About a dozen times by the same two people. I don't have good vibes with LMPC at the moment. Although it has to be noted that Alex P and Mad Dog (before Mad lagged out) were great. Hopefully next race we can get a lobby full of those two characters because it'll be a lovely race that way.

Aside from tht the Aston came alive in the closing stages and really works well on used tyres. If only Forza gave you the option to run scrubbed sets

Good traffic management is debatable. Almost no one called out their passes, and I almost hit several LMPs/LMPCs due to it (by sticking to my line).

Gutted about the race tonight, shocked i was in lobby A tho lol. Nick took me into the first corner, then i was just sat behind Mario while taku was out infront.

Unitl LMPC spun me into the wall about 30 mins into it. boring and slow race from then onwards.

Does anyone have the replay for Q3 CQR Aero's lobby??

I don't appreciate the bashing Motorhead when I've seen worse driving from you.

I did my best to stay out of the way with a wrecked prototype, something you should learn how to do as well.

He hasn't been required to learn how to drive with damage. He keeps his nose clean a massive majority of the time, something that is even more important to learn how to do...

I agree, I'm apologize for what I said wasn't right. Do who was a at fault at le mans??

However, it doesn't give anybody the right to degrade someone else over nothing they know about. The fact is, it was racing incident, or lag related BTW me and laggy. I was far right and he was far left and we still hit each other.

The race will run on an adjusted time, so all racers get their full amount of time on track. A lobby will race for the full amount of time, whilst the lobbies below will then adjust their times accordingly. For example, when a race is set to 1hr 30mins then A lobby will race for the full time, and not 1hr 30mins overall. If the lead car crosses the line at 2mins 30 seconds then the race will finish at 1hr 32mins and 30 seconds. The Lobby Host will be in change of calculating the end time as the field crosses the line.

Lobbies below will be set to adjust their times as seen below:

A lobby will race to full race timer set in calendar
B lobby wil race to 4 seconds earlier set in calendar
C lobby will race to 8 seconds earlier set in calendar
D lobby will race to 12 seconds earlier set in calendar
E lobby will race to 16 seconds earlier set in calendar
F lobby will race to 20 seconds earlier set in calendar
This will ensure qualifying is still as important in any race.

I know that we ran to the 15 minutes remaining mark in Lobby C.

With a start time of 2h 12m 26s I think we should have run to 12m 34s on the clock (2 hours racing and 8 seconds lobby offset - effectively 1hr 59m 52s of racing).
I can see how this would work - Pace lap is the same distance for everyone, pace lap time is then made irrelevent and everyone races for the same time (minus lobby offset).

Is it a case of me reading the rules wrong or lobby hosts not being familiar with the new/revised race procedure?

You can't start a TORA series without an argument at the first race.

Never fails, but I wasn't gonna say anything... Its just maybe next round I won't be so considerate in giving him room if he wants to criticize me for no reason

I was willing to drop it but you adding this just changed my point of view. I'm sure you can join a party with me and Deftone about it. The fact we had a civil and very enjoyable two hours means something.

At least I don't do dick moves on GT cars. Also the fact you took direct offence to it and you immediately thought my rant was aimed at you implies you know you did something that you shouldn't have. Moreover, things could have been a billion times worse. You were trying to do me a favour? By what? Taking me and Deftone out? Were you not satisfied with wrecking one person's race and wanted to add more to your kill count?

It was your own demise anyway.

Ours wasn't lag, I gave you the opportunity to pass before the double left, at which point without the pass being made YOU should of backed off and waited for another chance to pass. It is the responsibility of the LMPC and LMP to pass GT cars without incident.

I had to throw myself over the kerb because you left me with nowhere else to go except the kerb or into you. Which i took the kerb, and bang hit and spun and you just drove on and said nothing. I checked the replay and your lucky it doesn't go that far.

GT cars weigh more than LMPs, by a lot. If you get in the habit of driving inconsiderately towards GT cars, they can just simply give you the same respect, and be effected by it a lot less.

Regardless, it isn't a road anyone wants to go down. As it's very bad sportsmanship.

i'm not talking about the GT cars, i'm refering to motorhead degrading me with comments during the race, which were uncalled for. and then what he said on the forums publicly, pointing to that i didn't deserve to be there

this is going to PMs now, drop it

Hilarious tbh, my sides are splitting. Fact of the matter was, if it was a misjudgement on your part then you should of said something along those lines straight away. Instead of saying nothing until i was asked what happened and blaming me for it. Now your blaming lag ?

Have you even thought about what your typing ? because your messages are coming across quite mixed. Next time if the move isn't 100% safe THEN BACK OF and wait instead of ruining my race and by the sounds of it others as well.

Can we ban this guy from the series, its going to happen again and his childish threats prove it tbh. There is no place in this series or site for lunatic moves and adolescent threats.

i've sent you a PM, i've said what i said in public because i was pissed. and if you knew me, you would know how i race. now lets settle this in private.

btw, ive been racing here longer than you.

by Euphoric Blaze Mon 8 Jul 2013 - 0:45

A pm from Grosjean...

i have overtaken so many cars in that corner in a variety of LMPs that making the move today i had no doubt there was gonna be a problem.

Seriously this kid is amazing, has no care for other drivers. Are the stewards not going to do anything, threats of crashing are in plain sight.
