World Lupo Cup Challenge

[Carbonox]

Guess the slower cars really are more popular among GTP'ers than those quick race cars

 

[Canudigthis]

What the ......

hey Homes, didn't expect so much interest. WOW

Two rooms for sure.

Just a request regarding the visible race line, I think we should have it on as an option, its makes the racing better. 2 / 3 / 4 cars racing into a turn allows the drivers to pick their braking points and in turn the racing become cleaner and real.

Spot on old chap.... couldn't agree more. Without it there will definitely be more incidents.

It definitely makes for cleaner, more fun and realistic racing..... cause it's easier. Mistakes aren't punished as harshly. But there is always a place for real race cars! Driving just becomes way more precise.

Well if you've seen anything, I blow arse with faster cars, that's why I have moved on to slower rides

OT: I'm driving in 5 different series in the next 5 days. Is this normal?

Normal is overrated. If I didn't have to work I would join you

 

[GaMeKoP]

This is an awesome event 👍 still thinking if i should join or not as SA time this will end late for me

 

[Green]

hey is their a pre season race tonight or is any one doing a practice session ?

 

[Canudigthis]

We normally practice unofficially on a Monday or Wednesday but I'm sure the boys will mess around a bit after the last race of the Rising Sun tonight. Probably around 21h30GMT

 

[SymP]

[SymP]

[neljack]

As 4 of them are ones I race in, yes.

 

[Litchi]

Hi here!
Is there any room open by one of you for training?

 

[neljack]

Ill probably be doing some practice at about 10PM British time, so if you wanna add me please feel free to do so.


(Im not actually sure if ill be able to make it next Thursday though, looks 50/50)

 

[Driver 101]

Hey Carb.....looks like you've brought your whole gang along for the ride. Good Stuff.

Don't need to add you (and my friendlist is full). Just open a public room and write here the number of this one 👍

[Aqua F1]

Eiger Nordwand will be an epic race because the pitlane is so long that people will try 1 stop it and struggle with low tyre wear towards the end.

 

[Canudigthis]

It will be interesting to see which is faster...... 1 stop or 2. The pitstop windows is a cool ideas, makes it quite exciting!

 

[neljack]

Only just noticed its the 5 best out of 6 results are taken, so possibly missing next Thursday might not be so bad

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Thanks for the invite i'm in, I don't mind who my team mate is.

 

[bonobo4]

Thanks for the invite, will need to do some testing with tuning set-ups.

 

[Aqua F1]

I dunno about you guys but for Rome I personally prefer reverse.

 

[Canudigthis]

We were messing around with the Lupos last night and I personally think it would be better to run with the slipstreaming on 'weak'. With it on strong it absolutely impossible to break anyone's tow and it makes the racing way to desperate!!!! Bumper car mania!! Lol. The racing will be much more realistic with it set to weak Homes

I totally agree with you 👍

 

[Canudigthis]

There is no real driver skill just getting towed around by a faster guy infront. The guy in front could be 1 second a lap faster and still won't be able to break the tow. Not realistic at all. The weak setting is very realistic.... and that's what we are all looking for

 

[worduphomes]

OK, I will change it to weak slipstreaming and also allow racing line

 

[Canudigthis]

Yay..... thanks Homes!

 

[worduphomes]

... Wow, this is getting popular! 26 entries so far!!!
OK, there will now be 2 parralel series'
> One hosted by me (worduphomes)
> The 2nd hosted by willfred_1
> Possible 3rd, hosted by ???

Then the top drivers from each series will get moved into a 'Champions-league' repeat of the series and the lower placed drivers get to drive in their own 'Challenge-league' Cup repeat series...

We will sort out who goes into which league in the next few days.
Please let me know your preffered team-mates and team names (or I will assign you a terrible team name LOL)
