Hope you liked the car as much as i do, i had tons of fun! Race 1 was at Cape Ring Inside, i thought it fits the car better than the more hilly Cape Ring South. Great battles with @Sparkz_360, we kept each other at pace. 👍 The pack stayed together for quite a while in all races. Thanks to you, fellow racers, you are what makes the Zero Cup fun!

Thanks @John Wells for the great pics, i made some too! 👍

The best races are the ones you don't expect to join.

Got a PM from @IfAndOr as I forgot you were racing tonight.
Had great fun racing john and Jocke at Red Bull Ring.
Poor Baron seemed to have a X-Bow that had a mind of its own throughout both races.

Brands was brilliant for the first 3-4 laps. First time I've ever led an online race but then I'm the most inconsistent driver going!!
And sure enough as soon as I thought I mustn't touch the grass it became magnetic and drew me in!

GC put the pressure on, took the lead and despite a small off and my retaking the lead, the grass was too welcoming and then I was 4th!

Hope you guys enjoyed ascari.
Thanks for hosting Tarn.

 

[IfAndOr]

Lots of smiles in the X-Bow. Such a fun car to drive when you get the hang of it.

It was all a blur really. Overtook a few cars a few cars overtook me, went flat out and went sidways at times. All great.
I even begun to like Ascari! The car suited it really well.

Cheers Tarn. 👍

 

[tarnheld]

Phantastic races yesterday! Ahh, the X-Bow was great, enjoyed the breeze as it plowed through the corners.
Intense battles with you all, especially dicing around with Jocke for the lead after the GYF at Ascari! :tup:
I quickly threw together some race pics for you to enjoy, results will follow:

Congrats to @CTR Driver, two wins and the overall crown! 👍 Again, great races and battles in a phantastic car, need to race that more often. I hope i can shoot more pics of the battles, meanwhile enjoy this background video of our next car, i'm sure Jay had a suitcase full of money ready when he did that video:

Worth watching the whole video if you're into vintage covettes, all are available in GT6!

 

[CTR Driver]

It's not often I get to see my name in lights.
So much so I sent my car for an emissions test. You can't be sure with those Audi engines
Thanks for having me along. It was a fun evening. If my work schedule allows it, I'll try to join you guys in future events 👍

Here is a paint job idea for the Stingray, not sure if the hood scoop is available in GT6 custom parts:

Not sure about the hood scoop either but I'll certainly be wearing the suit.


It's appropriate because Elvis did once say...

Hey @Cu3e, good to see you back! No racing tonight but next week, we're on a biweekly schedule now.

 

[Cu3e]

Ok, gotcha 👍

Good to be back

Is the next car decided already?

It's the one the nice young man in the oatmeal suit is sitting on 6 posts above -- the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Racer Concept '59!

Can I use Racing Exhaust on the Corvette? I like that sound of the Racing Exhaust. I would like to participate in there tonight. 👍

Sorry Harsk, we'll race next week on Monday, for the schedule you can usually look in post #1. And it is called Zero Cup on purpose, zero tuning allowed, zero practice needed.

It's alright Tarnheld. I would be busy today anyway, as my rally event has started.

Good to see you back

Thanks John, but I had no idea that you were racing in there a long time.

 

[tarnheld]

A quick test of the Stingray Racer revealed limiter problems on Apricot Hill and Roma so i have to make some track changes:

21 December 20:00 UTC - Chevrolet Corvette StingRay Racer Concept '59
Sport Hard

1. Eigernordwand Short Reverse
2. Streets of Willow
3. Laguna Seca

It is quite a handful on Sports Hard so expect thrilling races! :tup:

 

[tarnheld]

Hope you have your beige suits and stick-on sideburns ready, today it's Stingray time!

Sorry guys, but I won't appear in there every week.

But I will try to appear in these meetings 1 or 2 times a month at least. 👍

Scary car and hard to control but I had fun. Really don't like Willow but my some miracle got a second but well behind the amazingly fast Sparks!

Laguna was excellent fun and really close racing for the first few laps but then Sparks just romped off into the distance. I though If would catch me up as he got the fastest lap in but it was not to be...got 2nd again.

Here's some piccys.

John and I had a "wafer thin mint" battle round the 5th corner at Laguna

Sparks nearest then me and Tarn

John with IF and Bergel to either side with a recovering Tarn

Thanks for good races.👍

Merry Christmas and have a great holiday. See you next year...

Whew, intense and exciting races, the Ur-Stingray is a monster! Precise throttle control needed, going easy on the tires is really hard. Congratulation @Sparkz_360, great control and consistency brought you the overall win. 👍 Good to see you back @Cu3e, hope you liked it!

Merry Christmas to all Zero Cupsters, and a Happy New Year! I'll put new races up soon, see you all on 4th January!
