Got to agree Jonno it was real fun as usual mate and it was clean racing, really enjoyed it mate :)As MAB said... Lobby E was indeed a blast, everything ran very smoothly tonight and the racing in the lobby was of a great standard, thanks MAB for hosting and thanks Hunty for relaying what MAB said because at times I cant hear anything MAB is saying in the lobby, not sure if its your mic MAB or my connection but either way thankfully Hunty helped out.

As for this in house bickering between TORA staff, seriously, I thought I was the upfront, outspoken one here who says it as it is but wow guys your really going for it.

Anyway back to lobby E. Thanks to everyone who raced lobby E tonight. Once again, it was fun and to be honest its probably the most enjoyable race I've had whilst on TORA, even though I hate that Nurb GP track, anyway thanks guys for making it fun. I will say one thing though, tonight I was offended as I didn't expect a fellow TORA member to behave in such a way. I wont go into detail but would like the person who made a certain remark to carefully read this. Whomever it was mouthing in the background briefly about "irish ______" just before the start of race two in lobby E can I just remind you without getting into too much political teachings... Northern Ireland is part of the UK and therefore I hold a British passport which makes me British, not irish. So whoever it was who had a quick, muffled, sly, little mouth off aimed at me let me ask you this... Are the people of Gibraltar Spanish? are the people on the Falklands Argentinian? If you have something to say your very welcome to PM me to discuss your remark further, else you can kindly button it and stop offending as I believe such behaviour is actually one of the very things that TORA's R&R's state will not be tolerated.
To the TORA staff reading, I apologise for this public post and would have preferred to have had such discussion privately but as I don't know who it was in lobby E who had a quick little dig I therefore cannot PM that person, yes I was offended.

Right just to clear it up (not directed at you but was mentioned earlier) there is NO bickering between TORA Staff in here, yes a Representative for the Media team made a statement and yes it was defended by a CT at the time, it was not bickering as such just clearing a point, whether it was neccessary to post in that manner is another question.

As for the offense recieved by a driver in a race lobby, please PM me details of what you have and I will review it.

Other than that I hope everyone who raced enjoyed themselves, and I certainly have great respect for everyone in A lobby, thanks to Hayden (Mad Dog) for hosting, Joito for hauling a** and Koneig/Belfast who put up a fight.

It was a close one Jonno but I checked and you most defnitely beat me across the line fair and square. Brilliant mate, I did laugh afterwards.

Hey guys,

due to a real life situation that occurred, photos from this round will take some time to arrive. I'll check out replays on the storefront during the week.

Nice capture mate. It looks like one of those slow motion finishing line pictures from the winter olympics    Nah you got it well and truly mate but it was close alright. Well done Jonno.

some good battles all the way down the field,i manged to get into 2nd before the pit window closed but went off near the pits and then manged to get 5th which isnt to shabby.

A round to forget.

1. My car just feels awfull around here. (I was really surprised to be starting 4th.)
2. I was on the outside of HMR Motorhead at the second corner (first racing lap), went to wide and came on the sticky tarmac. Back to 9th.
3. Could pass Ant R pretty quickly and then I was stuck behind Blue Jabber. Eventually lost my car through the quick chicane after the hairpin. Now 10th.
4. Then in Lap 10 I lagged out. Can't remember the last time I lagged out.
5. My lag out means I'll be starting at the back for the second race, instead of 2nd.
6. And let's not forget my Championship fight is over because of it.

Just watched the replay and done the maths Jonno and it works out there was seventeen thousands of a second between the two cars crossing the line.

I was happy with qualifying and finishing 2nd. For the 2nd time this season, I had nothing for Mad Dogs Ferrari so I was quite pleased with 2nd. The chase with II AntR II in race 2 was epic. Didn't think I was going to catch you in time!

It was also very, very nice and refreshing to see that everyone was very calm and patient in turn 1 on both starts! Great racing everyone!

Being stuck behind someone definitely isn't fun

thats not very much in it lol hope next race is a good one

Good racing last night in lobby B. The sprint was a distaster; my driving was all over the place and then I got it all wrong in the fast uphill left/right chicane and threw away 3rd place. :(did manage to get Blade's Corvette by a nose at the line for 5th though

Did better in the feature; drove around dave sp2 in turn two and had him chasing me all the way to the finish after the 'stops. Better luck next time fella

Haha rainone!! Sorry for that!  Was a good fight!

What other word(s) can you use for 'stuck behind someone.' It sounds so negative, but in many times it isn't because it's great racing. Stuck just sounds negative in those circumstances,

Haha, it was all fun...with a good bit of frustration.   You could have said "you were listening to a fantastic Italian sympathy that got very old after a few laps."
