Christmas Greetings from the Blog

Greetings Internet,

I has been almost a year since this corner of the internet was brought into being - a couple of weeks before the season kicked off back in March and now as the year draws to a close I can say that it has been a fairly successful opening year. The blog has received viewers from all across the world with readers in the U.S. across Europe and with a nicely surprising following in Singapore.I has been an honour to have all of you here on this journey throughout the season across the 19 races covered in 2011 and looking forward to the same again in 2012 and hopefully the audience will grow even more over the coming year.

Ideally I would liked to sent off the pre-Christmas season with a final competitive trip out in an alternative blogmobile - something specially painted up for the event. The plan was to run in the final round of the online Megane Eurocup season in this new special blogmobile to finish off the year. Alas this was not to be - technical difficulties prevented the simulator from contacting the server and thus kept the blogmobile off the grid. But looking at the timesheets for the race I would have finished 7th barring contact and ending up in the barrier - which considering the track ( a mountainous street track in Argentina used for the FIA GT1 series) was a distinct possibility.

The proposed Megane Blogmobile

Consequently this post is going to be a little truncated as the online competition element of the blog has been put on hold for now until the simulator can pick up the server list, and the grid that did make the event only half of the entry list were online, so perhaps it was a more generic problem. 

But now there is no race report or highlights video - although those were just ideas at the time - so all that's left to is to extend plentiful Christmas wishes from me here - a little south of the normal Blog HQ not that it's any warmer. There is of course the matter of this being an internationally viewed series of contributions to the world so I do hope you enjoy the winter season and whatever holiday you subscribe to. This isn't the end of the blog for the year oh no - I shall be here with this computer hoping to get some online competition sorted in the meantime. So until then farewell for now and a Merry Christmas to you all.
