try concrete blocks and if that dont work just had the kitchen sink lol
will send you a stable diff setting

Hey guys. I'm just wondering how exactly does the points system work?

Why what's wrong

It will be 150 for first then drops down like the gts used to be, the points will be updated soon. Sorry for the delay

format changing from 60 min sprint to 41 laps of Hockenheim national this will still be 50/60 mins of racing.

Any of you guys have tips for tuning? I'm just a beginner at it and I went to the Forza forums and watched a couple of videos about tuning, but I still seem to not get it...

Not wrong just interested.

Well you picked one he11 of a car to learn on.... I can send you a tune... I'll put it in the SF as well if anyone is looking. Actually, Maybe I'll just post it here... Perhaps we could do some sort of TORA mind meld and come up with something drivable... One thing I will say, diff settings are crucial as is brake and accelerator application...

Good thinking Posimosh. This will be a great idea... You have my 100% support on this matter.

Should be good to get back into a GT car again!

Deceleration diff is crucial to get a decent turn in, but I've actually been running 100% acceleration diff, although I do this to nearly every car

AERO
Full F/R (but if the car is unstable lower the front Aero 10-20 Lb/sq in. If you are feeling confident, lower both to about half, then lower the real another 10-15).
BRAKING
45% if you want stable and you like to brake in a straight line, go with like 42% if you are confident and want to extract the most out of this car on this track... Only problem with moving it back is it makes this car with a wild rear end even more wild under braking.)

This tune is also in my SF

What do you mean by full aero (keep it as is)? I also tried your tune in the SF and I'm getting a bit faster thanks! but, I can't seem to get my braking right on turn 5-6, I feel like I'm braking too early but when i brake late , I go off-track...

My setup is much softer with springs around 350 - 400 and anti roll around 5-10 ( cant quite remember actual values). I dunno if its faster or im just used to it now, but it seems to help with the grip in the middle of the corners.

I struggle with that corner too; I don't have a breaking reference for it so its always a bit of a guess. Try using the breaking line then pick a point on that to break it may help.

Hey LMR, I put IN in the thread but my name isn´t in the Live Timing. Whats happening?

EDIT: Forget it, I read the list again and I´m there.

Late home, can you make sure you add me to the back of the grid please? Last lobby back of the grid would be super.

Cheers

Yeti

stupid question, but i can't find anywhere in the rules that say whether it's a rolling start or not?
so is it rolling/stationary

Feeling ill, not racing tonight, not long home from work either, probs going to back out its too soon after work to be racing, sorry guys !

another bad night for me, started well in lobby C from 5th to 3rd, then I have to let my brother in and I tumbled down the order completely to 11th,

I was able to climb my way back up to 5th, then something else happened at that time I was completely frustrated by now........in the end I just left before I do something stupid and crash in to someone............

TWO VERY BAD MEETING EVER ON TORA AND IM TRYING TO FLIPING RACE..................

Had a shocking qualifying, was a whole second slower than usual so i qualified in lobby C, I did got pole however, first TORA pole ever,
then started and pulled away from the start, and won by over 30 seconds,
which means i got my first pole (for any lobby), first win (for any lobby) and first double (for any lobby) in 1 race meeting
pretty good racing weekend i'd say

i do however feel like i 'cheated the system' because i did poorly in qualifying, then managed to go 1.3 seconds quicker in the race. i know i didn't cheat the system, i pushed during qualifying, but still,
thanks to everyone in Lobby C, was great spacial awareness when getting lapped/lapping and was clean (from what i saw)
thanks to Trash for hosting, bring on the next race

cheers trash for hosting lobby c instead of racing

People saying they are doing 1:25's around Hockenheim and then no one breaks into the 25's in Quali
