ErebusV8 wrote:finally did a good stint
220 miles, was at pit lane entry with the next mile marker being at porsche curves.
damage free, finished 3rd, LMP drivers were fantastic (sorry for the scare Bellmond)
great way to finish my Le Mans, and now commentary for the final stint

U had a nightmare during he night mate

B lobby started without me after I had waited for an invite for an hour and a half  

Ffs.... i specifically asked for an invite to be sent to you for the final stint.

It was sent, I went and checked my messages just after half past 1, accepted the invite but they were already 10 mins in

What the hell?!    

Great job anyway you two, you've made me a very proud team boss!

I think it was just bad timing to be honest, someone posted it was gonna start at 2pm. Its a shame but never mind. Good job THO Shooter

Okay, cheers

Was mint in the end, we couldn't do much to alleviate the early delays it seemed but kudos for lot losing any more time there

We made it difficult for ourselves in our stints but there were equal heroics to make it back up. Let's see what the final results say

As a first time doing an Endurance race and first race on TORA i would like to say that it was one of the best things ive done in competitive racing. All host and admins did a good job in organizing this event. I'll definitely come back next year whether its on Project Cars or FM5.

I for one, +1 this

Thank You TORA and B Lobby for making 5-8 AM Sat and 1:30-7:30 AM Sun worth it!

I almost didn't race considering what else I had planned for the weekend, but thanks to Hawk Performance/NSA for adding me to their team. That car was fast! (IMO).

Of course, Shooter should be given an honor. Perhaps he, or all drivers who drove 10 hours or more should be honored for their dedication to the race and their teams.

2 Hours and 15 minute battle with CRA Urban. Fantastic.  Well done Urban, for beating me in the final stint by 57 feet.

The best thing about the B Lobby throughout was the sensible driving and patience shown by the LMP drivers when overtakign the GTE cars! Great racing from everyone and thanks for making a rookie TORA member feel welcome

Shame my team mates decided to not show up

I am extremely happy with the efforts put forth by everyone in the B Lobby, I met lots of new to TORA racers, most for the first time, and am very happy that they are leaving the event wanting more of what TORA has to offer.

Well done lads!   

First of all thanks to everyone who hosted and participated over the last 2 days. I have really enjoyed myself in my first event of such kind. Special shoutouts to Zeta and Technological and the rest of the stream team, the FailRace support team pretty much took over the twitch chat
Thanks to everyone who hosted the stints and another shout out to my mate who did nearly 14 hours and goes by the name of THO Shooter. Also to my team mate xxJiMbObJ0nEsxx who took up my stint due to me being sleep deprived and unable to race pulling of an early morning triple stint. Myself and my team enjoyed a great 24 hour long battle with HMR Motorsport and the Barry Scott team where the winner of us was decided in the last stint where unfortunately our own driver lost control of the car in the Porsche curves and crashed. We are all extremely happy with the result though of 3rd in our first endurance event and for one there first TORA event. We all really look forward and cannot wait for the next endurance race in the tec 2014 season and will be there for sure. Great job to the guys over at Benedict racing running a charity sponsor this year. I would finally like to thank all of the staff and people involved in making this event happen, it was really worth it.   

As someone who has a huge love for Le Mans, it was a great privilege to be able to race, especially when this was my first TORA endurance event, and only my second ever race with TORA. Great racing in B lobby, and apologies to the people who had to put up with my extremely frustrated self during stint 6!  

Thank you to Benedict Racing for giving me the opportunity to race in the first place, and to the TORA staff and lobby hosts who kept everything together! Also, congrats to RGL Racing for coming out on top in B lobby.

My 2nd le mans and was even better than my first one very well organised event well done hosts and organisers we was in for a shout of a podoum but our own miss fortune ended that but onto silverstone

id like to thank RGL racing for letting me racing for them,i had some good battles in lobby B

I just want to echo the thoughts of everyone and say that I found this event to be a great success. A big thanks and a pat on the back to all those involved in the organising, planning and the running of the event.

This was my first endurance event and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I had some good pace in my stints although I did have a small technical issue in stint 3 that cost me around 20 seconds. Technical issue was my tv switching itself off due to inactivity lol. I had to pull off at the first corner whilst I frantically looked for the tv remote.

I'm not sure where we have finished yet but it was a good team effort, glad to have been part of it.

Great job guys.
