Those were really challenging races! Thanks for coming, hope you liked it as much as i did. @amarynceos and @hobbsy battled it out, close win for @amarynceos!

Shame I couldn't get some bonus points for fastest lap ... tho @amarynceos would still have taken the overall win, by 1pt

Great having some classic GT racing, I do still feel like this game could have a lot of life left in it, so it's a real shame that the numbers are not what they used to be... it was probably a one off for me tonight, I might be able to make it to track next week so keep your eyes open for me.

Thanks again to all for racing, maybe next time I'll wave that yellow flag

Great to see you back @Sparkz_360, hope it wasn't too lonely up front. Welcome to Zero Cup @Baron Blitz Red, hope you liked the action! Exciting races, first turn at Daytona was outright scary in the Viper!

We had a little bonus race at Silverstone National on CS, compared to SH the car is more controllable if you push over the limits -- fascinating.

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

Thanks for having me along... was some great racing with some obviously good drivers! Going to need some more practice to keep up with the competition! Thank to all for the fun!

Cheers

You're welcome! Practice is what i need too. The Viper was a handful!

Next week the Zero Cup will be on vacation, but after that we'll do All Things British! And to make it more interesting i'll leave you spoilt for choice -- you can choose between the TVR Tamora and the Tuscan! They are pretty close performance-wise and in most TTs i know of they are comparable, so let's see which one will be more popular...

6 July 20:00 BST - TVR Tamora '02/TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00
Tires: Sports Hard

1. Silverstone National
2. London
3. Brands Hatch

See you there!

 

[tarnheld]

Zero Cup is back today! Grab some tea and scones and get ready for:

6 July 20:00 BST - TVR Tamora '02/TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00
Tires: Sports Hard

1. Silverstone National
2. London
3. Brands Hatch

You can choose between both TVR's today! I prefer the 'roadsterness' of the Tamora even if you can only drive with the top closed.

See you there! :tup:

 

[WestRoadZ]

I'll try to be there today but will have to leave early most likely

 

[WestRoadZ]

Hopefully the time converter is right and it's in an hour

Sorry for the double post

 

[tarnheld]

Hopefully the time converter is right and it's in an hour

Room is open in the Zero Cup lobby now! Race starts in half an hour. See you there!

Results:

Seems the Tamora has won the beauty contest, all but @Cu3e chose the convertible. Must be the weather...

Congrats @Baron Blitz Red for the overall win, it's all about consistency... 👍

I hope you enjoyed the races! I was of no use today, and left the final race after driving more off than on the road...
Sorry for the grid mishap in the last race, i hope it didn't cause too much inconvenience. And @Sparkz_360's and @Drex124's DCs in race 2 suck! Let's hope the network quirks were just temporary...

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

I had a blast! Thank you for having me along, and thanks to all for the close competition... was tense a few times in the races just to hold position. I found that the grip degraded race by race with Brands Hatch feeling like CH tires were fitted on instead of SH.

Still, tonnes of fun and I hope you all will let me back! It's great experience, and it seems the faster you people are, the faster I have to be, which just adds to my learning and experience factors. Again, thank you!

Cheers

 

[Drex124]

A fun car and the right people to race with is always appreciated.
That wasn't a DC in the second race BTW, I was needed else where and there's no good place to park in London

You're welcome! A challenging car for sure, lot's of torque to handle, puts a smile on your face if you can nail the corner exits just right!

Thanks for coming! Good to know it wasn't a DC, after the mass DCs and room recreation before the event start i thought the network would be really flaky. But the room capping of max. racers seemed to help.
