TORA TASCAR Season 8 - Round 1: Wine Valley 100

Welcome to the first round of the 8th season of the TORA TASCAR Cup! After many issues that we have had with pit glitch, we are going to postpone Daytona again, but we will be racing on Saturday!  Sonoma has had many reinventions over the years.  First it was Sears Point Raceway, when a troubled start that included a three year shutdown eventually saw the track explode in popularity in the 1980's.  Then it was Infineon Raceway after the track went through a massive expansion in the late 1990's and into the 2000's.  Now it's Sonoma Raceway, which plays host several different US racing series including NASCAR and IndyCar.

Required Tune - I have shared a stock tune for each of the cars in the series.  They are all called "TASCAR S8 Stock" and are required to be used through the whole season.  If drivers show up to race without this tune, they will not be allowed to compete until they have loaded it. 

Qualifying - Qualifying for TASCAR will be a timed session lasting 10 minutes.  One 10 minutes has expired, racers will finish the lap that they are currently on before stopping on the back straight. If you fail to deliver a clean lap time, your fastest dirty lap time will be recorded and will be placed lower than the slowest clean lap time of your competitors. Please use the qualifying thread to check your qualifying lobby allocation. Remember that drivers should be/appear online 15 minutes prior to qualifying start, and should keep in-party chat to a minimal. Please check the Lobby Settings thread for which overrides are and aren't allowed.
 
Race - This race will consist of 40 laps, including the warm up lap. Drivers are expected to be familiar with the rules and regulations come race time. Please check the Lobby Settings thread for which overrides are and aren't allowed.
 
Pit Stops - There will be not pit stops during this race. We will be running Cosmetic Damage for this round.  

Starting Procedure - The race will start with a typical 80 mph 2x2 Rolling Start towards the end of the warm-up lap. Remember that each row of 2 cars are not to accelerate to race pace until THEY pass the Start/Finish line.

It is at 3:00 pm EST/8:00 pm GMT.

Can't wait

Reminder that qualifying is only 10 minutes + finish your lap.

Hey guys, we have a crazy amount of drivers to process today. There may be a slightly longer gap between qualifying ending and the race starting as we find hosts.

We are no longer required to sign in, correct?

Correct. All drivers have been allocated to a host for today.

I do not find it anywhere, is it allowed to drive with manual clutch?

Had a great race in D lobby, although keeping these cars on the black stuff for 40 laps may induce carpal tunnel syndrome . Spent half the race battling with MNR TINEH, that was fun.

Replay should be up soon, although it cuts off most of the last lap...

I am not pleased with the amount of non race chatter on the headset. I literally pulled over to turn my headset down. I gave up 3 spots because the chatter was too much. I hope this isn't a sign of future racing here for me. I did enjoy the racing. Had some great battles. See you guys on the track.

Anyone from B Lobby have the replay up?

Sorry about this Gashi, lobby chatter should have been policed by the host. In future, if you do notice a little too much chatter, please feel free to let the lobby host know and they will gladly tell people to be quiet.
