Lets discuss, How’s your car handling? Do you like this track? Who do you think will win this event?

[HCR generaltso]

Nobody likes this track

[AMR of the Apex]

I dont mind it

[AMR of the Apex]

What's everyone's top speed at the end of the straight, Mine's not getting any higher than 135mph.

And also, would anyone be interested in doing some online practice runs, nobody else on my list is aware of this site and just doing laps in test drive isnt enough, or is it outlawed in here?

[WWR Chillz]

I love this track! ........ for hot lapping. (Check B Class leaderboards for more info )
It should be a fun close race but very limited overtaking opportunities. It could still turn out to be a better race than what people are expecting though. Should be more fun than the the TCM cars around here.
Mini - Suzuka East - 53.569 so far.

[Biggsy tv]

im in, but only for the last 2 races due to work.

[AMR of the Apex]

I still dont seem to be on the entry list yet, am I in or not?

[Britracer]

Can i just apologise now for if I entered twice and I couldn't for the life of me remember if I had or not.

[AMR of the Apex]

I'm getting a guts-ache now cos my setups changed ahead of tonight race and the way I have to drive has to change , and its not working.

[AMR of the Apex]

Dunno why the hell this has happened, cant "reach" any of the hosts, even though I'm chuffing talking to them in party, If it was me then blame the people i told not to go online.... cant trust anyone these days.

Was looking forward to that, thought i'd be utterly pants.

[AMR of the Apex]

NAT conflict, didnt know the North Atlantic Treaty lived in my router.

[Britracer]

That was some porperly good racing tonight , especially in race 2. ALso, AJ Hamilton and Vitaly Britracer down the back straight was fun

[Biggsy tv]

nice bit of fixing there. Thought even the race steward would know what the race rules are! Obviously I thought wrong.

[lfcnicklfc]

Looked like a great turnout I think for future references championships such as these should be a lot shorter.

[Biggsy tv]

OOOOoooooo. handbags!!

[garyp3398]

i enjoyed that.Last race with britracer was hard going.Who has an amazing way of taking the last corner .......... on two wheels!! watching replay now.I think this is a great series.

[lfcnicklfc]

No handbags Biggsy i'm just saying to the Senior members look at the numbers for the first 5-6 meetings compared to now take this in mind make the championships shorter, this makes them more entertaining and keeps the numbers up i'm not having a go i'm just trying to help TORA.

[HCR generaltso]

thank you for bringing this up nick. as we have discussed previously...i think this is a matter which should be looked at.

though to be fair, richy and ian were playing halo...lol

Can you blame them? The Halo Reach beta is out and speaking of that Richy, Ian is it any good ??

[WWR Chillz]

But why have people not been showing up??? That's the question.
Anyway, great racing tonight guys, I thoroughly enjoyed race 2 with Aero and Rogue.

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

Great racing I thought tonight I enjoyed race 2 and race 3

[Crisis Nine]

OOOOoooooo. handbags!!

Amazing....

[Biggsy tv]

"5.5.2c Competitors who are not ready for competition by 20:00 UK time may not be eligible for qualifying but may be allowed to start race 1 at the back of the lowest lobby's grid."

Doesn't say any different for race 2.

Just to say I will be making a fuss of this due to last nights occurance.

[Matt]

..... consider the numbers game for last night. There were barely enough of you for two lobbies.
Then consider that it could be implied that to allow someone to enter AFTER the first race into the lobby which essentially becomes A lobby at the end is allowing them an unfair chance of a free win. I'm not saying this is the case, but unscrupulous people could use it to their advantage. The rule stipulates race 1, if you want us to tighten up the rules and spell it out even more then we will.

[Biggsy tv]

yes
