SBR

Tonight sees Slider S15 battle for his first ever TORA Championship Title in the TORA Rally Championship 2010.

Only 4 stages seperate him from Championship Glory and immortality amongst the Ranks of TORA's greats!

Only 2 things stand in his way, Selective Rogue and General TsO.

Selective Rogue is The Closest threat, Championship Leader in LMS LMP1 and also fighting for HRC Championship Honours tonight against Sam Billing1991, Selective Rogue in the VW TDI Martini Scirocco is possibly the odds on favorate to rain...

First of all sorry its been a while since the last update. Things are pretty busy here at SBR at the moment with university taking a vast amount of time up, The collapse of the Austins Salzgitter TCM Team and its rebirth and movement to an SBR team, and the beginning of preperations for the second half of the TORA Season, both time and Space here at SBR have been tight.

As you may well be aware Slider S15 is still in the lead of the Championship with a 3 point lead over SBR Boss and Fellow Impreza driving Privateer Sam Billing1991.

There...

With the Announcement of The TORA Formula Drift Championship (TFD) SBR Would like to anounce that they will be Entering the Championship as the SBR Falken Tires Drift Team!

With Two SBR 800K Challenges behind the Team and high finishes in that on both occasions, Hopes are high for a top end result For the SBR Boys.

At this point only One Driver is Confirmed....

#219 - Slider S15 - Two Time SBR 800K Drift Championion

Heres what he had to say:

"I'm so Glad that TORA is finally launching a Drift Championship after the huge ammount of fun...

The time has come for SBR to announce our third challenge, this time a break in the tradition of drift events, this time it's a one model, time attack style race.

The event will feature the Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 3D, the tracks will be kept secret to stop people practicing Hopefully we will have a full lobby for this, the cars are very good as standard, so should produce some close racing.

I'm working on a number box which must be displayed on each side, under the wing mirror area.

Ok Guys Tonight was the biggest night in TORA Drifting This season (until we do this again lol) the SBR 800K Challenge II!

We Challenged 8 of TORA's Drifter's to beat 100,000 Drift points in one lap of Fujimi Kaido and.....

WE FAILED!!!!

We completed 2 runs and i took each persons best run and used that for the total.

We got 792,402 Drift points... So near yet so far....

Slider S15 has stepped up his preperations in a bid to defend his SBR 800K Challenge Title. Slider has released this Video as a warning shot to other competitors and to generally show off what he does best....

Tonight a leaked email has revealed that SBR is currently trying to sign a new driver in current privateer XTI Avenger.

Sam had this to say when interviewed,

'Yes it is true that I've offered XTI Avenger a place on the team, providing that all of the paperwork is approved by the officials. Avenger is well known in the community for giving solid performances, and I hope to get the opportunity to race with him.
Avenger will hopefully be racing in the LMS with me in the P2 class Acura ARX 01-b, which is a fairly good all rounder. It will remain to been seen what happens...

After Rally Kaido SBR's founder Sam Billing1991 now leads both HRC and TRC drivers races, just one point ahead of SBR's Slider S15.

Sam was unavailable to comment but Slider had this to say.

"Obviously im kinda bummed to have lost the lead in the TRC drivers championship but theres nobody i'd rather loose it to than my boss and best friend Sam Billing1991. But that doesnt mean im lying down just yet!"

A full look into Slider's performance will be available soon.

With the Season half way through were extatic to have both drivers seperated by...

First of all some good news.... The pictures are back! Appologies for the last update's blandness but i wrote it when away from my Xbox, however this week the pictures are back

Round 3 Round up: TRC Rally Italia

Round 3 saw the TRC circus roll up in the small Italian Town of Positano and close down the streets for the day to raise hell, and boy did we put on a show!

The Rockstar Energy Drink Rally Team were very happy with the setup of the Impreza WRX STi...

Slider S15 has Won TRC Rally Itallia in his Privateer Rockstar Energy Drink Subaru Impreza WRX STi '05!



Michael Clements (Slider) Piloted the Impreza to Class Victory and 2nd overall (a feat never achieved by a TRC spec car!) with the Help of his...

First of all an appology as due to time constraints there are no pretty pictures for this post, hopefully normal service will be resumed next time.

