TORA Spec Cup Season 3: Round 4 - Imola - 24th August 8pm BST

Sweet another week to practice

Damn! Mine just started working.

Anyone else loose game data after this [Censored] tonight?

Didn't try it yet.

Yea mate I lost a few things strangely but what's really fooked me right off is that last nights Xbox glitch wasn't just isolated to ProjectCARS, if anyone creates liveries on Forza then I advise you to check to insure you still have all your library of liveries and vinyls you have created as I noticed this morning that at least half of my vinyl library has gone as has several liveries which I had created and saved and there's no chance of these being restored as I've tried multiple attempts. So yea guys go check your saved artwork is still there and fingers crossed.

I hadn't played FORZA that evening so I suppose they spared me. At least I didn't notice anything yet.

*IT-Support mentality kicks in* Did you try deleting only your local save game and redownloading it when starting the game?

FYI: Live Timing was reset last Saturday, so please make sure that you are signed in for this week ^^.

It was reset last Saturday...except I oversaw that it was still on round 5 after the reset and it was fixed in the meantime, leaving me with the thought that it was alright in the first place ^^

However, just make sure that you are signed up

Dipped into the 59s tonight really don't think I'll hit in qualifying had ran to many laps and car was light on fuel (30ltr left after 8 laps)

Well done dino on the win After 1st safety car fiasco was going to be a good fight with nutter after making a good gap to 3rd only to be stuffed by another safety car After that restart got taken out by someone lagging dropped to last. So happy to make it back to second but night could have been a lot better

Thank you Alan, it's the result of an aggressive strategy (4 laps to go my tires were completely worn out) and your bad luck.
I would rather fight with you and, you're right, night could have been a lot better.
It must be said: yesterday the racing standard was not at the highest levels.

I think three safety car periods speak for themselves

Regarding this: When we are about to restart after a safety car period please keep the chatter down as much as possible. And if I hear somebody call out "GO GO GO" who is NOT the race leader once again, this person is going to have a hard time with me and possibly everyone else who gets involved in the clusterf*ck caused by that.


Congrats, Dino, on the win.
And regardless of that pure chaos we had yesterday, I hope to see you all next week at Hockenheim...which is going to be my home game.

Did u run the same tires the whole race ? Tbf u were leading out of turn 1 on merit before first restart

I think safety cars restarts should just be go from last corner would save bunching up on the start
straight   As going forward I know hockenheim hasn't got a big straight


Also should we not be staying on road tires heard someone say they changed to softs

Yes. Initially I wanted to use pit1 only for refuel and pit2 only to change tires. Then, how it turned out, I decided to use the two pit stops only for refuel the bare essential.

A changed tires and put minimum fuel in on 2nd stop

I'll be returning also Should be joint on point with dino for championship after drop round so all to play for. Just need to keep out of trouble from now on

Congrats Dino.

I actually had some good racing with people out there last night. Pit stops ruined my race last night.

Agree with Super T, starts should be made after final corner or after pits entrance as this is where the real life SC would be peeling off anyway.

Hardest part of the SC period for me was tyres going cold tried keeping them warm but got owned by Super T on first corner.

You are partially right with that.

In the real world, when the safety car returns into the pit the pace is usually determined by the race leader from there on out. He can start accelerating whenever he wants from there, but overtaking is not allowed until either the pit-line or the start-finish-line (depends where the safety takes off).

However starting from the last turn in our race yesterday wouldn't have been possible since the people in the back were still catching up and were not fully part of the group.

But don't worry, we'll keep it in mind for the future races.


As for the non existent long straight at Hockenheim:
I know its not really a straight, but the "Parabolika" should be long enough to do restarts from there (except when racing the shorter "Motorradkurs"-version in race 1 ^^)

Ano we spoke about driving standards  when going though replay a wondered why we had a second restart and found this.

id say on the safety car issue just let the first place guy decide the go and not do a count down when he goes its go as in real life just announce a position that you cant overtake before

totally agree m8 driving standards in this series is horrendous Ive been wrecked in the first lap on the last 3 races luckily there was a total restart but my race was basically over on the last 2 and all you hear is get crew chief bla bla bla no just look where others are its common sense other games don't have stupid apps telling you where other cars are

All u need is to move your right analog stick to look around u but honestly the in game mirror is enough to let u know where a car is and to leave enough space Ave been lucky so far to avoid any major wrecks.
