Hey guys.

Firstly thank you to all who took part, hosted and just helped out in anyway shape for form. Couldn't have done it without you! So thank you.


But heres the seriously bit........

Most memorable moment of the series?


Who impressed you or stood out the most?


What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?   

What did you like about the series and why?
It had GT cars. GT cars are cool.

What didn't you like about it and why?
Viper's power handicap. Couldn't think of anything else to hate about the series, so I hated on something that didn't affect me.

Most memorable moment of the series?
JamesHall94 two-wheeling it at Nordschliefe.

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
I did because I'm very self centered.   

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?
Multi-class racing and have one race of about an hour.

What did you like about the series and why?
GT cars are a good change up from the LMPs that i drive all the time.

What didn't you like about it and why?
The aston, but i hear thats changing.
Qualifying. I found it hard to race and qualifying because of prior commitments. If there was a session the day before it would be helpful.

Most memorable moment of the series?
The closeness in B lobby at catalunya. You could throw a blanket over 5 or 6 cars.

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
Only making 2 races it wouldnt be fair to answer.

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?
I liked Bandits idea,but maybe using GTE cars and GT3 cars. Not a huge difference but you dont need to worry about balancing the GT3 cars into the GTE grid.

What did you like about the series and why?

Was gutted that I missed TORA GT S10 so was longing for an all-GT grid after my debut season in ISCC. It turned out better than I could ever have imagined

What didn't you like about it and why?

The only flaw in my opinion was the lack of staff behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. No one's at fault here though; and I truely recognise that the CTs that did lend a hand performed minor miracles with limited help.

Most memorable moment of the series?

Managing to creep into Lobby A on two occasions was a big moment for me; but had a great scrap with a pair of Porsches at Hockenheim that was brilliant!

Who impressed you or stood out the most?

Was really impressed by a lot of people on track; but to name a few: ShrinkingSteven, VAMR Wilson, dave sp2 and also my team mate II AntR II. First full season together and it already seems to be a strong combination!

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?

NAGT

What did you like about the series and why?

- GT cars make for some amazing racing. That mixed with TORA's best and some of the best this games ever seen, made it a properly epic series.


What didn't you like about it and why?

- Reverse grid was nothing but problems and had too much of a negative influence on the championship battle.

- Standing start separated the mid/rear engine cars too much from the front engine. It gave a huge advantage to select cars that already had an advantage in race battling. Rolling starts are cleaner and make for a far more equal start.


Most memorable moment of the series?

- Losing my chance at the championship due to a laggout in round 2.

- When LMR qualified and finished 1,2,3,4,5 in round 3 at Mugello.


Who impressed you or stood out the most?

- II AntR II was up there all season representing the Lambo along with IBlueIJaBBRexI. Was quite surprised by his pace.

- rainonef1 put in such a great performance all season, it was a pleasure to have him as a teammate!

- ONR Faith's pace today was amazing considering he had a bunch of aero damage from the drop of the flag.


What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?  

- 1 Longer Race

- Standard Grid Procedure

- Rolling Starts  

- Mix the Asian and American tracks for the next season!

What did you like about the series and why?
Reversed Grid & 2 Races. This made you actually have to race people where as at nurburgring it was just a procession of cars due to the fact it being one longer race.

What didn't you like about it and why?
Standing Starts. seemed a bit unfair on the front engined cars. I wasn't complaining though!

Most memorable moment of the series?
Blade at race 1 of hockenhiem until he lagged out.
Lap 1 @ Nurb GP Race 2

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
Blade at hockenhiem, said he wasn't too comfortable in GT cars but went from 13th to 6th in the first race.
Hamish & Super T for being so consistant throughout the series

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?  
KEEP 2 RACES!

What did you like about the series and why?

I had lot's of joy in this series, close and clean racing    
I also loved to drive the Lambo..

What didn't you like about it and why?

There is not much to say here, but I will put something..
 
What I didn't like was the last race, it was pushed back to after Sebring and then it was pushed back to the original date..
And the qualifying procedure of the last race..  
I think there is room for improvement there  

And the standing starts where not my favorite, there are always cars lagging on the grid, and with that alot of restarts during the hole season..

