My Cup is well slow

[poundrick]

Just a quick one, have any other cup owners noticed how slow their cups are when full of passengers, I raced a CTR the other night with four people in my car and got toasted, yet when on my own I can take most cars on and compete and win.

There was at least 60 stone in the car though.

and extra 3 people in the car could mean around 225kg extra weight. If 89kg off the std weight is meant to make the Cup so much quicker, its hardly suprising that 225kg if going to make it a feck of a lot slower!

60 stone = 381kg

That makes your Cup (that depends on its 89kg weight loss for its performance) weigh about 1400kg!! Id imagine you would have some trouble with performance

Maybe in future you should leave CTRs alone unless you are on your own, otherwise the drivers of those cars will post messages on their websites saying that they have toasted a Cup!
