Re: TORA Charity Event - 1000km of Bathurst - General Discussion

After a bit of lapping Laguna Seca in the various builds of V8 Supercars that I have raced over the years, I have decided that IF we do the support race, it will be with the following:

Full width Front/Rear Tires
Race Brakes
Race Driveline
Rims of your choice
Full tuning

This levels the PI, and makes the cars more driveable, which should make for a more enjoyable race experience for all.

I have just told sbriggs by PM, that I might rethink the offer that was submitted for official photomode coverage. However if I decide to do unofficial coverage, that I can do in my spare time.

Then what are the chances of being sent a replay from the top lobby, seeing how we can save replays now.

No idea if replays can be "gifted", but most likely "shared" so you can find them and snap away to your heart's content!

Is there any mandatory TORA numberboards that we need? Or just our TORA number?

by **CQR Aero** Sat 8 Feb 2014 - 21:13

Just use your TORA number. There is a British Heart Foundation logo on my shared vinyls if you want to put that on (would be good if you could please). Remember your car (both drivers) is #57

Anyone fancy running a few laps tonight? I'm going to jump on at around 20:00 GMT, and it would be good to see how the cars run in traffic etc and also get some pre-race photos/videos going.

Will the qualification session results be posted up once they've been completed?

Yes. As with TEC, I don't want to give the people who qualify later an advantage by seeing a "target time" at the start of the week and then working towards beating that whilst the people who've already qualified are not allowed to "go again" and improve their times.

Can't make a single stint? I've told other people "no" and it really is meant to be a 2-driver event I'm afraid (3 stints max per driver).

by HCR Bellmond Fri 21 Feb 2014 - 23:36

No cant do any, Happy to get 4th in quali. Who are the people you said no to?? Do you think any will wanna do a stint or 2??

by **CQR Aero** Fri 21 Feb 2014 - 23:49

Well Simon asked if he could do the whole thing on his own to which I said no. He now has a team mate. One potential person you could ask - TG Takumi, who lost his co-driver.

Thats great cheers if he dosent want to race can i just run the first or last 3 stints??

Of course. If you do the first 3, something may come up where Blaze or Takumi might be able to step in (just thinking out loud).

by HCR Bellmond Sat 22 Feb 2014 - 0:36

Cool just really want to race if you cant tell Smile

not dont a TORA race on FM5 yet

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Sat 22 Feb 2014 - 1:10

Bellmond... I am checking to see "who" I know A) has FM5, B) is competent, C) not neccessary, but is already a TORA member, and D) available on short notice.

My first suggestion would be aidtheace. I know he is on XBone most of the time, has subbed in for my team in a TEC race or two on very short notice, and is blazingly quick. Send him a XBL PM and see if he would/could help you out.

And I will continue the hunt...
