TORA Clubman Cup Meeting 3 - Rules & Discussion - 14th August 2012 - 8pm BST

I'll join in with the Lotus Esprit Turbo if it isn't too late. May I use the number box from the Le Mans series? If not I need a number box.

Sent them to Racert46 this morning so hopefully he will send you them

I wanted to send them but I did not get any Richy59.....

Sent again

can you send me the number boxes please

I need to make some apologies...

Chaddy, I am sorry for the incident at Road America. My car jumped sideways unexpectedly, and when I went to save it, I clocked you.

Simon, I had no idea what happened there other than lagging into you. Evidently my wife was checking the net out on her cell phone, and it caused all sorts of lag havoc for me as its on the same wifi. Due to the lag, I had already logged out of XBL as not to ruin anyone else's race, when I found the source.

Until then I was having some serious fun, but the last thing I want is to ruin anyone's race with my own issues. See you all next time.

Not exactly the Racing return I had in mind... I just couldn't get the FR-S hooked up at all!!

First 3 races were dissappointing being soo far off the pace, Race 4 I finally started to get somewhere and then had a talent failure taking out CMRGraphix's Aston and then loosing control and spinning Chaddy's awesome RS500. (although neither time did I hear a bang so I think Forza may think the FR-S is longer than it really is...)

Race 5 made my night, after ditching the FR-S for an S15 I was suddenly on pace and compettitive!! I had some great battles and scored a 3rd place, just getting done out of the last corner by Chaddy's RS500.

Thanks to everyone for a great fun night's racing, even if I wasn't able to keep up with most of it!

Had some epic races tonight, some really good stuff! Loved driving the Integra, Richy you've got to set up another Clubman Cup meeting!!!

Sorry for the length of time it took us to get the racing done in Lobby B tonight, that qually session really lengthened everything!

Some excellent racing throughout the night though, especially around Road America. That second race was an absolute blast. I'll need to record it and put it online.

I hope everyone had fun, the cars PIs will see a slight adjustment again for Britcar as some of the modern RWD cars struggled. I think on the whole though the car list has worked out pretty well and the racing in either older cars or newer ones has been fantastic.

I would appreciate everyone's thoughts and feedback on the Clubman cars and how they could be improved or changed to make the racing even better.

Some good racing tonight, had a few lag and connection problems - will post up the results in the morning Richy when I get on my laptop

I think the FR-S needs to go in the bin!

Even after the PI boost it did'nt have the handeling to keep up even after it had the straight line speed. with a bit of a rethink I might be able to make it handle, but it would loose the power which is where it struggled half the night.

I think I proved after my car change that it wasn't ALL down to me

yeah MAGiC we had some major lag problems tonight during all the races. Must have been an XBL thing.

Very true Slider, you were much better in the S15. Maybe the P/W for this class just doesn't suit the FR-S

OH EM GEE!

That was the best racing i have ever had, on TORA and on Forza, period. Big shout out to the CQR guys, i had some ding-dong battles with them, especially one Mr Daniel! Wow, side by side round numerous corners with no contact, just amazing!

This series is full on WIN!

If we make this into a series expect the races to be a bit longer and set out properly.

I was also looking to have numerous 'Championships' in the mix as well, so rather than just 'Teams' and 'Drivers' you would have:

FWD Driver/Team Champion
RWD Driver/Team Champion
1980s Champion
1990s Champion
etc
etc

+1 Richy please do that on a tuesday night (more drivers on a tuesday)

Also i dont know what times lobby A where doing at Road America but damn my RS500 was the fastest by a mile in lobby B. Did a best of 2.30.3xx and yet more time could of been found! Very pleased with my results with using my wheel tonight!

^ Your results in the RS500 were impressive. I thought the Volvo was going to be the fastest straight line car at Rd America, you proved me wrong.

Well i'll be back (work dependant) with something more like my S15 and ALOT less like my FR-S!!

what fantastic racing, well done everyone had to drive like a getaway driver most of the night. looking forward to the next one.

great racing tonight

Talk about jumping in at the deep end for my first bit of TORA racing with little/no prep.

The MR-S would be a great little car with a bit more than 30 seconds spent on the tune. There's a little bit more acceleration left in there from a shorter final drive and, with a bit of suspension and diff tuning so you can really lean on the car, it would be spot on.

At 460pi I had to drive the wheels off it every single lap but it was a colossal amount of fun.

I'll echo what others have said about wanting more of the same.

When I didn't see you, I figured you missed it. I guess you were in the A Lobby? Props. Just making it to the A Lobby is an achievement.

I think alot of problems tonight are XBL live issues not peoples connections. Just tried to play battlefield and was jumping me all over the map even flying my chopper in a completly opposite direction. Could possibly explain why my car felt so wrong online tonight but over 6tenths quicker in testing. Great racing when it behaved for a lap or two though haha!

is there a clubman cup points scored table anywhere, with such close racing and the random grid selection its hard to keep track, pardon the pun,
i have to send out a great big thanks to everyone who raced A lobby last night, with such a mix of cars and tracks I thought it was going to be a bash fest, instead I was treated to probably the best nights racing that I've had since forza 2 days, clean driving, little bit of nibbling, gentle door handling where everyone still Carries on with only a touch of speed loss, side by side through corners, 4 wide down straights, if this had been real racing on TV I'd have fallen of my seat a few times.
pleasure to race with you guys, puts lobby racing to shame, turn 10 if you're listening...this is how its done!

Had great fun yesterday. Some great racing with Richy59 (or Mr Sideways....)
Wil be thinking about my car choice for the next one because i had some speed missing from the Scirocco GT.
Also Congrats to Morphader nl for his first TORA Lobby win after a great battle with Adder20 and Richy59. That should be on TORA TV!!!!!

Thanks to all that took part, it was great racing with you guys!

There is a points table but I need to get Magic's results when he gets the chance. I also need to put mine in.

Lobby Bwas spectacular and I'll be getting some of the footage. If anyone in Lobby A saved their replays can you send me them as I would love to take a look.

magic saved them all
