Zero Cup

GK doesnhelp '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?

Unfortunately, I don't think those monocles would have helped me see @amarynceos during the Nordschleife race. Was good to be able to catch a bit of late night action with you guys.

Nice win at Sierra @gkgamer
Nice win at Nord @amarynceos

Thanks @JockeP22 for making and sharing these race videos, feels great to relive the moment!

Dont' forget, today is F40 day:

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

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

If you have problems keeping the F40 on track, it's allowed and i recommend putting CS tires on front. This pulls the teeth of the beast at the expense of being a little slower around corners. Speaking of tires, just look at this video to see how perfectly reasonable it is to put on snow tires on a Ferrari:



PD, make it happen! :tup:

 

[WarriusZero]

Just brilliant.

 

[tarnheld]

Room is up in the lobby for practice, races start 20 minutes ...

 

[JockeP22]

It's such a beautiful car the F40, one of the finest automotive designs of all time.

Spa was the most enjoyable race for me. Perfect time progression setting by tarnheld and great action through Eau Rouge and down the Kemmel straight. And as always no contact and fair play. 👍

First venture into the zero cup room. Had to be the F40, hard enough to drive when you can tune it!

Really enjoyed it though. Shame I missed the first 2 races but had some truly epic battles with jocke and tarn. Great racing guys . I'm not often free on a Monday, but anytime I am, I'll look you up

 

[tarnheld]

Thanks all for coming! Great races, even with the low turnout -- the F40 is really a unique and thrilling experience in GT6, as it must be in real life:

Results

Congratulations to F40 ninja @Sparkz_360, triple crown finish with a final result equal to the Answer to the Ultimate Question about Life, the Universe and Everything! 👍

Next time we go to the future and will check out the electric torque beast:

25th April 20:00BST - Fisker Karma EcoSport '12

Track selection still pending, stay tuned for more! 👍

See you there!

 

[Sparkz_360]

Next car I recommend is another Vision GT car, the might VW SuperSport GTI Vision GT (convertible has the same specs I presume apart from getting the breeze in your face )

Pondering this one, you got me with the convertible part... 👍

Do I have to sign up on something here or is it just about showing up when the race lobby is on?

You're welcome! Take a look at the rule book, especially the Gentleman's Yellow Flag rule. Make sure you have a decent network connection, but there are no sign ups, just join the club room on Monday.

See you there!

BTW, next up car will be the

9th May 20:00BST - 2014 VW GTI Roadster Vision GT

 

[pretend racer]

hey I just found out about this series too, and I am able to race on mondays! I'm guessing this is no longer the zero (only) cup, and has morphed into more of a car of the week race series? is tuning allowed now? Either way, I'm in.
How exactly, do I find the club room to join it on monday?

 

[IfAndOr]

Hi there.
I expect that Tarnheld will reply to you at some point but to get you started the Monday meetings are held in the Zero Cup club room. ID 1007449

And it's still Zero tuning.

 

[tarnheld]

Thanks @IfAndOr, couldn't have said it better! It's zero tuning, zero practice needed (and in my case taken ). Welcome @pretend racer, make sure to look at the rule book, especially Gentleman's Yellow Flag rule. See you on Monday! 👍

Great! This sounds exactly what I was looking for. I found the club, and joined! I have read the rule book and GYF rule, I have a question - In room settings it says that mechanical damage is light, but visible damage is off, why is that?

 

[tarnheld]

I have a question - In room settings it says that mechanical damage is light, but visible damage is off, why is that?

That's because the rendering of the bumps make online racing a bit more unstable -- the damage has to be distributed to all racers. And the race pics look a bit better if the cars are unharmed. Light damage slows you down a bit if you hit something, but you don't have to pit. We do like clean racing though so try to not hit anyone, but in the heat of the battle a little paint can be traded here and there, but if you gained a position by hitting someone and slow him down you are expected to give the position back. Please check the OLR for further info. 👍

 

[Sparkz_360]

Looking forward to tonight's races! @pretend racer & @GDias welcome.

BTW @tarnheld, you're a legend for picking the mighty golf one question though. Can we use the coupe as well as the roadster because if I'm not mistaken I think they have the same specs. Just want to clarify.

See you all tonight!

Yes, i think we can have the choice between Roaster and Coupé. 👍 The specs look the same, and i guess they perform equal, but i'll check if they are comparable this week just to be sure.

See you tonight!

 

[IfAndOr]

Depends if it's raining or not. You don't want to get wet.

I like the VGTVW and I think they are both the same in performance - or very similar anyway.


Looking forward to the Karma. Surprisingly for me I've given it a try out and it handles quite well. It's going to be quiet though.

 

[tarnheld]

Room is up, hope you're ready for the sound of silence!

Fantastic races, thanks all for coming! Great handling and nothing but the sound of the wind (and screeching tires ) make the Karma a fun car!

 

[Sutsagrd]

Tarn. Ill try to join later if I can.
Busy with family at present.

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

First off, just wanted to say thanks to all for the great racing!

Secondly, I wanted to say sorry about the race at Ascari... I honestly lost all on screen info. No mirror, no lap times, no map, no HUD, no sector times, no lap count, no race line... NOTHING. It was quite possibly the most scary race I've ever done.

If there was a chance to call a GYF, I honestly didn't know. I've never experienced that before. To make matters worse, I went to the Seasonals afterwards, and still nothing! Is my disc screwed???

Again I apologise, and thank you all for a great day of racing!

Cheers

 

[IfAndOr]

It did handle pretty well for such a big and heavy car. 👍
I'd not practised with the tyre wear on though. 👎


Thanks Tarn. Much like the colour of my car, silence is indeed golden.


@Baron Blitz Red - I've had the HUD disappear before but it usually reappears afterwards. There is an option to switch the HUD off. Perhaps this has been activated somehow.

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

@IfAndOr , does that option switch EVERYTHING off??? Like I lost all of it, only thing on screen was track and scenery! I didn't even know what lap I was on lol.

I'll have to do some research on it... thanks for the suggestion!

Cheers

 

[IfAndOr]

does that option switch EVERYTHING off???

I've just tried it and yes it does. A completely clear screen - great for the interior view.

It's in the pause menu and it's called race info display. Might be worth switching it on and off. Or off and on as the case maybe.

Cool, thank you very much! Now just to figure out how I managed to turn it off after the race started... I certainly don't want that happening again!

Cheers

Are you sure you want to turn the HUD back on? You were going like a blitz in that race -- Sparks and Jocke were catching up in the end but you kept it together! 👍