Most memorable moment of the series?

Our battle on Catalunya with LMR Bandit..

Who impressed you or stood out the most?

Only one word,  LMR       Great job guys..  
Aslo big thanks to ShrinkingSteven for running this series    

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?

1)  Rolling Starts
2)  No reversed grid in the second race..  There where not that many lobbies, so sometimes there was a big difference in laptimes between the first and the last in a lobby..  If you have more lobbies the times will be closer..  
Maybe it's worth thinkink about do the reversed grid with let's say only the first 6 on the grid ( I know this is a bit difficult of course to set the grid like that, but I think you will have lesser crashes..
Or, the easiest solution is how they did it in the BG McLaren Cup   
I think that worked quite well

A season in the Corvette, and I think you'd feel differently. The ring was only fair after the butchering at Hockenheim and Nurb GP. Good fun all season Hayden. Was a pleasure!

What did you like about the series and why?
- Mostly everything I didn't list in the question below.

What didn't you like about it and why?
- NO ABRUZZI!!! DAMN YOU WARSPITE!!!!
- Standing starts, rear/mid engined cars had a huge advantage over front engined cars.
- Why is there no Le Mans in an European GT series????
- The changing rules during the series. This shouldn't happen. It happens a lot at TORA, I don't like it. Just keep to the rules and schedule you created.

Most memorable moment of the series?
- My lag out at Nürburgring.
- HCR Mad Dog going from the back of the grid to 4th after 2 corners at Nürburgring (and me trying to follow him! lol ).

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
- LMR in general. Especially rainonef1, haven't raced with him that much and didn't know how quick he could be in a GT car. So I was surprised in a positive way to see him racing at the top.

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?
- ABRUZZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Rolling starts.

What did you like about the series and why?
It was fun to run in. Probably the best of the GT series I've ran in so far.

What didn't you like about it and why?
All of the tracks lol.

Most memorable moment of the series?
Nurburgring in A lobby enjoying a nice sunny drive with Koenigsegg behind trying to pass and crashing behind me that was unlucky koenigsegg was a shame it was getting fun, and Warspite telling me I was holding him up at the end although I was 200ft ahead lol. but other than that every race was fun a lot of Sunday drives throughout.

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
II AntR II, ShrinkingSteven and Joito for definite all showed brute pace in there cars throughout the season.

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?
more races and better tracks lol.

I doubt that, I've been in that position in different series & I understand where you're coming from but the dicing with drivers you would never see in the lobby is a bonus in my eyes. As for the racing it's always a pleasure to try and compete with you guys when we step into LMR's office!

What did you like about the series and why?
GT cars are fun (way better than LMPCs) and very competitive.


What didn't you like about it and why?
I didn´t like the attempts to the change the schedule several times and the double date change on the last round.


Most memorable moment of the series?
-Deftone´s last chicane/last lap overtake on the Nurburbring F1. It was very CLOSE but very exciting.
-My podium on the Nurburbring F1 Circuit.
-Hockenheim close racing (amazing)
-Lag Problems on Catalunya (lots of cars flying   )


Who impressed you or stood out the most?

- IBlueIJaBBRexI - For being a Sunday Driver   but still managing to be in A Lobby
- LMR Deftone - For having the balls to do that overtake in the chicane (MADNESS) and very fast/consistent pace.
- TweekPunx - For the dedication to the team, car and consistent pace. He was the one to beat during the all Champioship for me and he deserves my thanks for letting me drive the Cat Lambo.
- Koenisegg R - How does a Z4 manage to be that fast? It must be the flying dutchman... on a German car.

(They are in no particular order)

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?
- Mix the Asian and American tracks for the next season (Half season for one the continent, the other half for another)
- Rolling Starts
- Keep the 2 races
- No Multi-Class
- Put the Abruzzi

Lastly, I would to thank everyone on the backstage for doing such an amazing job on this series and to all the drivers, specially in A lobby, for the spectacular racing.

