards to those others than the immediate Event winners.

Also I would also like to thank our Sponsors who have supported these proxy events over the last few years.

With this proxy, we seemed to have the closest final results, which I think is great providing the opportunity for different podium winners and runners up over the series. I hope we get much of the same going forward.
I have looked at in particular at the epic battle between Green Star / Porsche 911 & Brumos RSR Ferrari 458, I did consider whether it should finish with a kind of additional "shoot out" race but really this would not be representing the reality that both cars are equally as good as each other after 10 rounds of the cars running on 10 different tracks and drivers. Actually looking at the "fastest lap" totals for each of these cars over the 10 Rounds there was only 0.1sec difference, and if you look at the average of the fastest laps of these cars over the 10 Rounds it was only 0.02 sec difference.

So it was another great proxy to run, and I am grateful for the opportunity given to me by all the participants to have organised it.
