5th Annual TORA INDY 500 Race Thread

[Radiation Louis]

Race time is at 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Sunday June 2nd. (In the past races have been completed in just over 2 hours time.)

If you qualified for the race it is automatically assumed you are "IN" for the race. If you don't show everyone who is below you will be bumped up in the grid order (So those who just missed out of qualifying in the top 33 you still have a chance)

Race Instructions. 2 warm up laps and we will start racing with a 3 X 3 Start. Someone in the lobby (Preferably the lobby host or Marshal) remember the race time that the pole sitter crosses the start finish line. This can be shouted out for all to hear so hopefully more than 1 person will be able to remember.

All drivers will complete all 200 laps of the race. when you cross the finish line to complete lap 202 and start 203 (laps 1-2 are warm up laps and lap 203 is the cool down lap) it is up to YOU to remember what the total race time is for YOUR race. This is very important for gathering results. If you cannot remember or don't get that piece of information you will be scored behind all others that do remember their total race time. Those who did this event last year know exactly how this works and all this information will be stated numerous times through out the race.

Warm up lap speed and where the acceleration point is for the start of the race will be disclosed in the lobby before the race starts.

Special instruction for Lobby D or lower, you may run safety cars if you so wish. this may change if on the slim chances some of you get bumped up into the top 33 grid.

Have fun guys, be respectful of your fellow competitors and as always i wish you all the best of luck.

I personally would also like to thank everyone of you for believing in this event and making it the huge success it has been thus far. Without your support this would never be the event it is now so again thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!

Just an idea: The polesetter (or anyone of the top 3) of each lobby could also use the capture option, where the console captures up to 10 minutes of following gameplay. This way you would have actual footage of the exact time when the race started. And the capturing ends automatically after 10 minutes so no need to stop it by yourself.

last year we found a work around for anyone to actually having to remember that in particular. had a marker on the track and a target time to reach that marker

[aka copphole360]

if someone from the top 33 doesn't make the race will 34th qualifier be first alternate?

[Radiation Louis]

Yes

if someone from the top 33 doesn't make the race will 34th qualifier be first alternate?

Just got a FB message from NoDoubtFlatOut and seems he has had a family issue come up and wont be able to race so congrats you're in the field of 33
