Welcome to Friendly Races Sunday Cup​

I did start a community in GT SPORT named Friendly Races. The idea was all about fun and clean racing so at first I did set it like not champion ship or big competition but only theme lobby on regular schedule such as tribute to a car or VS, tribute to a track etc etc …...
Now after a few weeks on hold I decided to make a fresh start next September with a Cup that I will run from September 2019 to June 2020 with point system and hope it will be a fun and fair contest.
It’s gonna be called Sunday Cup Classic Cars Season 2019 – 2020.

What about Friendly Races >>
Main goal >> Nice gathering and fun on track
Main events >> Sunday Cup and Le Mans Racing
Main rules >> Drive your best pay attention on each other try to keep 2 wheels on track
Main caution >> Before enter the lobby please don’t forget to clean cache

• If trying to pass in an unappropriated condition or in tough move, run off track he’s opponent and didn’t wait to give the position back.
• Taking over another car under penalty (it makes only good sens that the penalty should be purge to do so).
• Cutting the track at the same place to offend during a race (we all could lost grip or breaking late and cut the track by accident) I will only give this warning if it looks on purposes and regular.
• And also all behaviors that doesn’t match the clean racing that is defined in GT Sport and Gtplanet by The Good Racecraft Guide.

[richroo]

Nice racing with you
Was a good race for me untill i pitted and over fuelled had to sack the pit crew ..well can't sack myself

@fadmad good to see you..

 

[e_Tom]

Thanks for your support @richroo 👍
I really enjoyed the event on Tsukuba. As I already said for the first one it went very well and it's promising for the future.
The fuel is hard to manage when there is endurance race set with time and not number of laps, I also put more than I needed. @fadmad did a great job no pit and ended empty tank 👍

This evening I'll post a resume about Sunday Cup Round 1

Sunday Cup Round 3 Subaru WRX STI VS Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final​

Here we are 3thd Round for Sunday Cup. I’m glad we did keep it running great.

Only one disappointment during last event one driver had the worst attitude on track push 2 other in crash then leave right a way 👎. That is not the spirit we want to share in Friendly Races. I thought friendly meant some thing but apparently for some it doesn't
Any way we’ll be still racing and prove those bad guys we’re on right track.


For next Sunday I’d like a VS race with Japaneses 4W Subaru WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final on Sainte-Croix B

See you all on track for good racing

 

[bloodyboyblue]

I MIGHT show up for this this week (and in the future), but most likely won’t until next Sunday. Seems like a good companion to the A-Z racing later in the day.

So there’s this at 15:00, A-Z at 18:00, and my Toyota series at 21:00. Sundays are great.

Good to see some of the old classic car racing crew again.

HI @bloodyboyblue nice to see you getting in 👍 you'll be very welcome
All drivers in the community drive fair and clean
The events that I will set might be different could be any kind from LMP to old and classic cars tribute
As you I really miss old muscle car racing and that is one off the reason I did start this thread.

See you on track mate

Sunday Cup Round 2 results​

Sunday Cup Round 2 went well thank you guys for nice driving and respect on track.

First Race Alsace – Village Corvette Stingray Convertible C3 69

Unfortunately first lap Sheeshyman and hudurtounge had crash and they did abandon the race at that point both with broken cars.
After reviewing the replay turn out hudurtounge and Sheeshyman got run off by mo_speedo13.
The race split in 2 groups 3 in front YvesJan gu1tar3rich and GOE1963 3 behind Suti1955 Fadmad_gt5 Suti1955 and Tom_Ascar. In the back HippywifaGun and iamabily struggle with C3 big time. The second group fought well for several laps Fadmad_gt5 got Tom_Ascar after pit and was pass few laps after. At the end YvesJan was running out of tires with gu1tar3rich ready to pass him. I’m sure one more lap and gu1tar3rich could have take over.

