TORA 24 Hours of Le Mans - General Discussion

9th, it seems but still a phenominal effort!

Disappointed in the end with 10th as it doesn't give justice to the work put in for the event. I'm sure a lot of other teams could say something similar though. I guess we expected a decent run after the Sebring success but you win some and lose some at the end of the day.

A lot of it was our own demise (the crashes and missed stints). Hindsight's a beautiful thing but it can't change anything that's been settled.

And @ Deftone: I see where you're coming from about the incident, on a different day things would have been different. As I said, hindsight's a beautiful thing but the s**t went down and it's done.

The thing that done me was the angst vented at me (not just from Scuderia but other sources), one who even said I was being chastised. By people I didn't even know. That's what done it but now the dust's settled I'm more than willing to move on because it was a crap day in the end and I have developed a resounding hate for Le Mans on Forza.

I also was confident about making the pass because when I passed you first, I had a crap run out of Mulsanne which got you past at Indy. I knew I had one of if not the fastest car at the Porsche Curves (I was hitting 182 before the twinky left) and was really strong in the first sector (how I had the run on you before the incident). In a different world maybe one of us would have been further behind perhaps, or maybe one of us would have backed off the 50/50 into Dunlop Chicane.

I definitely had the race pace no matter where our overall standing was. Same with Drake's team...no one had issues with them being way off and just tearing past. You also fought with Bulin there too, and him and machine especially in his mindset at that time was unreal.

I have put a Stint Rank spreadsheet together to show the ranking on each stint. I have left out the start order, due to the mixed classes in each lobby but once stint 1 was done the cars were ranked in order and therefore a bit more orderly.

Nice statistics ESEA Really shows the movement of the teams:) Stats at the end are cool too, good work [Y]

so i heard this song after completing stint 12, and this song gits to everyone who competed.

I first of all like to congratulate on the entire session. it was my first time doing this championship (im not including sebring since I had to pull out with family passing away on the night)....................I rly enjoyed it. I like to say my thanks to adamwatson99 to give me a drive.

I was abit disappointed with my console, its strangly always forza I keep getting disconnected with, I feel I could have gotten more miles in.......I am annoyed with D-TechR, he set the fastest time in our team and was suppose to be doing the night stints. but he never raced.

Blaze, I wish I knew what happened to DTech, as he seems to have been off XBL for a week. And while I feel bad for your team, as I set him up when Adam posted a team advert for a driver, I am starting to worry a bit for my friend from Puerto Rico as I know DTech has a very dangerous job in law enforcement. I just hope he is okay.

Well Bandicoot and I caught the MKR Corvette entering the Ford chicanes so we all got stacked up bumper to bumper as we came on to the front straight. It's history now just try to forgive Scuderia as it had been a long day for him. It's really my fault for his message as my initial reaction triggered the anger in the others. PM me if there are anymore issues and we'll get them sorted.

Anyways, I look forward to racing with you this weekend in the ISCC!

 Thanks to CRA Erebus and MaynardVXR for their kind words towards me and my guys. It was indeed LMR Johnnys and LMR leadgodasses first race in TORA so to come out 3rd after my bad crash in stint 1 was a hell of an achievement for them. We had a hell of a great time and a hell of a lot of effort, after the race we drove range rovers with jelly physics to celebrate and have a good laugh. A big thanks to TORA for hosting such a big event as well as a big thanks to LMR and Formula Forza for standing behind and supporting me, my guys and our car. We wouldn't have done nearly as good as we did without you guys. A big shoutout to B lobby, a great bunch of racers and guys that really made it all fun especially when it came to aka "Red Bottom"     to finish only a couple miles behind the CRA car was incredible result, Hope to return again next year and race with you guys again.

 ''Red Bottom red Bottom come in Red bottom''   So funny.

I just pooped

Excellent SS!

I read somewhere that the TEC is a points championship with points scored at each round. Is that true?

mhm

Yes, it is.
A couple of times it is been asked by several members about the standings.
Latest answer by organisers was soon....

We'll make sure the TEC points table has been created before Silverstone, hopefully well before.
