Team Oldies new cars


Team Oldie has taken delivery of its new racing fleet. The colour scheme was designed and painted by MaddRip. We think he has done a tremendous job. The renders you see here were supplied by Dave Gymer. This just leaves the Lotus Cortina to kit out in the team colours.

This is another example of the kind of guys who race in the UKGTL series. Thanks to Matthew and Dave for their time and skill

We'll be keeping you updated on our race progress as the season unwinds

Back in the Saddle

After almost a year the Team Oldie racers are back in the saddle.

After updating to v1.5 of GTR and then discovering the league wasn't going that way the grumpy old buggers decided they were not going to follow suit threw the dummy out and they dropped out.

In the meantime Tom "Hannu Spannu" Cooper with loads of time on his hands found and loved GTL. Once again he set off on an epic testing quest (well he is retired and got loads of spare time). So donning his Ross Brawn overalls and specs he singlehandedly dragged TeamOldie Racing back to life.

After competing in the UKGTL league he has finally tempted his HARD WORKING brother back behind the wheel of those wonderful GTL machines and join in the fun of the UKGTL Ladder.

After 3 races the team is in 4th spot (dont ask us why) but by some obscure mathematical formula UKGTL head honcho Dave Gymer makes it all work.

The racing has been of a particularly high standard (for online) where drivers talents are usually in inverse proportion to their egos. The league has now embarked on a skins project to try to get all teams with their own distinctive paint jobs to make car recognition easier. A fact appreciated by the slower Mike "Oilseal" Cooper who is making a career out of being overtaken.

As the season progresses I'll keep all interested readers up to date.

Well!! until GTR 2 is released anyway.
