Cpt. Disaster
I was surprised to find out after the event that only three of us started on comfort softs.

Well if you knew there is a glitch after a pitstop which reduce your lap times you whouldn't be suprised.
We had to do 13 laps on soft, that means you drived more than 30 laps on SH and every lap you where cuted by some time...

By the way, nice pics 👍

That makes sense Petros, after i changed to sport hards Bo, Will and Paul caught and overtook me. I thought the glitch had been sorted.
 
They sorted the glitch with wheel change in GT Auto. PD didn't mention anything so far after updates and fixes about changing tyres during pitstop.
 
Cracking report of Sunday's race on the Lotus Facebook page. We got lots of likes for this. Thank you Lotus. 👍👍👍

I will add you to the reserve list, and send you a PSN friend request. Even if you dont get the opportunity to take part in the main races, you are welcome to join us for the practice sessions. Official practice sessions will be held this weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8.00pm GMT.
 
Just ran a few laps at Monaco with Weescotman, Capt_D, Goodwolf, Nomad and a new face, Theewar. This was more of a test and tune session, to give me some idea of lap times so I can set the lap count. Will set the benchmark of the 2, 5 lap races we ran with a 1:54.8xx. My fastest was a 1:56.0xx. With these times in mind, the race on Feb 16th will probably be set to 32 laps, with 8 on the CS tyre. Im going to run some more laps tomorrow, so feel free to join. First official timed runs will be on Friday.

Ran a few laps again tonight, and 1, 5 lap race. No new times to post until tomorrow, when the first official runs take place. Tomorrows first timed runs will be on the SH tyre, and the races will be 4 laps. The lobby will be open from 8.30pm.
 
More awesome news guys. I have today been in touch with The Lotus Forums, official community partner to Lotus, and they will feature The Sunday Cup on their facebook page, and also their main website news page. They have also very kindly put up another prize. For all you F1 fans, a brand new in the packet Lotus Renault F1 team baseball cap from the 2012 season. Big thanks to The Lotus Forums for their support. The facebook page is HERE, and the main website is HERE. Please visit these links guys, and like/register to show our appreciation.

Couldn't post some Monaco set ups lads, I started tinkering and now I'm raging. Come last or gave up at least 3 races then.
 
Fantastic first practice tonight. Eight racers turned in for times. To be honest, when I chose the tracks, I was a bit skeptical about Monaco, as it can throw up some incidents, but after tonights 4 lappers, Im glad I picked it. The whole idea of this season is that each race will be more demanding and harder than the last, and tonight showed that any great set ups from Silverstone can be thrown away. Keeping a cool head, and lots of control will be key here.

Onto tonights times.

It's been almost a week since SC4 began at Silverstone national. Here are the pictures I managed to take.

15 drivers line up on the grid. 3...2...1...GO


Hasslemoff might be taking the signs too literally. Or maybe it's just torque steer?


The beginning of things to come for Cobani and Weescotman


Rosen takes a knock and 3rd gear doesn't help


GC, Dowlin and Sholesey around Woodcote


Nomad, Ade and fuel going around Brooklands


Fuel overcooks Woodcote


GC trying to make a pass stick


Dowlin's last entry into luffield


Captain Gary pits first


Not much in the way of drama until Cobani takes the chequered flag

Another great practice last night, with 8 on track again. Some new times to add to the list, and some new PBs, with Capt Gary setting the pace, and nearly getting into the 53's. There were a few mistakes during the course of the evening, but these were mainly down to drivers pushing themselves too hard to get the perfect lap, and finding the armco instead. Some more runs tonight from 8.00pm

Cracking racing last night chaps. It took me a while to get into the groove but started to get there in the end.

Pretty sure I managed a 1.56.7 though Ade, perhaps about 3 races from the end?

I may have missed that replay, or my eye missed your time. It was getting on a bit when I viewed them last night. If I get a chance I will take a look before tonights practice.
 
Great practice session last night with 8 racers on the grid for 4 lap races on SH tyres. Capt Gary managed to hold onto the pace setter position, but PETROS put in a super fast first practice to jump ahead of Will. The laps for next weeks race have been set, and this race will depend on consistency over the course on the entire duration.

Now, next Friday may be a bit tricky for me to hold a practice session, as Mrs 3210 has an appointment with an MRI scanner at 6.30, and I dont know how long she will be in the tin tube. (and as its also Valentines day, I may be in the dog house if I open a lobby as soon as we are home, after shes spent time as a human torpedo.)

I am therefore looking for a volunteer to hold some practice for me next Friday.

Saturday is also GC Garys 500pp race, so I propose some laps after we have finished.

I will try to get on for some runs during the week, but as usual its a bit sketchy as to when I can get on. Probably Wednesday and Thurs, but I will confirm this in the week.
 
I'll have to run my practice thru the week, maybe get a few others on track to run with, won't be about for final practice as I have the grave yard shift this weekend coming.
 
Right then racers. I will be on for some midweek practice tomorrow and Thursday. Lobby will be open from 8.30pm on both nights, maybe earlier if I can get on. Friday practice will be held by GC Gary, as I most likely wont be around. Saturday practice will be held after Gary's 500pp event. Then Sunday is race day. Get ready for Monaco.
