ISCC America Awards (Warning lots of video's and photo's)

First off I would once again thank every single one of our members for making this series what it is today! I would also like to thank the staff for allowing me to be the person to put EVERYONE's idea's into an organized series, it does mean a lot to me personally. Now I say it is the community that makes the series what it is today because it's true. Those who don't think so, I want to take you back to two years ago, to the dark day's of TORA. The ISCC (then called the LeMans Series) was strugling for numbers, how much you ask? Round 9 at Laguna Seca that season there was a grand total of 11 cars that took the green flag, 6 LMP1's, 2 LMP2's and 3 GT1's. The series and comunity was in a tough position and if I personally remember correctly (correct me staff) we were talking wether we should keep going as a community or abandon TORA all together and go our separate ways. Obviously we stuck with it and in just two shot years we saw 90+ cars on the grid in ISCC Alone, GT's obviously much higher and that is all thanks to you guys! So enough of the history lesson, lets get on with the awards shall we?

Thanks for the photo and national anthem of the USA! I can't wait until next year! P1 possibility...?

It's funny when you think about this being "just a game." You don't feel like it should have any emotional bearing or "weight" to a championship, but I somehow think as this feeling sets in that there is so much more to winning a season championship. If you look back at Sebring, I ended up 31st in a hungry field of GTE cars after a lag out and for the next seven races I felt compelled beyond all belief to chase this title. Did I think that I could win? No and somehow I never stopped pushing, though. The close racing in this series forced me to come back race after race. The battles with RR BodyRollin, Rollin Inan STI, MXR Claim, CRC DantheMan, WCM Outlaw, CMGraphix, BG Hainsey, CRC Skitchin, BB1291 were off the charts (Anyone that I forgot, sorry-Josh). The fact that everyone kept coming back made it even more addicting, forcing me to push harder! Even when qualifying looked really good for me, everyone forced me to step up in the race or I'd surely be passed up. Then if I quallified terrible, I had to return the favor (Sunset, Sedona, Road America, etc). The people are what makes this series so d@mn good, whether it's the stewards, officials or competitors. Keep pushing each other so we keep making this community even tighter, even faster, even stronger. This is the ISCC and we made it an extremely good season!
I'm sure that this title will set in tomorrow, but tonight I'm thankful for all of the friends, teammates and competitors that I've met with TORA!

-Joshua (IRT YT RICE) Morin

Being that this was my first TORA series that I participated in, I'm thrilled that I got 3rd in the Privateer GTE standings. Thanks to AudiSport Louis and the TORA staff for configuring such a fun series!

Marc VDS is Belgian
ISCC was a lot of fun, and certainly more strategic than other series. I thoroughly enjoyed it through and through, and I'll certainly be back next year

Congrats to my team, Marc VDS. It didn't look so good to begin with, but after Britcar in September we realised if we try our hardest we might just make it. Thanks all!

Also a firm handshake and pat on the back to the GTC driver champs, Vodafone BG, SRN, and M&M. You were indeed fine opponents

RICE woooooooooooooooooo

I think it's rightful for the real world team if you changed it to Belgium

Thanks Louis, of all the Championships Ive taken part in at TORA this year, the ISCC is by far my favourite. The extra work put into the stats set it that little bit apart.

Big thanks to my Team, Standaman94 and UK II Blackbird, for running us as consistatly as possible near the front, making sure that Nurbracer, with Marc VDS took our first ever Championship back home

A huge thanks also goes out to every driver I raced alongside, the passing by the P1 and P2 cars was always calm, considered and courteous, never forcing a dodgy pass made the series a lot more enjoyable, and let us get on with our own, slightly slower, battles.

Roll on next season! (I already know which privateer I want to sign up )

finaly ya won something j/k
congrats to all winners and losers.
sure,i did only 1 race,but the format looks good and i like it.

Well done everyone

congrats to every one and i will see u all next season

Congratulations to everyone, especially Wumba for bringing home British Gamers' first TORA title!

Well done to everyone in the series for making it such an amazing Championship, Well done everyone!

Belgium added for MarcVDS as requested

'winter' testing has begun

the count down to the wheels down official ISCC test session is under way

I'm gonna wait for cars list and PI before then........Ahhh long winter break for meee......2 more rounds of GT's......Sigh.....

Congratulations to everyone.

My first season in P1 was a success with fellow teammate FranchittiFan, 3rd overall. Not bad going at all, it would always be near impossible overhauling the teams above us!!

congratulations to everyone who competed this year.

Picked up a privateers class win in GTE and finished 4th on that and 14th overall in class. A great year for the championship.

already planning ahead for next year. I'm not mention anything yet on what I'm driving or what class I be in.

as this season was all american tracks, is the next one going to be a different region

It's not called "ISCC America" for nothing Since it is the "International Sports Car Championship" and ISCC Season 3 took place around the globe, then I assume that S5 will too.

here's the teaser spyshot for next year

take a guess (not U aero u already know)
