Some don't have it on their wing. Which I still want to know why is there a numberboard on the wing?
Perhaps an idea to increase the green square where you may put your numberboard.

Wizard, if yours is the same as Mad Dogs, then it's fine.

As for the door boards, I'm not going to be picky about where they are placed so as long as they are near the correct area, not over/undersized and have the correct font which I think is Upper Letter 1.

Also TORA requires them to be uniform because this is a sanctioned main series and can be broadcast. You don't see any other series with mismatched boards.

v Hurricane v wrote:After looking at all the replays for the first race. I have noticed some things about the cars. Quite a few drivers that are registered in the series and raced in Meeting 1 do not either have the series numberboards in the correct place, running incorrect numberboards or don't have them at all! It is CLEARLY stated in the rules under the 2014 TORA Spec Cup Series 3 Cup 2 - Liveries and Numberboards link what boards should be run and are mandatory, where they go on the car and how to get them. The rule didn't just magically pop up overnight gentlemen. It has been up there for now close to 5 weeks since I announced the series. Not having the correct numberboards is an SI penalty and can be enforced.

So from here on out, I will go through every replay. which means taking time out of my day top do this. Which in turn keeps me from doing other things here at TORA to make racing more enjoyable. Anyone that has an incorrect placement or missing series vinyl as stated in the rules, I will have an SI entered against that driver. And will continue to enter an SI until the issue is fixed or that you have enough SI's against you that you start getting disqualified from races.

As far as getting the series vinyl's. If you cannot get them from myself. Please ask another driver, CT, Marshal, Steward or one of my teammates for them. Just be sure when you ask remember you must be on that persons friends list to get them.

So please get them corrected asap!!

Rules are rules and that's fine, but if we are trying to replicate real life events here then surely a late entry fee would be applicable, I turned up at Brands Hatch and my team had took the race car down in the lorry (One massive cost in itself) went to sign in on the Saturday after testing on Friday and I hadn't sent the form off, all that was require was a £100 late entry fee charge, i'd of paid 20million in game credits to race last night just don't see how it could cost that much extra time, admin set-up etc, it's one 9 letter name, a 3 digit number and a 13 letter team name to type in at worst but it could even be copied and pasted. I had people turn up for my Twingo Cup that weren't signed in and it cost me naff all I just let them race, i'm not actually annoyed know (I was last night) i'm more disappointed in how this is meant to be 'real life racing' while on a sim in essence, yet some simple rules that are allowed in real life racing aren't followed. Rant over, to save the hassle next week Haydo is signing me in, hope you all had good races, I went and did some B Class public hoppers and destroyed everybody with 14 wins out of 15

Braking at either the apex or about 1000 feet back while hooking back and forth makes you a complete road block and impossible to get around.  The constant irrelevant banter is a distraction as well but not the issue today.

That's all part of racing though, some people find it quicker going round corners using different lines and it could also be down to a setup, like when i first got the car i couldn't go flat out round half the corners and had to brake in the middle for a good time.
If you cant pass them straight away, just follow them for a few laps, work out what they're doing and their week spot and then take advantage.
