You always wind people up

Love a bit of Touring Car Action but wouldn't it be better to run Silverstone another time as it clashes with the British Grand Prix so there's gonna be drivers missing out

Not done any TORA in ages as I hate FM7, but sooo tempted to do TCC, it has been so much fun over the years.

Believe me it will be even more fun than before this year.
After our short testing session last Thursday, it's clear there's gonna be close racing throughout the field. Possibly closer than ever before.

Certainly worth thinking about. Still got over a week to decide though.

I'm going for free but still racing

This series has grown to the point I need some help hosting it.

Any volunteers?

I can host if I'm racing

Thanks Mead.

I apologise sincerely for the mistake I made in qualifying tonight, from now on I shall wear the unofficial TORA dunce cap. Great racing in D lobby though, glad everything ran smoothly.

Loving the new picture there Yuuko

Gonna shoot out a quick thanks to everyone who turned up last night.
Made for some great racing throughout the field with some good battles going on.
Also a big thanks to the hosting squad what with Mikey absent for getting the job done brilliantly. And to Mr Michaels for stepping up to host C Lobby for what I believe was his hosting debut.

Funny that you did the same thing to me after I got up the inside of you at druids and forced me off the track 😂

Yeah but as I've explained elsewhere mate I didn't knowingly drive you off the circuit I race bonnet cam so as far as I was aware you had backed off as I just followed the racing line.
The guy that did it too me shot down the inside of me at Graham hill bend and then went straight taking us both off the circuit in race 2

If you drive in bonnet cam fair enough that's your decision, BUT YOU need to be aware of things going on around you!! If someone is near you use that right stick, its used to look to the left, right and behind you. If you use a view which compromises your spacial awareness then you need to be even more aware than someone using it from behind the car. You didn't even look once to your left throughout the last corner, pushed him on to the grass and then the tiny straight which was plenty of time to look around.

You even apologized to someone for you not being aware of him then blast someone else that had full rights to be along side you, for again YOU not being aware of him.

Ahh so what your saying is I should back off and let anyone and everyone who dive bombs me into the corner because they then have a right to be there and what when your at racing speed and your ahead (whether that's by a full or half car length) you have the reactions to look around with the right thumb stick!?

Just to confirm it was about the SI that was done against you, which resulted in you having a -3?

Did you even watch the relay? He in no way dive boomed you, he was along side you throughout the last corner and the straight and then was ahead of you, yet he dive boomed you? mmm

Yes in fact I do in fact and so should everybody who plays in leagues, I even do it when outside the car. So what happens when someone does not call out where they are and they are along side you? How do you know when to give space if they are along side you or do you just hope for the best each time? It's a simple tap to the left or right to see if anybody is there.

How is anybody supposed to race against you if you drive in a compromised view and then don't bother to look around to see if anybody is there? What happens when someone is on your inside? You just turn in to them, or do you look?

What about the spotter with the arrow?

I race bonnet cam and for the most part, I’m aware of everything around me without having to constantly look about because of the feet indicator. If you use that as a reference, then it’ll make you a lot more aware of who’s around you, then you won’t cause as many accidents

I'm done with this I'll leave you guys to crack on....no one is willing to look at this from my point of view so crack on.......I have no issues racing anyone else on any other forums.
You guys are clearly ignoring the fact that he drove straight at the end of that turn and from my viewpoint made no attempt to turn right other wise why was the side of his car right in front of my car!.
Like I said I'm done
