What a shame

Devalues the TEC Championship element for me, and many others.

Looks like at least one of the BG's championship quest is over.

Though we didn't run sebring we have run lamans and Road America...where we got second I feel we have earned the rite to compete

Are people still complaining?! Seriously guys its done, next time just be a bit quicker entering

by LastNewtStandin Tue 3 Sep 2013 - 12:27

The natural progression for the next two rounds should be.

LMP to GTE
GTE to TCC

Anyone wanting to go from the slower class to the faster class were always going to have trouble getting a car really.

Are you being [Censored] serious? I check TORA most days but didn't check it for 1 day and that was the day registration was announced and then opened. You would be complaining just as much if you was in this situation. With past TEC events we have been aware of when registration would be open at least a week before it does. Because of this all the hard work TG put into prepping our GT car has gone down the drain, our car was painted, tuned & running quicker than anything that has been posted on the site. This is a shitty situation and now TG isn't even running a team car for this event.

Well Hayden it looks like you guys are fast on track but i guess signing up for races isnt the Turkish Gamers strong point Razz

Says in the Original Post on the Reg thread Entries will open Wednesday 28th August at 9pm BST

everyone is / was in the same boat, anyone could've missed out. It's nearly a week now since entries opened and people are still complaining about it. Perhaps for next time admin could private message everyone giving a weeks notice

Wednesday Nights are busy in the kebab house. Neutral

I think everyone should stop moaning about this now and move on.

There are a lot of people in the same boat even staff. Myself and Richy for example help set the whole thing up and run it, we won most of the GT races last yet because we were both busy when the sign ups opened we can't defend our challenge in GTs from last year and now have to run in the lower class.

We will however be looking at this issue as people posting 4-5 entries at once is not ideal and we will be looking whether it would work to have some teams get auto entries into the top classes. I.E. one team from each of the top runners or however it would work (would need to look into that in more detail). We also hope that with Forza 4 we can have more cars in each lobby allowing us to increase the entry list without it causing an evening being management nightmare for staff.

Once again we have listened to everyone’s concerns and will look to address this for next year to once again improve and streamline the event and the TORA experience.

However in the mean time if you do have any relevant suggests please get in touch at let us know.

You can still race. It's not closed completely, are people forgetting that?

by TheAngryPudding Tue 3 Sep 2013 - 15:12

Not forgetting, either very anti Touring Cars or cutting noses off to spite face

Gotta remember the Prototype drivers need a home for the latter races! And I sure as hell ain't driving them slow class cars

Shouldn't the qualifying thread be open? it says 1st September......

by LastNewtStandin Wed 4 Sep 2013 - 21:51

The qually sign up has a message saying teams/drivers be prepared to host.

An idea for this or future events could be to have a tick box on entry forms asking if drivers have a valid host type connection and are they willing to host. Even just a thread perhaps?

Just a thought

by **CQR Rogue** Wed 4 Sep 2013 - 22:10

^^ Yep good idea

by theboomeranga Wed 4 Sep 2013 - 22:14
