2014 TORA Spec Series 3 Cup 3 - General Discussion

Best to place it on the A button and have your gears on X and B  

I think most people use the clutch, I have the clutch set as A button and use B+X to change gears.

Good Racing tonight guys I hope everybody enjoyed themselves & I'll see you at Hockenheim next week

So bummed I couldn't make it today. Hopefully next week works.

I'm sorry for my connection issues in the lobby tonight, I thought my router was set up correctly but it seems the settings got messed up. Seems like I fixed it though, I've been jumping between online lobbies flawlessly later.
See you in Hockenheim!

Rolled it on last lap

Great racing last night, highlight of 5 wide going into the first corner. Shame it was restarted - no replay.

Caught a bit of lag on the restart which put me back to the back, had some good battles on the way through to 3rd.

did try some driving with the clutch and it doesn't feel too bad at all, its kinda like iracing.......just need help with setup mainly

What sort of times are people getting on Hockenheim?

What time is the race tommarow?

8 pm matey

All I can say was tonight was very disappointing. The amount of respect shown by some certain people was very poor and the fact that some people also haven't got the ability to be quiet whilst racing also disappointed me (and cost me a win). On the racing front, congrats to Mad Dog and Robert on the wins and thanks to Mad Dog for hosting tonight. Hope standards are better next week

was lucky to get 3rd, although I will admit I may have taken too many advantages at turn one..........also my apologies to HCR Pinto power aswell, I have sat down (or Skype) and went over to eddie and Joshua on how they did and just asked them to keep an eye on there surroundings like lapped traffic........

these two r definatley proper rookies in tora (Joshua is a rookie more on forza 4 mainly but he can drive since he did the Xcal events in iracing)

From what I've heard the issue with eddie was that someone asked him to be quiet and he decided to scream down the mic, before trying to take everyone off who laps him (from me watching the replay at the request of my drivers)

That isn't a case of being a rookie, it's a case of generally being deliberately inconsiderate.

Cheers mate, we appreciate it!

Have to say last nights racing in race 2 was poor maybe we should consider splitting the lobby to avoid the huge differences in lap time we saw last night

Personally I dont see why the grid should have to be split. Big grids make for excellent racing. Poor driving should be punished and if theres any further instances from the same people they should be immediately removed. Being new is no excuse.

Just an idea! It must have some weight keeping lap times in lobbies as close as possible, many series have ways to prevent large gaps in lap times across the grid! Big grids are not required for excellent racing aslong as there are drivers close to each other on track.

Having said that your right the driving standards do need looking at!! Being new isnt really an excuse!!

Ok guys, time to stop hating now. Yes driving standards wasnt up to the expectation of the regulars here but dont forget, we all had to start somewhere. This is the place to be to learn and move up in the ranks surely?

Im by no means sticking up for anyone but the point is. Give them a break. They are very new and starting out here should be appraised. Yes things could have been dealt with differently by both drivers on the noise front. But whats done is done. It will be sorted with the right method.

I Would like to offer a training program for both of the new dirvers in the lobby last night in terms of track knowledge. The correct lines to take. How to postion the car on the track. And what to do when cars are around you on track. I will sit there aslong as it takes to see these drivers improve and become better racers not only for their competitors, but for themselfs aswell.

All it takes is a little helping hand and some training to help these guys out.

On a side note there was some fantastic racing throughout and im looking forward to next weeks racing.

Hang on Shooter, who's hatin?? It was simply a suggestion thqt i then expanded on to.explain a little more to Micheal! I was certainly in their shoes 3yrs or so ago so I totally understand!

These are just suggestions on how to move forward

+1 chris

I was reffering to the fact from what was said verbally last night.

As said my offer will stand for training. But at no point will the training will be afiliated with Team HARD Online.

I wasnt hating. I just dont think anyone should in any way "justify" (and loosely i will add) the behaviour displayed "because they are new to TORA". Take a look at GXRkartingkid and Kartchamp. First TORA race TCC Top lobby running right up there with the big guns.

I'm not suggesting for a minute that they should be permanently banned or anything but it needs firm action, not nanny-state rubbish
