at the moment looks like 2 lobbies so looks like live timing is going to be required

When I raced Superkarts, if we passed a full grid of 40 karts and track time permitted, after qualifying the entry was split into three, A, B and C. Each group would race against the other group once, so AvB, BvC, CvA. The advantage of this is only needing a second lobby for qualifying and live timing isn't a necessity, however it would obviously mean having to kick a few drivers out after race 1, inviting the next lot and then repeating after race two. At least then everyone would race everyone and you wouldn't be in a position of being punished for a problem in qualifying if they run as per GT with A (1-16) and B (17-32) races

It is only a suggestion so feel free to ignore, just thought I'd put it to you guys :-)

How would you set the grid for each race? Plus if Q does set it right then there wouldbe good battles in race 1 and race 2 but inrace 3 there will be a spilt. and points wise B lobby has the better optiong. A would have a battle but not too hard agaisnt B then wipe the floor with C, C would have a battle agaisnt B just staying with them and then get dominated by A.

by **CQR Rogue** Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 21:33

Really enjoyed these tonight Smile

by **Richy59** Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 21:37

Good fun, but I think Tsukuba tends to make racing start to spread out a bit as its quite a flowing track.

by TheAngryPudding Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 21:39

Yeah seemed that way in Lobby B. Great battle for the lead in R2 between Jam and Chuckie, for third between Slider, me and Bandit and for pretty much the rest between the others. Should be fun doing a commentary on it

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 21:40

Had a great time in both races, chasing slider and trying to pass him all race 1 and race 2 just staying inline with Jam and done a 1.07.885 I think it was, quickest guy in race 2 Very Happy

by TheAngryPudding Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 21:42

Yup great lap mate, glad I managed to get my times down to 1:08.1 regular clean (1:07.998 dirty) I was expecting to be battling for the wooden spoon :-)

by Wooflers Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 21:54

Every calendar has a crappy track. This was probably it Very Happy

Many thanks to everyone who took part, more than the last two events put together!!

Also special thanks to Richy and Jamie for hosting their respective lobbies!

by **Richy59** Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 21:56

Would love to make the next rounds, but I'll be away for the next 3 Wednesdays Sad

If we do this again I have a few build suggestions that I just tried out Wink

by Slider S15 Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 22:10

Great racing by everybody tonight. Had some great battles tonight with Chucky and mjg36 but can't help but feel a little disappointed in myself.

Spent the night going backwards which is quite unlike me. Felt I was driving well but just didn't seem to have the pace... Neutral

by JAM FULLMAN Wed 24 Apr 2013 - 23:09

Well I certainly never expected to win my first race with TORA!, yes i know it was the B class lobby but it felt great!!.. Thanks to all stewards,hosts,TORA and other racers,... My sponsors, my wife for supporting me,my manager...lol, making the most of this while it lasts!! managed a clean 1.07.9something in the first race on the last lap. Hope to Qualify better next time!.Thanks again guys, see you next week.
