(Completed) (PC) Sunday Cup

After the trauma of last night's Mamba event, I can't bring myself to play GTA again today. Sorry Ganjalo

This was one of the most fun events but honestly only because of the crashes
okay listen

-Gets 8.th in qualifying, personal best in any event, beating even some fast guys
-In the following races, this happened:
1. get hit by someone
2. wait as everyone crashes into you while you either wait still or try to recover
-Somehow get almost last in the actual races

HOW DOES ONE GET FROM 8.TH TO ALMOST LAST

Anyway it was only this fun cuz of the crashes tho, some of them were epic
Also st0cking is it just me or do we always seem to battle atleast once in every sunday cup?

I think you should stick to it to improve and get better and have fun with the others. The simple fact that you want to bail out because you think you create issues is a sign you should stick!

Hey, Ganjalo , finally I'm back, sign me as a reserve driver please.

Sadly I couldn't be there, Ganjalo. I probably would have sucked at racing anyway after not playing GTA for 2 weeks

Intense racing across the whole field in yesterday's Vespucci Beach Cup!

Leaving with the gold medal and a $100,000 cash prize, #096 arken (Jester RC) proved he was worthy of his Grotti F1 Champion title. Certainly a disappointing race for #023 lewjen (smithyonetwelve) who, after a flawless run in his Jester RC (first in all trials), finishes in second. Last but not least, driver #990 fab. ICEMAN secures a bronze medal and climbs to the first step of the podium, tied with #017 @novesori  who had a difficult race and finished 11th.

The Jester RC was favored by most of the racers, chosen by 18 drivers out of 27, and rightly so it seems with the fastest lap time around the track, a 00:52.093 by driver #023, lewjen (smithyonetwelve) . The Massacro RC was not to be underestimated with a best lap time of 00:52.871 with #321 Madderose behind the wheel.

Thank you guys! That was good fun.

Of course I have quite a few things to tell but I'll try and keep it somewhat short. First and foremost, and I'm saying this every Cup, thank you guys for showing patience and respect, you are a great group of players. I apologise for the minor issues here and there, mostly the timing of the event and some rough edges on the track. I'm doing good progress and every Cup is smoother than the previous one, maybe one day I'll have a flash of genius and create the perfect track and manage to stick to my 2 hours schedule! Yesterday was a bit special of course because of the Press-On-Regardless Rally that got quite out of hands (organisation proved to be difficult). Thanks a lot to FriendlyBaron and redlaserbm for helping me out without me even asking for it, that was really helpful. I'm definitely looking for an assistant for the next Cup. Of course, it's better if you have boobs but hey, I'll take everything. :p

Another point I'd like to address and that was raised by Daleks (@darkalex45) and tonysoprano1985 , concerning the... skill gap? we could say. The Cup is by definition a competitive event. Yes, we're not all tailored to fight against champions like arken, yes, there will be issues in the pack. But I don't see any event where there are no issues (don't make me link SATCC footage :p), and I think it's a very good thing that the Cup has a wide range of participants. I'm not the fastest guy myself (my best lap was a low 53, average), but I shared some cool racing moments with a lot of respect, and with a lot of different players. Everyone can have fun at their own level, I want the results as a proof, everyone is between the 52s and the 55s. We need everyone to have good races! Of course at the end of the day it's all about having fun so, do what you enjoy. :) I'm very open to discuss if you have things to share, be it here or in private message.

Again thank you everyone, and see you next month!

Tagging everyone

btw i'll update the OP later

I think the track was fine and i had overtakes on pretty much every corner. Last corner was a bit tough to overtake because you didn't want to bump anyone, or yourself, into the sticky outside barrier.
I think it's a sundaycup trademarks that the tracks are somewhat simple and beginner-friendly, i like it that way.
I don't miss the bumps. at all.
I do prefer a wider choice of cars as well though (and with no liveries).