Round 2 Round up:

Round 2 of the TORA Rally Championship saw us at the world famous Nurburgring for the TORA Eiffel Rally 2010. The team were feeling much better about this round after the head ache that was Round 1, with days rather than hours to set up the Impreza and new tire sponsor Falken Tires bought over from Slider's Drifting exploits to replace the sub-standard Pirrell'is used in the previous Round, the...

The Gauntlet has been thrown down once again by the SBR 800K Challenge II, The Second Installment of the Competition concieved to celebrate SBR's involvement in TORA and now a (hopefully) Regular Event for the Drifting Community of TORA. Just like last time 800,000 points is the Goal in just one lap. Here’s a little look at the brave men and their machines that will go into battle on Saturday 20th March 2010 against the Fearsome Mount Kaido in Japan.

Slider S15

Yes ladies and Gentlemen, the SBR 800K Challenge is back on Saturday 20th March 2010.

Just as before were challenging a group of TORA members to break the 100,000 drift points achievement in one lap of Fujimi Kaido to create an 800,000 Point Lobby!

If we get enough people a second lobby will be run aswell and we'll go for 1,600,000 Point Lobby!

Although there will of course be some competition between the drivers this event is a TEAM event, with everybody working...

Welcome to the first official monthly update from SBR, the aim of this article is to bring you up to date with whats going on within the team with regards to our racing activities on TORA.

TRC - As some people may have noticed Slider and I aren't running as a team for this tournament. Don't worry, we haven't fallen out, we're just having a friendly inter-staff challenge, bringing in our own sponsors and doing things exactly as we want, rather than having to compromise.

So far Slider is ahead on what we both deem a technicality. The racing itself is very close, our initial...

SBR Would like to congratulate Team Boss Sam Billing1991 on his first ever TORA Victory and the first overal Victory for SBR!!

Well Done Sam!!!

With that Victory Sam should take the Lead in the HRC Championship standings!!

Round 1 Round up:

As reported in my last update there were major problems leading up to the start of the Rally, With the origional car banned a new car had to be found, dialled in and all of the TORA paper work had to be put in order all within just 8 Hours of the meeting starting. Not the best of starts, however Slider managed to find a new car with massive help from his title sponsor Rockstar Energy Drinks who provided Slider with Tanner Fousts old Subaru Impreza WRX STi '05 which he campaigned in Rally America and drove to A Gold and a Silver Medal in the X Games...

Yesterday was the first round of the Touring Car Masters, which was the debut race of the SBR/Mercedes race car. After a shaky start due to the new signing in procedure and missing qualifying, Sam Billing put up a fight for the whole night to take a midfield finish of 4-4-3, meaning 13th overall.

Starting at the back in race 1 swift progress was made for all of one lap, before catching the aftermath of an unwarned 2 car crash at the first chicane, resulting in a safety car period. The #220 car pitted and got off to a decent re-entry to the race, fighting hard to take 4th in the first...

SBR driver Chad Wilson is wondering if he has the time to race in this seasons LMS after a strong 2nd place in last years GT3 race at suzkua. The start time is too early if he wishes to make the quli and could have to strart from the very back even if he makes the start. This is the same reason which has stopped Wilson from this RBR rally duties.

On The 24th January, the day of the First event, Slider S15 was informed that his 207 Super 2000 had been BANNED under some last minuet rule changes.

Horrified, Slider S15 Immediately Informed main sponsor Rockstar Energy drink that he would have to pull out of the Rally as his car had been Disqualified. However Rockstar Energy Drinks Came to the rescuse and Found a new car for Slider to Drive... The EX-Tanner Foust Rally America Subaru Impreza WRX STi '05. The Same car which Piloted Foust to an X-Games Rally Gold!

The car was immediately pulled out of the Rockstar's Warehouse...

On Sunday the 24th January 2010, at 10pm….ish, eight drivers fearlessly started the SBR 800K Challenge. The objective was simple, get as many people as possible to break the 100,000 drift points in one lap achievement at once and achieve an 800,000 point Lobby. Contesting this (in order of the Grid in the picture above) was XTI Nightrider, Richy59, Ianmr, XTI Avenger,...
