The Sunday Cup...Lotus Club GT...Open

[GTP_ADE]

Nice 👍

For a moment there I thought the seat was a prize too!

Ha ha, not likely. My Evora seat made a good backdrop for the pics though.

Then maybe you should put an asterisk like they do in ads when something isn't included

Well done Ade this series looks amazing

No worries for the classic spotter mags

Enjoy your racing !!!!!!!!

Hello. Yes you can. There are positions available for the first 2 races. Just let me know your car/wheel colours and racing number. All the details are on the first page. I will send you a FR at CORE GT tonight.👍

Say Ade, whats the tag on one of those "sorted out" evora seats like yours? It surely would be a brilliant upgrade for me.

Unfortunately they dont come along very often. I got mine out of a skip at work, and all thats wrong with it is a slight scuff on the rh side bolster which I managed to cover up with some polish. I wont tell you how much it cost me "cough" 25 "cough" quid.
Its a good choice of seat, as they seem to be using it on some of the rigs for the US GT Academy finals.

...I would like to say a very extra special special thank you to GTP_JOYLORD for getting and sending me the Goodwood and 24 hour race technology programmes and magazines, and to itsginge for the Classic Team Lotus booklets. ...

That's fantastic guys! 👍

 

[GTP_ADE]

That's fantastic guys! 👍

It is, the prizes are awesome. As Lotus were the featured marque at this years Goodwood Festival of speed, it is a very fitting champions prize.

Dont forget, tonight is the last chance to get some competitive practice before tomorrows first race of season 2. From 8.00pm I will open a lounge for some short practice races. Cobrius has asked if he can join us, so lets see if we can persuade him to take one of the reserve spots in the race tomorrow.

It is, the prizes are awesome.

👍👍👍, very much appreciated for your time and effort in this series to all who is involved. Look forward to some fun races.

~GT Academy 2012 Round 8-5: 1:31.720~
~3rd fastest in UK with DS3~
~66th fastest in UK overall~

With those stats you wont have to worry about pit strategy.

 

[GTP_ADE]

ok racers, now going to open the practice room. I have 1 hour of practice, as I am watching the boxing, Haye vs Chisora, and have friends coming to watch.

 

[cobrius]

Alright, I've given up my iRacing career(too boring with so few cars and tracks, and a lot of dirty racers because it's random like public PSN-lobbys). So if I'm not taking anyones place it would be nice to do SC S2.

 

[Third Reign]

Experience says that even if a full grid is possible with signups, come race day spots are always open. I highly doubt that there will be "too many".

You are in 👍👍👍, I thought you would

 

[Goodwolf]

Nice practice tonight gentleman. It will be very close as S1 was. Who makes less mistakes or rather deals with them better, because they will happen as practice showed, will be on the podium.

My so called 'sneaky' overtake on ade

(apologies for the poor quality - I just used my phone and only had it set to record in 720. I just added the music as I didn't have the volume up that high and my phone didn't capture the engine sounds as loudly as I'd have liked - you can change the quality up to 720 from the cog, but you knew that! )

 

[GTP_ADE]

OK gentlemen, this is the night we have been waiting 9 weeks for. The opening race of The Sunday Cup S2. Ritchyboy has had to pull out of the series, but there is also the welcome return of Cobrius, so numbers should be good.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Just a reminder of tonights timetable, and the lobby rules.

 

[Dowlin39]

Terribly sorry Ade, I wont make tonights Season opener. I got ropes into having to work late tonight so I doubt I'll be home for the end if the race, nevermind the start.

No worries mate, we will miss you. Just means you will be playing catch up from race 2.

One down..no offence Dowlin but I'm slow I was only doing times of 1:33 and the guys were doing 1:31 I don't know were to find time. We'll, we will see how the race goes.

Cheers for compliment 👍.

But out of about 15 laps of practice races last night, I had two big offs and lots of minor mistakes, so it might be down to mistakes made tonight .

You forgot Cobani.
I think everyone is going to be fast though, and i think there will be quite a few different winners.
