Race over folks. Was fun.

by galeforce97 Sat 23 Apr 2016 - 20:45

well that's it. It's official the race is finished and results are based off of the first 2 stints

by jonnotheone Sat 23 Apr 2016 - 20:45

rather than just killing off the race could it not be postpone to a later date and just continue the tec calender until yuou find somewhere for Watkins to fit in bit crap if all those that tuned tested and painted there cars and it turns out it was for nothing i say postpone for a later date

Not the way any of us would have wanted it to end, but that's the way she goes I guess.

by WR Watcher Sat 23 Apr 2016 - 20:48

Yeah. I had some good fights with you Shooter in Stint 1 Cheers

At least our XBM Pro Team took 1st place in GT

That was a great fight between you two. It got some air time on stream.

Gutted. Just Gutted. Car was edging closer to the top 3 after that.

Annoying to run for 1hr45 and it not be counted, yes it needs to be fair to all so basing off stint 2 is the way to go.

I hope thats all from Watkins Glen and this round and we can start our prep for Lemans!

The calendar itself is tight at 6 weeks between rounds, when you consider we like to give teams a month to prepare for these events. Had there not been a conflict with another site next week, we may have been able to do that. But the only time on the calendar we may have been able to push this event back to... maybe Christmas Day?

Consider XBL servers the main culprit for the unfortunate turn of events.

Rethinking whether to even bother racing at Le Mans. Of all the choices that could be made, that was far and away the worst. Bob Knight chair-throwing bad.

Spent far too much time focusing on this event to get absolutely nothing out of it. It's one thing to drive poorly and deal with that result, which is fine and can happen to anyone, but to never have a chance at all? Oh no, that won't do at all.

I think someone is taking this a little seriously. we have all been affected, some other drivers havent had a chance to drive today either, not just yourself. These things happen and it is beyond the the organisers control. Feel free to contact Xbox Live Support and complain. As explained above, a re-run is most likely not possible, especially today.

+1

With this and the TURN VEC theres just no time. Its sad but its the first time in the 4 years ive raced on TORA that a race has had to be red flagged.

Well done to all who raced and those who didnt get chance, the race was runnin real well until the issues began. Roll on Le Mans
