Leaving

I've come to the decision that with immediate effect I will be leaving TORA.

There are many reasons for this decision. The first is that I simply don't have the time to race. Having to pull out of the TEC 12h was the clincher, shafted by work again. I work 60+ hours a week get one day and two evenings a week to myself and i barely see my fiancée at the moment.

I can't ignore the incident last night and the Fun Cup event preceding it. I'm still angry about the way my brother was treated in the aftermath of the Indianapolis race, and then with last nights incident on here that pushed me over the edge. With the limited time I do get to spend on here I shouldn't have to put up with morons spouting off like a certain individual was, and while its going back to feb / march it's not the first time I've been witness to or on the receiving end of childish behaviour.

Finally, I do find the level of general bitching on here hard to stand. I find it difficult to take this as seriously as some clearly do, which is probably down to twelve years of racing and having had real success, and reading / hearing about the sometimes horrendous way people treat others, act in general and post on here just makes me wonder.

To the guys running TORA, I salute every single one of you. You do a magnificent job balancing a life outside with putting on some epic series, and largely you don't get the recognition you deserve. There are many series out there that aren't a patch on TORA that cost real monies to do, so keep up the good work. You guys have got a great balance of competitive but enjoyable and fun racing, shame that the same cant be said of some of the members.

I wish you all happy racing, and remember, at the end of the day its only a game!!

Michael

PS. BG Twitchy can have my number, have messages Chucky regarding the swap

NOOOOOOOO But ont he otherhand im uiin the double digit club

Love to keep competing with you, but we still have private races for that

And you have your very sound reasons..

I hope you enjoy your new endouvoures, dont be shy to pop by and say hello from time to time, Peace out and race safe

Also mentioning here that Uniform92 will also be leaving TORA with immediate affect. His number will be put back up for availability.

I won't be leaving! So they'll at least be one third of the Groves brothers remaining!

Please don't leave Micheal, each of us love having you here, I understand pressure from real life can be tough, heck I went damn near inactive because of similar reasons, but don't just give up bud.

By all means take some time away, work and relationships are priority, but just take some time away, and pop back when you can, you never know, you may have a day or even a weekend off where you feel like doing some racing again.

I wish you all the best, but hope you stick around.

Take Care,
Chris.

that sucks Micheal,
hope to see you around

Don't be gay.

I wish you all the best, Michael! Hope to see you around outside of TORA. And if you need me to attempt to call out someone in private, I got your back.  

Micheal don't leave mate, the whole reason we are freinds is becuase of TORA, and all the cool races we have had on here, and else where.

I know at the end of the day you will do whats right for yourself & your family, I wish you the best of luck and dont be a stranger on facebook mate, It has been a plesure racing and talking to you

Take it easy mate,

James

 

You'll be back

If you dont have time to compete in TORA that's fair enough, but you probably still have time to be part of the forum .

best of luck, bud

I'm very sorry and i hope you can change your decision, maybe between some time.
I wish you the best of luck.

Why don't you take a step back from Hosting lobbies, Just enter the TEC events and see how it goes. Plenty of time off in between and then you're not walking away from a large slice of your life

Well gotta say seeing what I've seen today has reinforced my decision to quit. I'm absolutely astounded

May I ask what this is, I seem to have missed something. Can you PM me dude

PMed you Simon

I'm going to put my balls on the table here and guess that this is the decision to promote CarbonViper93 to a community steward.

Dude get your balls off the table it's unhygienic :-)

I've come to the decision that with immediate effect I will be leaving TORA.

then stop crying.
