Default The Great Boat Race - Wisteria, Kentucky, Clover!

Why wait for the GT3's to get here before we can race when we can do so now whilst crossing the pond!

Which one is going to be the first to cross the line and drop the first batch of MY15's on our fine shores?

Wisteria Ace - Dep: 10/09 Dest: Davisville Arr: 10/20

Kentucky Highway - Dep: 10/11 Dest: Davisville Arr: 10/21

Clover Ace - Dep: 10/14 Dest: Brunswick Arr: 10/25

Bad weather has meant that ships are sort of neck and neck. The underdog is if course Clover Ace but as we know anything is possible!

Let the race begin!

I'm not quite sure where the other boats are but the Clover Ace is just about to leave the English Channel

This map is the latest but the positions of the Wisteria and Kentucky are not current. The position of the Clover Ace is current.

What constitutes arrival? The reason I ask is, when my Carrera got delivered last summer, it "arrived" at Davisville but anchored for 3 days outside the harbor while waiting for dock space.

It is but has the weather affected it?

In this instance I think "arrival" should constitute cars being unloaded. What say ye?

Interesting that the clover ace took the english channel, and the others went north through the north sea. Either been hijacked or are avoiding the storm somehow. Unless that's the common route to Davisville.

Wisteria Ace will win with a decisive victory. How could she not? She left Emden 60 hours before Kentucky by the same North Sea route and she is 20 years younger! I will take all bets,
