TORA Avon Tyres British GT Championship: General Discussion

All discussion for the championship here.

Any idea why the registration page is playing up?

Registration page is locked until 8pm tonight

8 PM BST?

That's correct yes - so a little over 2.5hrs to go

Hi guys!!

Can't wait, after racing here for a year, practicing, I have a feeling Griptek will be competitive on this game

How are the lobbys going to work? Are we sticking to the old format of qualifying then taking a break to set up the lobbys and then racing or something different?

I believe the Mustang was omitted from the Rules and Regs post, but is listed in the Car List post.

TORA races usually force off some assists, but I didn't see a mention of that in the Rules for this series. Will all assists be permitted then?

Also to clarify on registration, since most TORA members have three digit numbers, we're just posting the car's livery/team name in our registration, yes?

How come the M3 GT3 is Omitted from the carlist? I thought it was mildly competitive as opposed to the Aston HH which was massively off-pace with all other GT4's and so rightly not on the list.

May i say this is a awesome Idea, also, im 3rd place in Leaderboards with a GT3 Car

The thing is that the real life British GT Championship doesn't run the M3. I think they've only used a GT3 spec M3 in the VLN.

Just a word of warning before the registrations open in a few minutes. The Bilstein AMR livery on the Aston GT3 is mine! It's has my TORA number on it so it's mine! All MINE!

The GT3 version of the M3 ran at the VLN 24hrs in 2010 (and possibly 2011 not too sure)

Respectfully request the 53 SLS be reserved until I can get registered. Being in class on a mobile, doesn't work all the time

Can one of the series organisers kindly post and let us know if and for that matter what assists are allowed, such as TCS.

Also, on the calendar list for the series can we be told which track version will be used, e.g first meeting of the season is Oulton Park but is that Fosters, International or Island? I assume for GT racing it will be International but just a little note next to each track on the calendar would be great.

Thanks.

Is there a limit on how many people will be able to race ?

I want to participate in this but I suck at driving with a controller I just don´t want to crash anyone. I need to think about it

As regards assists, the real GT3 cars have TCS and ABS. Those will be permitted.
I took out the lobby settings from the rules just until we are 100% happy with the options.
We will test a couple of final settings at the Media Day and invite feedback.
For the calendar, it is the same as the real world championship except for Zolder. I encourage you to visit the British GT site for lap information and other little nuggets that may prove useful.
The exact layout for each will be added shortly.

A lot of us joined TORA after the BGT announcement and have no idea what to expect in lobby. Perhaps we could arrange a pre-season test before media day to a) get to grips with the way a meeting could be and b) figure out roughly where we are on pace with each other.

I know a lot of us are going to be keeping half an eye on the N 24 this weekend but I for one would be glad of the chance before it kicks off for real. I put it all rather officially, but it doesn't need to be an official TORA session with marshals et al.

ill run 1 tonight if you want? I need to get back in the grove of marshalling.

How do you want it, just a test or practice through to race?

LMR will be hosting sessions for testing and tuning as certain times during the week. The first one is Wednesday @6:30 EST and all are welcome to join! More info at teamlmr.forumotion.com/

If you are looking to run a session it would seem best to give those of us who dont know a taste of what it will really be like but that's your call. General testing would be welcome but we can do that on our own if we can't make an online session.

okay ill run through the quali and race sim, im don't mind too much

Na there was one in the series last year. Remember seeing it a Brands Hatch, Think it broke after 15 minutes.
