Alfa Z-Cup - Johnnypenso and Carracerptp Z-Cup Co-Champions!

[Johnnypenso]

Are the Capp Cup, Spot and Spec lounges being used consistently? Or is everything running through the Z cup right now?

As Brandon says it's all in the works. I suspect it'll take a few weeks to really sort things out and find a good rythmn and choice of events that are popular. Participation and gathering enough members will be key. With a membership in each lounge limited to 100 drivers, having full membership and people being active within the lounges will be key to the success of the venture.

I want to sign up for all 4 nights, but might not be able to make it to all of them. Due to my ever changing schedule. Im only a kid so if my parents decide to do something, BAM, my schedule is changed and i cant make it.

 

[BrandonW77]

^ That's exactly how this schedule is designed to work. You don't have to commit to any particular night but there are several opportunities to race every week, hopefully one of them will fit varying schedules. In the past it's worked very well and we usually have very solid grids of 10 drivers or more.

BTW, it was great racing with you last night. For being "only a kid" you showed some great driving skill and racecraft. Fast too! 👍 That incident at turn2 at Tokyo was totally my fault, I was trying to leave you room on the outside and ended up clipping the guardrail on the inside which made me bounce into you and spun me out. So no worries. Look forward to meeting you on track again!

Haha. I went back and watched the replay and i was kind of in your blind spot. So i guess its kind of my fault to

 

[BrandonW77]

^ Nah, I knew you were there and I didn't get a good run coming out of turn 1 so I figured you'd be closing up on me and possibly trying to squeeze through on the outside. I have my map zoomed into "2" so I can always clearly see when others are around me, helps to eliminate any blind spots. 👍

Is Tuesday EURO Only for european racers or can i enter that?

Anyone can enter any of the races.
They only have the Euro or NA designation to indicate that they are at times suitable for people in that area.

Alright all signed up and ready to go.

I'm planning on having the ORCA_Champ lounge open this evening for some Alfa fun if anybody's interested. Not sure what time yet, I'll post details later when I know for sure. Of course you all are free to open the Champ lounge whenever you want, if you post here that it's open I'm sure some Alfa Junkie's will be happy to join you. 👍

Here's a small taste of what's in store for the other lounges.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Great work on the ORCA banners. I think it captures the variety we're looking for just perfectly!!!

Yes, I second JP's comments.
Although those cappuccinos look strangely unsinged. Are you sure you burnt yours?

p.s. The ORCA_champ lounge is open. Very begrudgingly I am signed in as ORCA_champ so I can accept friend requests. Unfortunately I cannot change that flag!

Man, I guess it's true, the rest of the world really does hate 'Merica! Can't say I really blame you, if you get any of our tv shows they really make us look bad.


Funny thing happened when I was going through some old replays to get photos for that montage. The karting race was from December 2010, almost exactly a year ago, and look who else was in that race:

 

[LancerEvo7]

I KNEW THAT WAS ME.

I'm actually bringing that series back soon.

 

[Naptown25rs]

I'm actually bringing that series back soon.

ORCA multi-class kart championship FTW!

 

[BrandonW77]

Did you really? That was my first ever racing series, had some fun but it fizzled for some reason. Cami was in that race too but was at the bottom of the list so he didn't make it in the picture. Lol

I'd probably be up for a karting series if it fit my schedule. Especially if it ran in an ORCA lounge. I made a nice, big karting track for the 125 karts the other night, I'll put it on share so you can check it out.

Nope. I love merka. Wish I could visit more often (twice so far, and only to Florida).

And as for Tv shows, you gave us M*A*S*H, Cheers, Frasier and countless others. We won't mention Friends though.

I guess Florida is ok, but just remember it is Mericas penis. And last time I checked we also gave the world the Pinto and the Gremlin, it saddens me that these cars are not represented in GT5, either of those cars could go toe to toe with a Yugo any day of the week.

 

[luckylefty2gunz]

all those tv show are garbage...lol
and i'm even from that era, which makes it worse man i feel old right now...lol

 

[BrandonW77]

No way, Cheers and Frasier were great shows. I don't acknowledge the existence of Friends.

@Torzilla, I believe the term is 'Merica's Wang.

Welcome to the orange car with blue wheels club 👍

I will, only it was called "Coupling" and was funnier...

If Florida is a wang, what does that make California?

 

[Naptown25rs]

Exactly what you think it makes it... Don't ever take a holiday to that place.

 

[BrandonW77]

California's actually a beautiful state, San Francisco is one of the most amazing cities I've been to. Just steer clear of the natives, and L.A. Lol

 

[Menown]

My only visit to "mercia was St. Paul"s airport and that was only go get to Canada. The customs guy at international arrivals was a total douhce and the security theatre was ridiculous, but the ones I've worked with have been perfectly normal people and they ones I've met online via this series cement that.

I've not had the pleasure of going to San Fran or San Diego, I've heard good things about both places... My only experience is with L.A. 👎

I would imagine that northern California is close enough to being like Oregon, that I would probably like it as well...

 

[BrandonW77]

St. Paul is unofficially part of Canada, in fact all of Minnesota is. Lol
We have our fair share of super douche's here, just like anywhere, but most of us are good people. We just like to sue too much.

Careful Mr B: Someone could sue you over that comment!

Is anyone coming out to play later on? I need the practise at Daytona Road!

I'd love to, however, I'm still stuck at work... Glad I have 4 days off after today, I'm having GT5 withdrawal...

 

[Johnnypenso]

Based on the geographical location of Florida and California and their respective corresponding body parts, I guess that makes Detroit, just across the river from me, the armpit of America?

Here's hoping that they new Kart is a 125 shifter, even if it's just a two speed like the Rotax DD2 karts, as that'll make a dramatic difference in the low end. Add in the not so hidden Kart tracks at Fuji, Spa and a couple others, and perhaps a DLC world class track or two and Karting would be a lot more fun in GT5...they are so so close...
