This is the kind of stuff I like to see in VCRC events, small compact sports cars with personality like Alfa Romeos instead of cars that try to kill you like the Stratos. :scared:

I unfortunately can't make the date, but good luck. 👍

I'm a big fan of these cars, yes. :)
Sorry you can't make the event... I urge you to get involved in planning these things in the club forum! That way, you'll be in on the scheduling. :)
I'd happily do 2 with another schedule, were there those interested. Alas.

The Stratos, of course, is in a world unto its own. :lol:
We're doing it in the other Torneo Italiano... but just 1 lap. (That was no accident. lol)
 
I'm liking the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale '63 more & more!

It's very well suited to the Italian Job track. 👍
 
Just to say...If anyone needs any of these cars I have spares of them all...free to good homes.

Go on then. Tentative from me. Zorrin/DitQuois

Edit: I will not be there on time, possibly. Scheduled power outage on Wednesday from 730 till 1430, may be less, may be more. You never know with Hydro Quebec!

i don't have 3 cars, The 10 Mill car and these 2 Autobianchi A112 Abarth '79 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale '63
 
I'm sure we can fix you up with the Autobianchi & Special.
Both me & jackargent have spares of those. Will let you know as soon as I can send.

As for the TZ2, @ 10mil cr.
I recommend doing seasonal events, as you can rack up credits pretty quickly with those. 👍
 
Welcome! :D

And I just have to say it again... if you haven't yet driven the Sprint Special 63, you've been missing out! I have come to really really really like this car! :)
 
I can make this one :) Sadly not the other which looks good, Im on holiday :(

But sign me up for this please 👍

I'm in the VCRC lounge having a bit of practice for the next hour or so...feel free to join me.
 
@ dmihaylov: Which cars do you need?
Please let us know, and we may be able to help.
The Alfa Zagato, of course, it's not possible to gift. But I think we can help with all the others. 👍

The online service of Gran Turismo 5 will undergo maintenance during the following hours:

Finish: 04/04/2012 03:00 EDT

*Please note that the exact time of the maintenance may slightly vary.

Hrm. It is scheduled to end an hour after our scheduled start.
2:00pm EDT

Suggestions?

We can just go with let's start as soon as all can get signed on... Perhaps it will only be delayed a bit. Perhaps an hour, though. :( :(

Or we can move to Thursday. ?

Opinions, availability?
 
Heading out for spring break, but I'll be sure to check this out later - I love the small sportscars, pre-1980 or so. Stylin' and fun!

Good luck with the races.
 
@ dragon-jake - welcome! And be sure to send FR to PSN: VCRC 👍

@ Handlebar - sorry you can't make this one, but welcome anyway! Invitation to VCRC club forum sent. 👍 We race lots of cars like these in a variety of ways. :D
