Manufacturers Super Cup 2020. This Wednesday October 21st.


Recommended Posts

I've done some additional laps on a couple of yet unfamiliar tracks and have to give everyone a word of caution.

I found out that it CAN rain on the Delirium track and it gets very slippery and understeery. 😬

And one would have though that an English manufacturer would put a roof on their car with their usual weather and all, but nooooo... 😒

Now I have a flood in my cockpit and am hoping it dries out by tonight.

Dewbauchee have called an ill attended press conference to announce they are partnering up with Xero Gas for the upcoming Manufacturers Super Cup. 2020

Pictured Dewbauhee attempt to hide their disappointment when they realise they have in fact still only got one driver.

 

We caught up with Dewbauchee Motorsports Director Bernard Smyth......

WEAZEL NEWS: So were you disappointed to find out @mulderwas driving for Lampadati and not Xero Gas?  He's gone on to join @RammsteinDUDEand @Mark Verstappenat what is widely considered to be the best driver line up so far.

BERNARD SMYTH: No, not really, I mean yes, obviously at first but if they want to go and drive for a second rate boat manufacturer whose raison d'etre seems to be giving their cars names no one knows how to pronounce then that's fine.  I mean, "Komoda".  How are you supposed to say that?  Is it like the old Amiga 500 games console or is it meant to be like a French toilet?  I mean, actually, one is a bit retro and the other one is full of sh*t so that sums up Lampadati quite well.

WN:  Well who do you consider to be your biggest rivals?  Benefactor?

BS:  What the 'well organised Germans'.  Gimme a break, last time they turned up with less cars than they had drivers.  You mark my words, I bet @Warriors-Tenwill have to borrow at least one car off @Paulieon the night because they forgot to pack the truck properly.

WN:  Ok, Ocelot then, they've got a full complement of drivers already, @Lann, @Protocawland @zmurko Surely you must be worried about them?

BS:  Nah, none of their drivers are British, we're going to push through Brexit before the event starts, they won't even get across the channel.

WN:  But surely you're British too?  Won't that effect you?

BS:  Nah, we're like the Royal Family, we've got a British name but that's it.  Everything is built overseas but somehow retaining the British build quality.  Take that GT Classic over there, if you listen carefully you can actually hear it rusting.

WN:  Grotti then.  there's a lot of hype about their line up.  @Joyrider1is so excited about joining the Italian team he joined the forum especially.

BS:  Oooooh, excited to join the big Italian team, where have we heard that before?  Alonso?  Vettel?  That worked out great for them didn't it.  Besides, you only need to ask @AlexHat29to crash and he does it for you.  

WN:  What about Annis?  @djw180signed up for them pretty quick.  You think he knows something you don't?

BS:  Well our plan for beating Annis is just to try and have more drivers than them and so far it's one each so we're moving in the right direction.

WN:  Who are you going to get to drive for you then?  @badingaaa? @Challenger001?

BS:  They're both great but they raced for Japan during the World Nations Cup a while back so we reckon they might be joining Annis because they're so in love with their Savestras.

WN:  So who are you going to get then?

BS:  Well,  there's a few names floating about @Aslad, @CatManDoza, @Realjaysee, @Eser1985, @Bkmoto28 but I think our best bet is to try and get @JuniorChubbout of semi retirement.  Maybe if we promise he doesn't have to talk to @SkyeDave, or anyone else for that matter it'll be alright.

WN: Ok, well thanks for your insight and good luck with the drivers line up.

BS: Kifflom, I mean erm, yeah, cheers, whatever.

 

Only one car?? You’re optimistic.

Team Lampadati offers a word of caution too, during some testing (which just involved us cruising around looking AMAZING) we came across a rogue security van driving around the casino track 🤔. We suspect they were just there to admire our beautiful cars.

Was it faster than your Komoda?

PM @Protocawlget rid of the van, they are onto us. 👀

 

On a public note, it looks like i will be on time this wednesday! Are we still some players short?

Hi @Lann  Nico Melo said in a message a while back that he hopes to attend I'll message him today. and @Noelly says he is up for it butneither have confirmed a team yet.  That would give us 6 teams with three drivers which is great.  I'll message them 

The playlist does accommodate more though so if anyone else does want to come along they're more than welcome.  I just set 3 slots per team as a target so we didn't end up with numbers that were too misbalanced.

You got anyone else in mind?

Hey @Noelly There's still a spot with Grotti and one with Benefactor.  If those spots fill up then we will open it up to teams having a fourth driver.

Put me down for Benefactor then 👍

Are we starting at 8 tonight or 8:30pm? Doesn’t particularly make any difference to me, I just don’t want to be late 😂

We're aiming to be ready to start the playlist around 2030pm UK time but a lobby will be up 20-30 minutes beforehand to try and get everyone together apart from a few latecomers.

Wonderful. I’ll be on around 8 then all being well. 

Yuuup same here, good your asked to check mate! 😃

Team Benefactor did not find the need for any practice or track exploring, but we have to say that we are very grateful to the other teams that reported crystal clear about their track findings. By abandoning the true german spirit of 'Deutsche gründlichkeit' we may have shot ourselves in the foot but luckily we can rely on many horsepowers! Or pferdestärken to be gründlich 😃  

 

And a warm welcome from Team Benefactor to 

@Noelly

Older Ocelot drivers are getting tired and starting to make silly mistakes. Or perhaps it was all the flies in their eyes preventing them to see properly. Because Ocelot forgot to put a roof on!! 😒

  • Haha 3

Definitely not the flies, but tiredness. Massive cockup by an older Ocelot driver on the Cocktease, taking 2 other drivers with him. Ocelot sends their sincere apologies.

  • Haha 3

Ocelot flagship car at least manages to save some grace for them on the last 2 tracks, but still no wins.

@SkyeDave Cheers for the excellent event and thanks to everyone for some nice racing too.
