A short little review about some things that happend in our team in the last months or since we celebrated our 5th birthday.

So what was/is going on here in the Team:

- Leading - Leaving -
Many wondered why we pulled out of the Gand Touring Amateur league (GTAL) where we were leading the championships.

To make it short:

We didn't wanted to comply the claims that our guest driver from F1RST Racing had.

The cooperation was made to let him learn a bit more about league driving and strategy in our team and part of that learning process was:
No matter how good or fast a driver is, it's always the Team or the Team leaders who decide about the team and who will drive for the team or what skin is used. That went wrong.

In the end we here at T7R were not to committed to the car and the series to drive on on our own for the rest of the season. So we pulled out to let our Guest driver drive for another Team, as this would not have been possible for him if we stayed in the league.

We don't want to explain here all the reasons in detail and it was not a bad cooperation but think about that:

Vettel would be a guest driver from Ferrari who joined Red Bull and says I only drive on if Button would join me as a teammate for the last seasons race or I don't race any more races here for you. And I would like to have a skin on the Red Bull car painted half Ferrari and half McLaren. I guess the Red Bull leaders would have a good laugh about that too. ;-)





- Joining -

Now to something more positive:

We have a new trial member. Tomas Tumz(DK) D. an 36 year old Dane who had some bad luck with his former teams (they all closed the doors). He was searching for a new harbour were he can drive without pressure but with the benefits a team usually brings. Driving and practising together, sharing setups, getting tipps, tricks and
news. We offered that to him and we'll see in some months if he still wants to be part of us.
Then he will be the next full member of Triple 7 Racing.

- Winning -

Even so we are not that active at the moment (who wonders after so many years) some of us still manage to drive here and there in some leagues or events.
Gavin (P1LOT) was driving "the beast" (some say the RACEABOUT or RAC car) in the Road Sport Winter Cup II (RSWC) from 2009 to 2010 and archieved finally a 3rd place in the Championship standings. wich gave us another Trophy for our Trophy Room. Thanks for that Gav.

Jan (Three Jump), Kris (Pingo) and Tomas (XXXXX) driving in the ATC 60 laps league were Jan (2x) and Pingo (1) could win a few races so far. Congratz guys.

- Skinning -

We are still working (mainly Gavin) on new skins, logos etc. A few of them are already in use. First we showed the new design and the new T7R logo in the GTAL and later in the RSWC and in the ATC GPs. Finally we want to get in a state were we do not use (have to create) any personal skins anymore. One size fits all ;-)

Due to real life stuff it all takes longer these days but sooner or later they'll be finished and we'll also change the colours of the website a little bit and use our new logo here too. Here is a little preview:

P1LOT (Gavin) Was working next to the skins on other little things. Soon his status will be married with child(ren) ;-) and he also got a new car. 

Kris (Pingo) is doing other things (also bought a car some time ago) and Deano (Dean) just opened up his new website where you can buy great quality prints and nice pictures etc. go have a look at : www.deansnell.co.uk
