TORA Caterham Trophy - Rules, Regs & Build List

Motor racing as defined by TORA, is a non contact sport. It is understandable that on occasion, some contact may occur as a consequence of incidents caused by either party, like lag for example. Competitors with lag issues won’t be penalized, but will be asked to improve their connection for future participation in TORA’s events. If the issue is persistently hindering other competitor’s experiences, please perform a speed test on your connection via http://www.speedtest.net/ Once you have completed this, see the connection section via the link below

TORA expects every competitor who partakes in our championships and meeting to behave in an appropriate and respectable manner. Insulting comments or behaviour towards fellow competitors, race stewards, lobby hosts and staff is unacceptable and will be dealt with severely. Also, respectable on-track etiquette is expected of all competitors. This includes on-track battles, track limits, dirty driving etc.

CAR RULES

The vehicle of choice for this Spec Cup series will be the Caterham Superlight R500

Because the governing of tuning is virtually impossible on Project CARS, all competitors will be allowed to tune their vehicle if they wish to do so.


We ask that every competitor needs to be on Xbox live 25 minutes (at most) prior to the start of the race session, and be appearing online. Anyone who is not online, or not attempting to accept more than 3 game invites will not take part in either a session or the entire event.
Every competitor must post themselves as either “IN”, “Maybe” or “OUT” in the relevant Sign In thread in order to be eligible to take part in an event. This must be done by the deadline which will be 1 hour before the race meeting begins. If a connection issue is apparent, then please contact the race director or lobby hosts as soon as possible and they will do their upmost to ensure that you can connect to any of the qualifying lobbies.

FREE PRACTICE & QUALIFYING RULES:

Before the beginning of each quali session, there will be a 15 minute free practice so it'll give each competitor enough time to fine tune their cars & trial out the circuit.

Qualifying for each meeting will be approximately 15 minutes in length, but the actual session will be 10 minutes long. This is to provide the lobby hosts extra time to record all of the qualifying times so it’ll make our task easier of assembling you into the correct racing lobby.
Once the 10 minutes have elapsed, every competitor must park their vehicle at the first corner and remain still for the lobby host to record all of the lap times.
