SO SP1

starts

2.30 min SP2 gets going

5 min SP3 gets going

should be near hotel SP1 meats SP3 cars

gonna suck to be SP3 then
but one other big probelem is they get 5 minutes, and 2.5 mintes less running time than SP1, so that's gonna suck
just my thoughts

by theboomeranga Mon 22 Oct 2012 - 8:46

instead of 2 and a half minutes gap, why not 2 or 1 and a half minutes? thats still a decent amount of time, but you still don't have to wait for the cows to come home

When will the official car selection and sign-ups happen for this event?

by **CQR Rogue** Mon 22 Oct 2012 - 20:48

next few weeks

by **Ianmr** Mon 22 Oct 2012 - 21:21

It should be on Saturday the 3rd of November 2 weeks before the event.

This gives us an other week or so to take feed back on the PIs and adjust.

I urge everyone to test as many cars a possiable and post their times Smile

I'm interested, but my normal team mate hates the Ring and won't take part because he's a big bummer.

Anyone interested in doing one of the stints let me know.

For reference, I would be looking to get into the high GT Class or the PGT class.

BloodYCaiN, if by some miricle you ain't got a second driver, you know where to come mate.

Thanks for the offer Grafters. I see great potential in that. As of now I haven't decided how I will enter this event or who I'm driving with. Normally I would be running with Team Hailfire but I don't know where they're at with this event and I know they already have quite a few "RINGER" drivers and may not necessarily need me. I'll be running some laps this week for testing. As this is my fastest and #1 track on Forza I have high expectations for myself and my teammate so I will be putting alot of time in between now and the event. Anyone that knows me knows I fricken eat and breath this track on Forza. In any case...my teammate needs to be a die-hard ring runner also. Can't wait for this [Censored]!!!

as far as I know, Hailfire Racing and/or Serpent Racing will be feilding a bunch of cars for N8, and I thought you were running with overdrive for the N8? or are we strictly talking VLN? In that case I don't think Hailfire was planning on doing this, but I am with Drake.

by **HCR ChicaiN** Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 17:55

I didnt know there were two different races...now I'm confused. I know nothing of me teaming up with anyone on these yet.

Please clarify the two different races.

by F4H Drake Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 18:15

There is this, the VLN race (in November) which is basically a test for both the longer Nurburgring 8 Hours (in December) and a possible VLN series next year.

For this race I am teaming with Mopar, but for the Nuburgring 8 Hours I am teaming with II Alex P II.

Unless I'm mistaken. Laughing

by **HCR ChicaiN** Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 18:21

What does VLN stand for? So, this is not an actual TORA event next month?

by F4H Carrera Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 18:22

well, you asked for it....Veranstaltergemeinschaft Langstreckenpokal Nürburgring

LOL...thanks buddy. I'll be sure to remember that.

by F4H Drake Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 18:28

It is a TORA event, VLN is the series it is based off of.

by **HCR ChicaiN** Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 18:52

So...when you say its actually a practice that isn't 100% accurate? Sorry for all the questions but is this VLN next month just one race or multiple races?

by F4H Drake Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 19:02

As of right now, the car list is being finalized. There is the TORA VLN Nordschleife race in November, and then there is the TORA Endurance Championship Nurburgring 8 Hours in December.

Again, I hope I'm not feeding you misinformation.

by XPR Roadrunner Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 19:03

get ready for it:
Veranstaltergemeinschaft Langstreckenpokal Nürburgring

aka Community organizers Nürburgring Endurance Cup (from google translate).

It will be an event, hence why its in the "pitlane". It is a test for both a VLN series and the N8 in december.

by **HCR ChicaiN** Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 19:05

I think I understand now. Much appreciated!

by **Richy59** Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 19:07

The Nurb8 is our 8 Hour Endurance around the ring that will be taking place in December. This will be the final TEC race of 2012.

Thanks to the Community, the VLN has been demanded and it will be a 4 hour shorter race with up to 2 teammates taking a stint each. It is also going to be used as a test for our car list for the Nurb to make sure it is fair and balanced.

The VLN may become a series in 2013 depending on the popularity.

by XPR Roadrunner Tue 23 Oct 2012 - 19:11

IT WILL become a series, or I will spam everybody with this in thier inboxes
