MSA TORA Maximum Group VAG Trophy - General Discussion

Hey Connor it was fine man no contact no harm done pal

So I'm going to be a bit positive and negative with this one:

Positive for me yesterday was that I finally got to race people for an entire race. It was great battling with RiverMerc as he battled through the field and attempting to halt the crazy acceleration of BigBen's rabbit!

I guess the downside was that it was going to be a losing battle because of frustrating the SEAT is! I didn't really choose this and came in at round three so I probably can't comment much. But when you're in Lobby B and you have people saying "I feel sorry for you in that SEAT", tells you that something is slightly.

In the end though you're always going to get someone that isn't happy about it, and setting up the builds for the cars and the cars to use and the series calender etc etc.... it's a thankless job I assume because there will always be someone unhappy about it! So yeah, thanks for organising it!

It just all bores down to the frustration of going for the different option and it ending up not being what you expected!

It feels like if you don't follow the crowd you get punished. Dont get me wrong my team would never be leading in Lobby A even if we were in the same car but the fact that ALL the cars that aren't golfs were in lobby C last night. Class A is much of the same where it is "drive a scirocco or lose"

i will Tune and Test the Seat tonight before the VAG US and get back to you guys i think thats the 1 car i didnt go all out on

even our seats are slow but fun to drive

sorry lads didnt get time to test the Seat last night and wont be able to until monday as imma be down Silverstone hope 2 see a few of u around

Having raced in a variety of series and championships, you're going to have this problem to some extent unless you balance each individual car. Some championships did that to a good deal of success in the past, with 90-odd cars with set builds, but it's an enormous amount of work and at this stage with the numbers moving to FM5 it's probably unrealistic to expect any more than the current builds set at a specific PI and 1/2 cars dominating any series...

MATHHHEWWWWWWWWWW
ive sent you a bleeding tune for the Seat Runs slightly off my golf buts close

Stop Moaning about the amount of golfs...it wont work you have to bite your tounge and fight simples it was the Exact same for the Touring masters Cossie or die simples

What do you guys mean im using the wrong bloody font.. i use the same [Censored] font for ever race series i take part in.. never had a damn issue before. I want my 5 points re instated imediatly..

"You must use the numbers that have been provided with the box, do not change the colour or the font."

That's in the rules and regs, if you broke it then the penalty is fair enough.

you got a Warning last week thanks to my Moaning and bitching about the 2 - 5 place penalties that was gonna be given out, so dont start Fing and Jeffing at the penalties given out now cause u did not adhere to the warning before, if you have a Problem dont put it in here, PM a Steward Such as myself.

Any other Problems please PM a Steward if you have a Problem with the Penalties been given out.

Thanks Solar

Whoever told you that has got something mixed up. Your number board was the wrong size and it was YellowyChief who used the wrong font.

Shooter a mix up was made over the reasoning for the penalty, we apologize for that.

The punishment still stands as you had been warned before and its clearly stated in the rules that a punishment will be given if livery rules are not followed.

My numberboard has been the same size since day one!

Well I guess you're lucky you don't have an even worse penalty. You were given a warning after Round 4 and you didn't change them for Round 5, so according to the Steward's handbook you receive a penalty.

Quite clear evidence! Thank you Stan! I hope this debate stops now

Cracking Racing Lads, what a way 2 finish it with battling all round aye well done to the Winners and team Winners

All I can say about those races is "PHEW!!"

Fastest Scirocco R (Just) and fastest guy that turned up and raced every week. Happy with that

So as Br won the teams title fo we get a slot on tv lol...

Think teams points are wrong, rules say there is a drop round for both drivers and teams championships.

Good racing tonight guys, had a nice battle with Bellmond in race 2

we just got confirmation from Stan that there was not meant to be a Drop round for Team Standings.

To be fair I didn't think there were supposed to be a drop round for any of them. there weren't when I read the rules before race 1 so not sure why they've been changed halfway through a series.
