Capp Cup v3.0 - SEASON 3 COMPLETE! DSGERBC CHAMP!

[BrandonW77]

My lounge is open if anybody's lookin' to race some Alfa's!

I just set up that yahoo widget thing to grind Bob while the ps3 isn't busy. It is on totally random right now, but I plan on making sure the Cappy peeps get some love.

So I take it Alfas are next on the menu?

Indeed it is. The TZ2, it can be won from the Expert Historic B-Spec if you don't have it. 👍

It's Thanksgiving time here in 'Merica and I'm lucky enough to have the rest of the week off from work. RDAardvark and I are trying to get some more Euro drivers involved this season and we're going to try getting a group together Friday for some Alfa racing. It will be a bit earlier in the day than normal so we can accommodate their time zone but hopefully a lot of us on this side of the pond are off of work/school on Friday and can attend. Not positive on the time yet but probably around 3/4pm EST I would guess. I will update when we know for sure but wanted to let you guys know early enough that you could plan for it.

I'm going to need some new photos/video for the Alfa Series so I'd love to get a good group together Friday, pictures always look better with a full field of cars. I have a few replays saved with the Alfa but only with 5 or 6 cars. We'll plan on racing at all the tracks I'm looking at for the season, Spa, Monza, Daytona Road, la Sarthe (with time change!), Nurburgring, Monaco. I'm sure I'll have the lounge open again later that evening for those who are only available later. Let me know if you'll be free this Friday!

Thanksgiving was last month here in the Great White North so this is a normal work week for Canucks. I can make it on Friday but weather permitting, I'll be outside until sundown so I'll check on you guys when I get home, see if you're still running.

 

[Menown]

I work for an American company in the Great (thankfully not yet) White North, so I do get Friday off, but I'll be picking up my daughter from daycare at 4 EST, so I won't be there until my usual 8 EST, but I'll drop by. I will be around in the morning though, so if you need help with any last second testing I'll be in GT land somewhere.

 

[BrandonW77]

Found these photos of the real Pebble Beach Concourse winning Alfa TZ2, the exact one that the GT5 TZ2 is rendered from. Pretty dang cool how accurate they are!

 

[RDAardvark]

Whose lounge are we holding the Friday event in?

If I get the new lounges up and running by Friday we'll have a go in them, otherwise it will be in my lounge. I'll post details when I know for sure.

 

[Menown]

I keep forgetting to post a couple of pictures I have. I love the leather strapping to hold the hood on, or whatever it is for.

I think it's for spanking mis-behaved children, it was a different world back then.

Sadly, I'm gonna miss the Alfa fun this Friday, going to pay a visit to the Great Not-yet-white North neighbor.

Ahhh, America's hat! I was there last year for the F1 race in Montreal. Drove the whole way so got to see a lot of Canadian countryside, it was nice.

Good man yourself!
I'm hoping to entice some of the Fun Racers crowd - That's if they can tear themselves away from Forza and Battlefield. Yes Dave, I'm talking about you!

It's like Russia, but closer and a bit milder, with foxes walking the streets instead of bears.

 

[RDAardvark]

"It's like Russia"? But with Bryan Adams?
"Now, now, the Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions!"

 

[Menown]

What are you talking abooot. lol

Is it me or is Granturismo.com down? EDIT, It was just me :/

They can never apologise enough...

I'd like to join you on Friday. Love the alfa.

Oh, and those are fantastic pics Freaky!

[RDAardvark]

Anyone know where to buy some leaded petrol for this old girl? Can I pay in pounds, shillings and pence?

That's terrible. Mocking the elderly. Poor Jack will shout at you, once he's put his teeth back in.
(I'll run and hide too!)

#2Edit: also id be in for some fun racing these tonight too but if its allways a friday cant compete as WSGTC starts in January....

Nothing's set in stone yet, but we'll probably be racing on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Do pop in tonight if you can.

We're just running on Friday this week because some of us are off work due to Thanksgiving so we have time for testing. We will be running multiple nights a week just like the Capp Cup did so hopefully the Tuesday or Saturday time slot will work out for you.


I plan on being around for a lot of racing today, especially in the Alfa. I have some stuff to do this morning but I'll post details here when we know for sure what time the lounge will be opening. Looking forward to some great Alfa Action!
