why is the forza race regulations turned on if it is not enforced?

To allow the usuage of tracks without the tire barriers if I'm not mistaken

Fair question and correct answer.

This is our first go at the new Forza Race Regulations, which is indeed being done to remove the anti-cut tire barriers. May not have been noticable at Road America, but as we will all see next week, it's a game changer at Laguna Seca. Cool

As far as enforcement, TORA has a history of in house Stewarding, so if there's any action on track that is in violation of TORA Driving Standards, it will be dealt with accordingly via the Steward Inquiry process. If we find the in-game penalties to be fair yet effective, we may fully utilize them in future series.

You had the chance to reply to the Stewards as part of the process, and a clip showing lag would have really helped your case.

Probly out for the rest of the series. Don't worry about sending me invites. If by chance I can make it, I'll look up my lobby host and join on my own.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 6 Sep 2019 - 5:24

Another series in the books.

First of all I'd like to thank everyone that helped this happen, from the hosts to each and every racer that took part. Cheers

In hindsight, I really wish I had used the tried and true Vintage version (1969-73) cars, as they are far more fun to drive, but these cars have been begging for "something" we could do with them. Thng is, these cars did kinda suck at most everything, but the racing itself was actually freeking intense. Twisted Evil

And, expect the next Thursday series to be officially announced within the next couple weeks, as we all take a much needed break to rest regroup and focus on...

Classic DTM Cool
