This morning at 8:02 PST, Hailfire Racing's old TORA headquarters was removed. As a replacement, TheOnlineRacingAssociation.com has granted the 4-year-old organization based on the United States' west coast a new Press Office.

With the new PR center, Hailfire Racing aims to cement its status in TORA, eventually expanding into series beyond TORA GT, where they are currently focused. Hailfire Racing does have a history in Prototype Endurance Racing, and has shown interest in achieving an entry into such enterprises on TORA, but it is unknown if or when this will be achieved.

Historically, Hailfire Racing has put forth efforts in events such as the OZFM WTCC (netting one overall win and multiple podiums), GameFAQs HLC (netting multiple #1 times), and currently the MMTCC, where it has achieved 3 overall victories in 5 races.

Next up, Hailfire Racing has its sights set on the TORA GT, aiming to field a full-effort in the final two races of the eighth season.
