The Super Duper Ultra Mega-Special Fantastic Incredibly Amazing Mallet Trophy Super Cup Race

CLUB ID: 1001609

In honor of Mallet @S_Bridge, who is unable to race GT6 at the moment, we have come up with a special race to ease his suffering. If only a little bit.

The race settings in full can be found HERE.

In a nutshell the race will be a Practice/Qualifier/Race event to be held at the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit
for 26 laps (as in half a deck of cards).

It will be the usual Z8CC Club settings (500pp, Sports Hard & Heavy Damage), with the additional
setting of Fast tyre/fuel consumption.

Pre-race will see 8 minutes of solo qualifying.

If we are lucky the race will be put up on Youtube to be remembered forever (albeit probably in a shortened version).

Let's all give Mallet something to be proud of, eh? :)

The race should be finished in time for the Mini races of the evening.
______________________________________________________




As per Mallet's wishes the race will have a Theme. The Theme is British Punk Rock. 👍
So feel free to modify your cars and drivers to what you feel would look best for the occasion.







I'll try to finish Top 6 for you, Mallet :)

Jocke, can I confirm that the rule is we must use both sport soft and sport hard at some time in the race, but all other tyres, including sport medium, are banned. Simple as that, no other restrictions on tyre choice?

Cheers, Zo. (I'm in, by the way.)

Just got off the phone with Mr. Hawksworth-Nine IV and yes, the enlarged text in your message is true. Simple as that :)



In other news, Mallet has offered his Z8 to me for this one-time-only event and I will get to drive it in his honor.
Thank you, Mallet. I'll take good care of her, promise.:mischievous:

Hey Mallet.
I checked the Community and there has been some additional sign-ups and the grid is growing.
Unfortunately PD has programmed the Community so that you can't actually see who they are. :lol:


👍
I still haven't been on a PS3 since the update so I've yet to see the community features. :(

It would be nice if any of the entrants made themselves known on here? :gtpflag:
 
I thought it was me who was being a doofuss Jocke, when I couldn't see who had signed up for the Rain Dance on 7th Jan. I wish it was that, at least there'd be an answer to it, now I've just got to accept that it can't be done. Who on Earth programmes these things?

Cheers, Zo. (I know you're there, by the way. Dusty too, I think. I'm dreaming of being able to take the fight to him again in the wet. Some hope.)
 
The grid is about half full right now, looking forward to this a lot since I haven't done many endurance races.

Apparently this bloke's best lap was 2:25.542
Car: BMW Z8 15th Anniversary '01
Track: Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit




If you are a friend of Mallet's take this opportunity to race in his honor. I'm sure he would appreciate it muchly.
 
I'd like to have a go at this, but I'm having trouble committing to longer races at the moment. If there's a space on the day and I'm free, I'll try and join in - if that's OK?

Major news today!, Mallet has managed to sign on with a new sponsor.
She is multi-billionairess Francesca de la Rosa from Interlagos, Brazil, and she has just become a major shareholder in Mallet Inc. (buying 95% of the company).

Rumors are that she might be present at Silverstone on race day.

I didn't even know about that!
I wonder what it will mean for the future of the team, bright prospects ahead hopefully. :)

I found out how to see the signed-up drivers for race events, PM me Zo and I can show it to you in pictures. 👍

I don't blame you Mallet, Miss de la Rosa likes to keep a very low profile. It even took her husband three months to realize she had filed for divorce!


The Community information shows the following drivers signed up for the race;


1. @buybon355 2. @JockeP22
3. @Dustybin 4. @gkgamer
5. @nonka 6. @Team_SWE_1
7. @Wayne Gratiot 8. unknown (not on friends list)

Goofy I think you mentioned before that you couldn't make it, is that right?

This event starts 2 hours before FergusMik's Mini races so we should be finished well in time
for that. 👍