Regulation>> mo_speedo13 is no longer allowed to participate in future events

Race results

Sheeshyman and hudurtounge crash

Fadmad_gt5 got Tom_Ascar after pit

gu1tar3rich nice car in pit

Finish line gu1tar3rich was close

Second Race Corvette Stingray C7 ‘14 Blue Moon Bay Speedway – Infield A

Oups here we had to jump from C3 69 to C7 14 that was the challenge.
First corner went well YvesJan started he’s way trough the pack and as usual HippywifaGun visit the grass a a bit. GOE1963 broke front down force by sliding on the wall and had to pit on third lap. HippywifaGun chose to pit 8th lap and that looks like a good strategy HippywifaGun ended 2 on finish line. R_Soriano_s tried all race with no pit but couldn't do it run out of fuel last lap. Gu1tar3rich pushed hard before last lap Tom_Ascar was under big presure unfortunately Gu1tar3rich run out of Fuel during last lap as GOE1963, Suti1955, R_Soriano_s and Fadmad_gt5 .

Race results

Hey Tom , are we doing 25min x2 change car ? And how to split lobby for car choice first round ?

No it is a 50 minutes race you have to pick a car Subaru WRX STI or Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final
But you are right 👍 for a VS race it could be more fun to drive both cars
I'll keep that in mind for next Sunday

Sunday Cup Round 3 Subaru WRX STI VS Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final​

The Race

Results >>

This Sunday Cup was tricky about the Fuel lots of us ended empty tank on finish line. It looks like the best strategy was to make 2 pits, in order to be sure to have enough fuel and race with good tires. I did experiment it with gu1tar3rich got him twice in the pit but couldn't resist with bad tires. The first part of race was a rough fight between bloodyboyblue and Sheeshyman. It was exactly the VS I was looking for thank you both for that great racing. bloodyboyblue in Subaru WRX STI Sheeshyman running Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final.

bloodyboyblue and Sheeshyman fighting on track >>

gu1tar3rich and Tom_Ascar the pit ballet >>

Again another nice event thank you guys for keeping it fun

​

bloodyboyblue >> Best fight on track
Sheeshyman >> Best fight on track

Same trophy for both racers this week-end they earn it

Sunday Cup Round 4​

Toyota Supra 3.0GT TURBO 1988 VS Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX 1989

Next Sunday Cup is gonna be a VS like the last we had on St Croix, racing 2 cars and compete with the best we could is something I really enjoy .

As for this 2 cars I couldn’t find a proper balance that makes them almost equal I will follow @richroo idea and run 2 races. That way we will enjoy racing with both cars I think it should be more fun. The second race will be revers grid and each drivers should use both car during the event.

Sunday Cup Round 4 ​

Again Sunday Cup Round 4 went well thank you all for the great spirit on track 👍. This week-end we had only 7 drivers but who need more when there is the best you have.


Unfortunately I have to put Sunday Cup on hold for 2 weeks.

It will start again March 03 I’ll keep you posted

First race >>
For the first race bloodyboyblue and Sheeshyman started in front they manage to make a gap during the first laps and they both keep that spot the all race. Sheeshyman tried to overtake bloodyboyblue in the pit but was a bit to sort. Behind them a group of 3 drivers Fadmad_gt5, Simba2009Lora and Tom_Ascar fought for several laps. Simba2009Lora toke over when Fadmad_gt5 slide off track and step by step Simba2009Lora make his way far from Tom_Ascar and Fadmad_gt5.

first hairpin >>

Fadmad_gt5, Simba2009Lora and Tom_Ascar the group behind >>

Sheeshyman exit pit a bit behind >>

Second race >>
I did forgot to save the replay sorry guys no pictures 👎 stupid Tom did it again
Simba2009Lora make a nice start and lead almost the all race but bloodyboyblue make his way trough the pack and after pit toke over Simba2009Lora. Iamabily tried a different strategy pit at the last time, unfortunately it didn’t work form him. Poor Fadmad_gt5 had lots trouble with the Supra 3.0GT TURBO during that race.

Fadmad_gt5 >> The one with the wrong car​

Thank you all
I will never said it enough without you that event will never work that way
