-Times will be taken down and confirmed by the lobby host.
-These will be uploaded to the live timing application.

Race 1 (Round 3)

Laps TBA (Approx 60 mins)

-The grid will be ordered as per qualifying times.
-The grid will form up in race order on the parade lap, this will be instructed by the lobby captain and then the race will start by a rolling start, cars will stay at 60mph on the parade lap and line up side by side, once you pass the pit entrance the pole sitter can shout go, once go is issued there can be no overtaking until the start and finish line.
-You must make 1 mandatory pit stop between lap 2 and the penultimate lap of the race. You may not make your mandatory stop on the first or last lap of the race. The lobby captain must be informed by each driver when they are taking their pit-stop, and failure to pit will result in disqualification.

Lets discuss

[ATR DAN]

In!

[johnnyboy360]

Definetly in!! Dan...YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Whatever you have done to the porsche, you have made it FRICKING AMAZING!!!! Got a 1.20.9xx and its MUCH more easier round the corners!! Thanks a lot mate!!

[ATR DAN]

No worries dude. I doubt it'll get us at the front of the field......more likely to be midfield to be honest. Don't know if it's any better but I've sent you another set-up. I reckon its about another couple of tenths quicker if not more. My best around the circuit is a 1:20.1xx

[johnnyboy360]

Ok mate will try it out later tonight! Even still mid-field is quite good providing we are high up!

[Ax4x Chaddy]

i hope to make this but ill be running at the back for sure!

[LMR DarthMario]

I'm in

[johnnyboy360]

No worries dude. I doubt it'll get us at the front of the field......more likely to be midfield to be honest. Don't know if it's any better but I've sent you another set-up. I reckon its about another couple of tenths quicker if not more. My best around the circuit is a 1:20.1xx

Tried that new set up mate, dont like it! I cant push it as much as the old set up, so i went back to the old set up and got 1.20.507!

[nickyf1]

I'll be in!

The Ford is suffering from chronic understeer, i'm still pootling around in the 1.21's..

[lfcnicklfc]

have you put the tune that Switch sent you before Suzuka or are you using the one from last night??

[nickyf1]

I've taken down the power quite a bit and put wider tyres on, also done a bit of fine tuning myself. I'll have to try it later.

[i redbeard]

Out tonight.

Sadly despite being in the office at 7am today - I'll be here until after 11pm, so no Silverstone International for me. Shame too as I was looking forward to it!

On the bright side at least I'll be up when the Superbowl gets under way.

[nickyf1]

Is everybody deaf or something??

Jesus!

[nickyf1]

I feel like complete crap for damaging Johnnyboy on the parade lap, and nobody can be bothered to even listen to call a restart.

I'm sorry Johnny, really

[Matt]

Once again XBL has ruined my race!
My intenet connection is fine, just XBL. Since that last update it's been poor.
Sorry Chris but PSN has ALOT better stability of late.

Nicky, don't worry about it, I mean it would have been completely different if a)Duncan wasn't there as I feel Chris was trying to not mess up whereas usually he would do a restart and b) if people had listened

I felt like I wanted to quit the race as all you heard throughout the race was Chris moaning like hell... I really wanted to say something but I thought no I won't as it will only make things worse. It would have been completely different of someone else got damage... I have been practicing for ages trying to get the car right and then when someone crashes into me on the parade lap, I get told to lump it. And I'm afraid to say if Chris carries on his "I dont care about anyone else cos I'm so annoyed about little changes in the rules" attitude, then people are gonna quit the whole of TORA and move to IFCA or someone like that, I was really thinking about it during the race...

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

Great racing in C lobby tonight.

Best GT race Ive ever had

[AMR of the Apex]

Am I reading the Live Timing right?

1st and 2nd both on the same finishing time?

Another one for the end of season Video perhaps?

[HCR generaltso]

you need to see the replay from the mini cooper race @ mugello

[ATR DAN]

I really enjoyed the race. It was a good first few laps in-particular between myself and Duncan; shame it didn't last long because it would have been epic.
8th place; that'll do nicely but it makes me wonder why I missed most of the racing last year because the racing this year has made me realise how much I've missed it.

[LMR DarthMario]

i had a great race tonight. was able to keep up with lfcnick for the first 1/2 or so, then started slipping back into the grasp of Berty. broke late into turn3/4 (the hairpin onto the International straight) and berty got by, and spent the rest of the race trying to keep the pressure on to get that spot back. unfortunately the time and laps ran out. Great racing Berty
