2014 TORA Spec Cup Season 1 - General Discussion

Bloody Catalunya, useless track.

For replays being uploaded to the storefront, I'll get to taking photos on Friday.

well thats 2 for 2 laggouts lets see if its 3 from 3. invite me back plz

Hurricane, PM'd you, thanks.

Yep 3 for 3 laggouts and more then 1 of us got lagg bombed hard.
Sorry to say but by far the worst night for me yet.

But on to the next race.

Lobby D absolute nightmare! Lagging from one person in particular caused countless damage to others in the lobby and then the same person who lagged all the way through race one and two came up behind me in 5th place and completely jumps my car to gain a position through lag! Surely when you gain a position through lag, as you never actually drove around the car in front, points aren't given for that position? Hell I understand lag happens to us all but when one person in particular lags through two races surely they should be asked to leave the lobby. Gladly other lobby members behind also seen this amazing new way of overtaking!

Didn't at any point say it was your fault. I clearly said that it happens to us all but when one car completely jumps another to gain a place and damages countless others in the lobby cars then surely they would know something wasn't right. I, at no point stated it was YOUR fault but as you've replied and quoted me I assume you then know about your lag tonight. Lag happens to us all, hell I missed quali tonight because my connection suddenly dropped out just as we were about to go into quali, it happens to everyone at some point so do think I was saying it was your fault.

Completely forgot about this. Was applying for a job. Hopefully I can make next week.

Lobby c was excellent what a race 1 and 2.  x hurricane x thank you for hosting and thanks to all driver's for a super nights raceing

Lobby D was great was my perspective, the front 3 or 4 in both races pulled away so not fully aware of what happened behind though heard about problems with lag. Very chaotic start to race 2 but other than that some good clean racing, especially from G0TTY and hunty. Great race guys

Lobby C replays uploaded to s/f Zeta.

Thanks to Hurricane for hosting lobby c tonight, had two good close races tonight with some real tight battles. Thanks to rondanger and Smurfy for the battles, was fun.

~sky~

Race 1 in Lobby c was a blast. Everyone I was around was respectful and giving room. Race two not so much. See you guys next week.

thanks for hosting last night Wingnut mate all in all a good a lobby race one was really good....as for race 2 a slight trip into the sticky grass spelled the beginning of the end for me really but never mind points on the board for me and my team.
look forward to next week fellas   

Hosts can I remind you that if there is one person with a bad case of lag and it is lag for most of the room you are obliged to ask that person to drop back to a safer place in the field

Think the team standings are wrong bratley sport should be 12th on 509 points

Great racing from all in A Lobby last night! I had a few good battles with PLOW Tubbi with both of our limping cars :razz: and a some side by side action with YMGR Bellmond. Great racing from them too and congrats to the podium!

Yay first A Lobby win in a normal series!   But only just!

Qualified 7th and finished race 1 in 6th after battles with Blade and BlueJabber. Started race 2 from 4th to take the win, but couldn't have been done without massive help from Bellmond, thanks brudda!   

To echo everyone elses words, thank you to Wingnut for smooth running of the lobby, everyone drove well with minimal incidents, also didn't notice any lag. Congrats to podium placers. Happy to be currently 2nd in both drivers' and teams' championships!

  

Frustrating................
Qualy'd 4th (I think) for B lobby , but then unable to connect for race 1, thought the decent thing to do was to send a message to CQR Stevie to start with out me and I would join for race 2...thanks to the guys who kept sending me invites for the lobby
Started back of grid for race 2 , gained a few places and was s5teady away , made a mistake on the final chicane and cut the corner.....no advantage gained but some one behind me yelled that that was unfair, so when I got on the straight I pulled over and let the yeller go by....seemed the decent thing to do to avoid a stewards enquiry , so managed to catch up and pass a few cars , then someone dive bombed down the inside on the tight left hander before the chicane complex and took out 2 or 3 cars narrowly missing me, seemed a bit desperate ?
All in all a frustrating night , but a word to who ever was whinging on about their car not being fast enough , how they weren't going to race in this series again , how they didn't like TORA etc, if its that bad do us all a favour and drop from the race , collect your thoughts and come back another day.........
Cheers
