The Sunday Cup...Lotus Club GT...Open

[Dowlin39]

Cheers Cobani! (Amon Amarth are one of my favourite bands!)

I second this!

EDIT: http://ie.ign.com/articles/2013/01/24/logitech-to-discontinue-console-gaming-products-harmony-remotes
Just seen this on IGN, looks like a G27 is the best we will be getting from Logitech

 

[OmniusGT]

Prehaps if they had released a new wheel they wouldn't have been in this mess???

Perhaps indeed Omnius it better mean that the G27 will go down in price to like a fiver because that's the only way I'll be able to get one.

Also in case some of you metalheads were wondering, it was Trivium at the start of the video and Metallica at the end. Just thought I'd throw that out there

We knew that, but Swedish Death Metal is the way forward for the CORE

Looking forward to some more practice at Grand Valley tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully I can get close to the times I set earlier in the week.

If anyone is wandering where to place the ballast on their car, the real Evora S comes with 39% / 61% weight distribution. In GT settings the ballast is positioned at 17 to the rear to achieve this.

Interesting tidbit with the ballast 👍, I went the other way. Suppose that's a rookie error lol. I may have to experiment with this new information.

Yeah! Hobbit band

 

[GTP_ADE]

Good little practice tonight, although not as busy as the last 2 weeks. I was joined by GC255 and we ran a couple of races on the medium. I managed a 2:03.168 in free run, before the races, but could only get an 03.361 in the race. We were then joined by Capt_D and Joylord, and ran a couple of races on the medium tyre, before one last run on the hard. New PBs were set for GC255 and myself, (new times are in blue text). GTP_Joylord will be joining the reserve drivers table. More practice tomorrow gents.

Final Sunday practice before next Sunday's race #1 of season 3. Lobby will be open at 8.00pm as usual. It seems so long ago now that the S3 specs and dates were revealed, but we are nearly there now, and hopefully all this practice will pay off for the whole season.

 

[Cobani]

Curious for the times ...

 

[GTP_ADE]

8 racers for this final Sunday practice, and the times are still coming down. New PB's set tonight are in green text, and there were a few. The racing was very close. It was good to see Happysylvia join us for this session. Next weekend the fun starts for real gents. Thanks to you all for taking the time to practice and learn the car. I am sure it will make the racing over the next 15 weeks that much more rewarding. Sunday Cuppers, next week it begins.

[Petros]

Hi all

I am really sorry guys but sometime life can be changed in a second.
I will keep my eyes on thread to watch and enjoy in report and pictures of each race.
I wish you all good luck and most important to have fun driveing this awsome car.

[Goodwolf]

I'm sorry to hear that Petros. I really hope you will find time to join us in some of the races or during practice time. Someone has to show us how it's done properly.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Ok racers, the grid for this Sundays first race has been tweaked. With Petros not being able to compete, GC255 will take his grid place for race#1. We are on the count down to S3 now guys, and its looking like a full grid. If anyone else cant make the race, please let me know as soon as possible so I can allocate reserve positions. Thank you.👍👍👍👍

... Over a year ago a single thought became an idea to let others enjoy the cheer pleasure of driving Lotus cars ...
... Now the Sunday Cup has become a well respected racing series with nearly 80.000 views ...
... And season 3 is just about to take the evolution to a whole new level ...

But first a short recap of how the fun, heartbreak, and love all started. 👍

Sunday Cup: Season 1 highlights in pictures.

... A fantastic first season saw the championship battle go down to the wire ...
... Points were hard-fought all throughout the midfield ...
... But foremost the level of driving, respect shown and all out fun was second to none ...

A recap of season 2 is just around the corner ...

Fantastic nostalgia in the run up to Sundays race Cobani. Cant wait for the S2 recap.

Thanks Cobani! For me these pictures tell what Sunday Cup is all about. Close racing and look how drivers give each other space. Thank you all. 👍
Respect!


Of course this one, but with number 12 already in front, is on every wallpaper, and soon I'll have it framed.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Just went for a few laps in Rosen's lobby after seeing it open for practice. He was in there, although I think he was away from his PS3 as he didnt join me on the track. Managed a new PB of 2:02.928. Just a shame this doesn't count towards the practice times, as this would put me third on the table for the medium tyre. There will be the opportunity though, as there will be one last practice session on the eve of this weekends race. Saturday at 8.00pm is the last chance to shave a few more tenths off before Sunday's 1st race of S3.

Oh, sorry but Mrs Rosen came home.

 

[Cobani]

... With all the positive feedback on her maiden year ...
... The Sunday Cup matured to become better, faster and even more exciting ...
... With drivers from different nations gunning for glory, some would rise where others would fall ...

Sunday Cup: Season 2 highlights in pictures.

... With our group of gentlemen racers tighter then ever ...
... Exposure exploded with more and more drivers acknowledging the high level of competitiveness ...
... But above all, sharing the love of driving Lotus cars ...

As our series has evolved, so have we and I am honored to be part of this special group of people.
Season 1 & 2 will be hard to match for me, but I will defend my title with pride.
I may be overtaking this year, but for all who are dreaming of this ...don't you dare scratch my gorgeous Evora!
