The runs are done and some of them are pending adjudication as we speak! The rest will come later (waiting on submission points).
The machine took some getting used to, it plays a lot differently to a normal arcade version of Ridge Racer. 3 point steering vs the normal arcades steering takes a lot of getting used to! Unfortunately the gear shifter was not working so all my runs were done in automatic which tends to provide slightly slower times but overall it went well. The steering was also a bit of an issue as it was constantly pulling to the left but hey, it's old right?
I soldiered on...
Here are some pictures of the machine/event.
I got some stunning footage of the machine in action recorded in 4K:

For those not on 4K, here is a 1080p TT stage run:

I'd like to take this chance to thank Blackpool Pleasure Beach for allowing me to use their machine.
