I just did a search for Midgets in the bedroom and got completely different results!

Such as this?

Daihatsu Midget II D(emonic)
Streets of Willow

I'm ready.

 

[tarnheld]

Room is up, if you dare to enter...

Great races! Seems the sacrifice to the network demons worked. I'll write a guide for you later, hardest part is get rid of all the blood on the walls...

 

[IfAndOr]

A little delayed, but the Midgets were great fun. You just had to keep the momentum going.
(Nitro and strong slipstream next. )


Cheers again Tarn.

You don't need a fast car to have tight races, great battles and close finishes, hope you enjoyed the mystery of the Midget as much as me.

Next time on 14 March we will race the

Alpine Vision Gran Turismo

on Sport Hards, i haven't decided on the tracks so feel free to suggest your favorite choice. 👍

7th, 7th and 7th. Final position: 7th. I like it. : )

Imagine what would have happened when someone finished triple sixth...

Alpine Vision Gran Turismo on Sport Hards.

I remember we raced the Alpine VGT in the last event of the ⓒⓞⓜⓕⓞⓡⓣ ⓒⓛⓤⓑ.
Great car with a cool interior camera view.
I know that's Dusty on the left in the dark VGT but I've
forgotten who else was in the race.

feel free to suggest your favorite choice. 👍

Seeing as I'm the first to suggest I'd be honored if you wanted to try my Forested Temple circuit.
It might be too narrow (7m), but I think it could work. I'll let you decide.

I originally thought of using no user tracks, as i'd have to create a room for each of the races. I tried the Forested Temple Ciruit and it's very exciting for a single racer, but too narrow for a longer race (especially with the deadly side flaps of the Alpine) so the Zero Cup sanctioning body decided it's too dangerous to go there.

So i was able to book with these three locations:

14th March 20:00UTC - Alpine Vision Gran Turismo
Tires: Sport Hard

1. Autodromo Nazionale Monza
2. Mount Panorama
3. Suzuka Circuit 2014

Hope you like it, see you on Monday!

 

[JockeP22]

The Zero Cup sanctioning body decided it's too dangerous to go there.

I agree. And your decision has turned out to be a blessing in disguise anyway. All staff at the Forested Temple has come down with food poisoning. We wouldn't even be able to host a bicycle race at the moment not to mention a car race.

We suspect the culprit might be the oysters and shrimps that was served yesterday at the track.

Open lobby?

Open lobby?

tarnheld is not online so I guess something has happened.

 

[tarnheld]

I'm awfully sorry guys but i just arrived at home -- unexpected woes came up at work. Shall we start the races in half an hour or postpone until next week?

 

[Sparkz_360]

Start in half an hour. I really want to race.

 

[JockeP22]

I'm still here, tarn.

 

[tarnheld]

Will get online asap...

 

[tarnheld]

Room is up!

A few (dry) Alpine shots...

The rain race at Mount Panorama was really hard, congrats to rain master @Sutsagrd for the win! Local alien @Sparkz_360 is overall Zero Cup champion again, well done! Thanks all for coming even with the delay caused by me. 👍

Big thanks for the video @JockeP22, Benny Hill theme fits nicely to the hilarious driving. Here is a Benny Hill tip what you can do in the rain. It's in swedish so i don't understand a word:

Spoiler: Wås yøu kånn dø in di reining

The Benny Hill theme was the only thing I could think of when we all raced at 300km/h in the rain
and everybody took turns going off track and crashing into the walls.
I think my favorite moments are 1:53 and 4:45. Makes me laugh every time.

Here is the inescapable mouthwatering video:

[amarynceos]

And, I believe Europe has now also gone onto Daylight Stupidity Saving Time as well, so it should be back to normal Zero cup time for us in the New World.

 

[tarnheld]

Room is up in the club lobby! Fun races, tight battles!

Why do i always forget the

Tricky car, changes swiftly from under- to oversteer, kudos to @gkgamer to the great control in the rain race, and being a real gentleman and drop back from pole in the Nürburgring race! I'd buy you a pack of these:

Thanks to all for coming, Big Fun!

I sense a need of more Ferrari, so here is the next event:

Monday 11th April 20:00BST - Ferrari F40 '92
Tires: Sports Hard

1. Silverstone National
2. Apricot Hill
3. Spa Francorchamps

I'd have done 4 snow tracks, because that's what the F40 was made for IMHO but PD wouldn't let me.

See you there!

 

[IfAndOr]

GK doesn't need any optical aids for racing at the Nürburgring, or indeed it seems in the rain.



Unlubricated!? Wouldn't a lubricated monocle fall out continuously?
