MSA TORA GP General Discussion

Hey guys, how long have the race nights usually taken? I'm asking this because I have been scheduled to work this upcoming Sunday, and I go in at 5 PM EST, and the qualifying starts around 3PM EST. Thanks in advance!

Last race took a bit longer due to splitting the lobby & connection difficulties. But if we only have 1 lobby, then I reckon we could be done in 90 minutes. Providing everyone is online and ready before 8pm

Thank you mate! Ugh I'm going to have too miss this race then :[

need to make up for nurburgring

If you just hang fire for five minutes, I may be able to make qualifying. After disconnecting from wireless, my installation shot up from 5% to 90% in 25 minutes.

lobby open

Invites sent out

will hold for 2 more minutes Kilroy

Ah, doesn't matter anyway, go when you're ready. After installing the whole damn game again, I have to download the updates. I may have to start at the back of the grid depending if I can get through these updates in time before the race starts.

Xbox has had a complete meltdown, taking ages to do anything on the dashboard & now it's refusing to turn on at all. Very angry as this has cost me a good finish in this Championship, I was certainly looking at Top 5, maybe even top 3 if luck went my way. I Quit.

Aside from a lag ram during the formation lap, I tried to avoid whomever I could. I won't hold a grudge, things happen.

Photos coming soon.

disappointed with my driving . felt like maldonodo out there. so many mistakes which cost me the win

Couldn't be happier with my two starts. First one got me 5th before carnage ensued behind.
Second start, I had warmer tyres and just nailed it and was 4th going into Farm before getting absolutely dive bombed from behind. So a lap down before even completing a racing lap was montrously disappointing considering the speed shown in the car.
Managed to unlap a good number of the field and went deep into the race. Pitted, came out and that lobby-wide lag spike meant a ma-hoosive crash with I think BDR BOX, and ANOTHER laps worth of driving with half a car.
Considering I was doing mid to low 32's all race long I think that was a good result gone begging.
Pretty frustrated as I had re-iterated at the start that we had to give space and sadly that's not happened. Obviously, the people involed in the first restart had better luck in the second so I feel pretty hard done by.
Hey-ho. Roll on the next.

Really unlucky Matt. Sorry the second restart was my fault. I had checked up on the start so as not to run over my teammate and got pinned inside through turn two. I was trying to keep left but when I hit the throttle I caught the curb and got kicked out into one of the BDR guys that was trying to get by. Had a good race. Set a PB with a 1:30.5. I was shocked that XPR Eggy caught me after pitting and before I stopped. I really thought I was flying. After my pit stop, things got a little hairier as I seemingly lost the ability to get through Maggots/Becketts cleanly. I got off rhythm. The lag spike came when I was side by side with lapped traffic in Copse. It was a minor miracle to make it out of that without damage! Good racing everyone! Looking forward to Spa.

After rechecking the replay to see what happened during the formation lap:
- I slowed down a bit, person behind me doesn't have time to react, I get rear-ended.

I'm not going to file a S.I, things happen.

Formation lap standards are certainly lacking in all series as a whole at TORA. I'm hoping it either clears up or gets addressed soon. A lot of people are way too close on the parade lap and can't adjust to the changes of speed quick enough & that's how incidents occur.

I'm broadcasting last sundays race on my twitch channel right now

twitch.tv/xprdevil

ok, my broadcast is unwatchable due to a wireless connection making it super laggy. I'll try a re-run later today/tomorrow. Some very close racing and definitely worth watching

past eggy on the outside
season is half complete

and you just "happen" to catch my crash in that clip too haha.

Very nice overtaking though. I was sooo so gutted to spin on that kerb. I was hoping to take a podium and fight with you and eggy for the whole race.

SPA is MINE   

I can't believe I've missed most of the season due to work and other things    I hope to make the last 3 rounds!

Got my fingers crossed for ya
