Wow, what a great couple of races, action packed to say the least!

Sooo many crashes, i can see the sim steering taking affect in a couple of those. Great production as usual though, very impressive! (Y)

There are several "Hello this is me and I'm racing on Forza...", I've seen basic broadcasts of people's solo efforts among online races. But for what we do, I cannot find anyone else on youtube that does.

No one does and that along with everything else (presentation, radio etc) is what makes Tora the premier online race organizers out there by quite a big margin.

Thanks for all th great comments. I know all the team are so proud of what has developed over the past 5 plus year and we are really excited about what's in store for the future.
The final section of video showing where we have come from was brilliant. I knew nothing about that at all. It's a testament to every single competitor in every single race over those years that we have reached where we are now and are growing stronger every race.
I hope to see you all in GT Season 9 as we look to the future after 8 seasons with the production based cars.
It's going to be so much fun!

Great coverage as always guys, and the retrospective was awesome to watch!

Louis: "He hit that cone like an American football field goal kicker!"
Adrian: "And it was good.
Louis: "Good indeed, that cone just sailed over the guard rail. They aren't going to be recovering that one again anytime soon, probably going to have to buy a new one."

But yeah, not to throw anyone under the bus (because it really was shown by everyone but Run Wide) but I've never seen such a poor display of car control and/or judgement in a TORA race. In your guys' defense, it made for one hell of a show to watch. Hilarious

I haven't even gotten to Round 20 lol!

I think the track had more to do with it than bad driving, any track that has jumps in it has no place being on the calender. Entertaining though. Razz

Think you need to take a look at the Slovakia Ring. There's a jump there that was launching the GT3 guys. Spec-tacular!!!

Beautiful ending, I love how in my team's 4-week tenure at TORA I've made enough of an impact to make the highlight reel at the end video. Actually made me feel very welcome Surprised

I wish I knew about this place 3 years ago, though. Long Live TORA! cheers

It was the final day of school and everyone was drawing on eachothers shirts....

It saved me from contemplating on planning a TOCA Shootout style final event...

There is a certain Flugplatz which is saying "I am so disappoint" right now.

its something that you can show people to be like "this is what we do"

not just oh yeah, me and some mates race together online.

I guess Simon's replay didn't show what happened at the end of the last race? I had tapped the wall on the exit which gave Run Wide the run on the inside. Had a lot of damage from trying to avoid the accidents so it was really only a matter of time.

Was kinda hoping for more with the final TORA TV for a while, but it wasn't bad at all. The montage was pretty cool at the end.

by **Biggsy tv** Wed 6 Jun 2012 - 7:23

Yea, the replay cut out at the lefthander after the tunnel, so I had to improvise Neutral

Just finished watching the last two race, you guys were right that was intense! I love how u guys can take a replay from a race in a video game, and make it like real life! It continues to amaze me, like talking about the turbos n having n advantage at altitude, and my favourite... (and I'm doing this from memory) 'it's a very cold day today' 'indeed it is, the locals playing it smart and staying in doors and wondering what the hell we're doing out here' it's great love it! And seeing its a fantasy track, giving the corners name, that actually work! Love u work guys, can't wait to watch (and hopefully race in) the Season 9 shows with full on racers

Hey guys, since watching TORA tv this week, I believe someone may have contacted the Bernese alps circuit mechanic and got him to fix the clock because I was doing a race and it isn't frozen anymore, they must've put a clear insulator over it or something, oh a speaking of Bernese alps, one thing we should do is a prototype race at the festival circuit reverse, I just did it then and it's so much better than in the gt cars, it's so much quicker u gotta hold a race there