What did you like about the series and why?
I liked pretty much everything about the series. Liked the 2 races, with the 2nd being reverse grid and longer. The pit stop was a good addition making the races a bit tactical too.

What didn't you like about it and why?
The standing starts were a bit unfair for some of the cars. My Porsche had a massive advantage  

Most memorable moment of the series?
Mad dogs start at nurburgring gp, last to 3rd in 3 corners I think.

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
The consistent pace of all the guys at the front, I'll need to try harder next time to keep up with you guys.

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?  
Rolling starts
The abruzzi for konigsegg   

Was a great series guys, glad to have been part of it and will certainly sign up for the NAGT if and when it get organised.

What did you like about the series and why?
2 race format with reverse grid and pit was fantastic.

What didn't you like about it and why?
Nothing about the format. However reliable hosting was an issue and needs to be fixed for any coming events. IMO 2 certified hosts per lobby needs to be the be new standard. Failing to send out invites is not on. If it comes to it Cut down the entry's.

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?
Make it global tracks not just EU or USA and allot more of them say a 12-16 event series. maybe add a car or 2.

What did you like about the series and why?
this was my first full on tora championship, and I loved it! the spread of cars was great, making lobby B first time out at Silverstone was way above my station but made me try harder! making lobby A at catalunya was a high! final round at the ring was terrible!! got lagged into on the straight which ruined the next hour and 20 min, But all in I think I managed to finish in the top 10 overall which is frigging awesome!!   


What didn't you like about it and why?
LAG, in a day of superfast connections and web speeds this sucked and caused so many problems!!!!
the indecision about race starts/formation and race dates etc
why did we have to do 3 german tracks??
                   

Most memorable moment of the series?
making lobby A(obviously) and a mega race 2 with tweek punk at the nurburgring gp, and meeting some great people that share the same passion for racing!


Who impressed you or stood out the most?
warspite and steven for going that extra mile to keep this going as well as it did, tweek for having the idea! and all the hosts and others(mad dog, Wilson and LMR Deftone + others) that helped behind the scene's


What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?  
improve the communication as the stunt with EGT and TCC was embarrassing, I mist a week of testing the ring as I was spending my time at sebring! cost me another lobby A appearance


Basically I loved this championship and had a great time, looking forward to the next one!

LMR Deathtone... I like it!!

I would also like to add that Joito04 was really impressive this season. He was battling at the front for most of them, which was really great to see. Awesome driving this season dude!

What did you like about the series and why?
Really enjoyed this series, liked the two race format and the pitstop race2. Did like the challenge of the reverse grid but also see why people didn't .

What didn't you like about it and why?
Standing starts

Most memorable moment of the series?
Had a lot of good race so can't think of a stand out one, also me and hamish being top 3 in teams till going off the rails at last round

Rolling starts

What did you like about the series and why?
I like the close racing and the tracks that were picked (apart from Catalyna), the GT cars made it a close race,

What didn't you like about it and why?
How long we had to wait to get a the race starting and get invites to our lobby's, also how some people couldnt do a warm up without crashing or hitting someone

Most memorable moment of the series?
My Race 1 start at Mugello where i went from 13th to 5th by Turn 4
Me, Tweek and Super T going 3 wide down the long straight at Hockenheim

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
JamesHall94 due to his great spacial awareness & when to push and when not to
Hunty1981 for calming people down after they have been hit and making them finish the race, and also some great racer to race against
ShrinkingSteven for making a great series and a great driver

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?
American GT Series with the same car list

What did you like about the series and why?
Quality drivers, quality organisation and quality cars.


What didn't you like about it and why?
Poor driving standards not being rectified and the difference in cars/some cars not being competitive.

Most memorable moment of the series?
B Lobby win in race 2 after being harassed all of the race by a grumbling corvette. Tha Noddy Man not pitting, hahahaha. JamesHall's amazing launch at Nurb GP

Who impressed you or stood out the most?
Nobody really stood out as I only did 2 races.

What suggestions would you think could/should happen in possible GT series on TORA?

Wider car choice and GT4, more level playing field for cars.
