Glad we concur, now stop posting so fast!! Evil or Very Mad

So people, across the weekend, we beat our previous record from Le Mans which was c.5,500 and seeing as our membership is around 1100 that means 6x our membership watched us all racing!

Now, fair TORA Community, if that's not cool I don't know what is. Very Happy

Show's I don't read the bottom line that much lol.
Point still valid though Razz

I know that, just from my own Forza community travels, you have now gained a lot of new interest from sites such as VTCC and XPLR - both of which already have plans underway to enter TORA Nurburgring 8 Hours.

Although it appears fantastic now you may come to regret it when it's time to run the event lol!

by **Richy59** Wed 19 Sep 2012 - 13:23

Exactly

by **Matt** Wed 19 Sep 2012 - 13:31

In the end, it's all exposure for you guys to a wider audience either Forza based but increasingly from outside and the wider motorsport community too.
I am happy to be corrected but I think part of the draw is the exposure we can offer through TORA TV. I'm pretty sure no one does it to the same degree we do. And I'm massively proud of the guys who put the effort into presenting that stuff.

Personally that is a huge part of the attraction, this is also the impression I've had from other non-TORA people I've spoken to. The added extras like TORA TV, Radio, podcasts, etc combined with the level of organisation that TORA provide means that this site stands head and shoulders above any other site I've come across in my years trawling through the Forza community.

And so you should be - their commitment, effort and skills should be applauded Cheers

What you and the rest of the TORA Staff have built is mightily impressive - what's exciting is that there appears to be a continuity in everything that is done combined with new ideas for the future!

Now they are some impressive figures!

Time for a thread revival!!

The website has been updated ready in preparation for the next gen! The feel is familiar but its a little more flashy and fits better.

Please let me know of any major issues, but hope everyone likes the new layout!

Looks really nice! Very Happy

Only spotted one error.. TASCAR Season 3 Calendar has 'Qualifying' spelt wrong at the qualifying round at Sunset Smile

by Guest Wed 30 Oct 2013 - 13:22

looks awesome, congrats again. Follows the style of new squared windows and the new XB1 tiles.....which is nice and refreshing.

Can you add some hover over pop up text for the championships tiles that says the championships in text to when hovering over a square, as it's hard to read now and if new and do not recognise these logos probably harder.

Click on Affiliates at the bottom of the page takes you to the top of the page. Would be awesome to be taken to a partner page with an explanation of them, how they are affiliated to TORA and maybe their own twitter feeds and website URL's so we can drive traffic to them. Plus an area for interested parties to submit interest in partnering/affiliating. Would also be great for something like DREAD that the website link opens up on the TORA Team polo shirt ;O)

Can you make the "Join TORA" massive button red not white.....even though its huge I didn't spot it until the third scroll to the bottom!!! DOH! Yes, you need to cater to idiots like me ;O(

The menu "Forums" link i'd change to opening a new tab for Forums instead of navigating away from the website entirely. If someone isn't already a member and not yet wishing to sign up you could lose them there as currently it takes you to the forums away from the website.

There's an opportunity for room on the top nav/menu to add something like "Free downloads" and link it to the TORA Wallpapers, plus maybe add some of the Championship Posters as they are really cool artwork. In the future maybe adding tunes and other stuff to this section.

LOOKS GREAT ;O) NICE WORK!!!

All the affiliate links take you to their web pages scratch

At least for me

by Standaman94 Wed 30 Oct 2013 - 14:01
